Where the hell has this mans videos been all my life..

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Ha ha! Thank you. Glad they help.

[@ngonzale3]

I must say, I get why most clients like the clean, white light look of the rooms, (and I deliver the myself) but the moody, warm capture of the room (2:31) is lovely as well.

[@sweet_it_is]

I like your style of editing... simple yet beautiful! thanks!

[@FranHoganPanama]

Thank you for such a detailed and specific tutorial. It helped me a great deal with my real estate photo processing.

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

You're very welcome!

[@RickThomasPueblo]

really straight forward example of how to merge the shots and get the best blending of them

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Thank you 🙌

[@majorchisholm6794]

Thanks. Very detailed video. This is what I needed.

[@groupeone23]

Thank you so very much! Your explanation was thorough and the pacing of your presentation allowed me to absorb the details of what you taught us. (Too many other presenters cram far too much into a shorter video that has only left me confused.) Your presentation is the first video where I could make sense of luminosity masking in Photoshop. I appreciate your help more than you know. Thanks again.

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Thank you. I really appreciate that

[@basicPROcreator]

Thank you! Love you!

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

You are so welcome!

[@cutesimak]

Thank you. That was very informative.

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Crowuk01]

Thank you for sharing, a great tutorial and to the point :-)

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Appreciate that. You're welcome.

[@czapskibusinessgroup]

I know this video is a bit older now but the photos aren't in the description for download. Where could I get them? Great tutorial!

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Thank you! I had to remove them. But I do plan on doing another video and adding more raw files to download and edit soon. Stay tuned.

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

i think you had a really good opportunity to really make the window (window pull image) colors really pop. otherwise a really good tutorial.

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Thank you. I don't like to over do window pulls. That's just my style. I prefer a more natural look.

[@HiFocusedCinematography]

Great video! All the other videos I’ve watched. I’ve been a lot more confusing. Quick question though where do you position your flash do you point it straight at the window from behind the camera?

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Thank you. I appreciate that. I try and bounce the flash in order to create a softer light. Straight up is fine, from just above the camera. But better if you can angle it backwards a little and bounce off the wall behind. But don't do that if the walls are brightly coloured, because you will get colour casts. When bouncing the light backwards you will need to add a bit more power. But it gives you softer shadows, which are then easier to deal with.

[@HiFocusedCinematography]

@@luxuryrealestatephotographer Okay got it thank you! I'd love to see a video talking about what flash you use and how you use it!

[@stefan4831]

Thanks Phil, I learned so much from your video and will try this out as I have only used ambient shots and it simply isn't good enough with bright windows. Would a classic Godox style flash be sufficient for rooms up to 40m2? Do you have any video's demonstrating how you make the shots ?

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Thanks! Do you mean a speedlight? That'll work OK for small rooms, yes. If its one of the powerful ones. For larger rooms you'll need at least an AD200. Check out this video and let me know if there is more info required and I'll make a specific one to help with the shooting method. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXLEYmB7ntl3nbM

[@stefan4831]

​@@luxuryrealestatephotographer Yes I meant speedlight, thanks. How do you know where to direct your flash (It will have impact on shadows)? Is one flash photo usually enough? I enjoy watching all of your video's but could be an idea to show how you light 2or 3 different room situations and it would always be interesting to see more editing video’s. Also loved the video with tips like using your own presets, adjustable camera hight and especially: taking a break before sending pics off. This last one is so important but haven’t seen anyone mention it

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

@@stefan4831 hi. I have just uploaded a full walk through video. Have a look, I think it will help answer some of your questions 👍

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

Great explanation and tutorial. Greatly appreciated. I'm wondering if your presents are available for purchase?

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Hi. Thank you for watching. I don't, but I have a tutorial on my channel on how I create my Preset, so please do check that out.

[@LeoDodier]

That was a very informative video, thank you. I noticed you were shooting ISO 100 and a shutter speed of 1/250. I typically use ISO 340 and max out my flash shutter speed at 1/200. Why do you pick ISO 100 and how do you not have shutter blur? Thank you.

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

I have HSS (high speed sync) on my flash. I keep my iso low out of habit from shooting with old cameras with a lot of noise. 340 is fine on new cameras, however I still prefer 100 for zero noise and I need it due to how bright and sunny it is in Dubai.

[@LeoDodier]

@@luxuryrealestatephotographer I have a good selection of lights, a speedlight, and AD200, AD400, and AD normal 600. On the bigger houses with a lot of wood, I need the power. I’d like to see a video on how you light those homes especially with the ISO 100, especially your test shots and how do you determine when there’s enough light. Thanks.

[@JoshxIZ]

Iso controls how powerful the flash is and shutterspeed controls the ambient.

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

@@JoshxIZ Think of ISO as gain. It increases the sensors sensitivity to light. It does not have any control over the flash directly, just light in general.

[@vasluianua]

Forgot to put the files 😁

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Yeah I did 😫. And when I remembered later, I discovered id accidentally deleted them 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@larryisaacs5980]

You mentioned at the end of this video that you would provide a link to download the three photos used. I do not see that download link. Where would that link be located?

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Annoyingly I've removed the photos when clearing up. I can send you some others to practice on if you would like?

[@larryisaacs5980]

@@luxuryrealestatephotographer OK, thanks!

[@roderickmclean9927]

I cant find the example files. Am I blind?

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Sorry I had to remove them. I'll be doing some more edits with example files soon. Apologies.

[@hotelphotography]

Any reason why you flash the space from the camera?

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

[@hotelphotography]

@@luxuryrealestatephotographer As I see from the photo and shadows, you triggered the flash from camera straight to the bed, or am I missing something?

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

The flash is triggered from just above the camera straight up, or if possible I'll angle it backwards a little and bounce it off the wall behind me. But when doing that you will need to add a little more power.

[@hotelphotography]

@@luxuryrealestatephotographer I have 1 flash next to my camera and another flas in front on the right corner. I than take a shot and move that flash to the left. Then take another shot. Later in post I blend those 2 with a natural light shot. 👍

[@luxuryrealestatephotographer]

@@hotelphotography yes. If its a large room I'll pop some more. But generally I don't need to for a room like that.
