Hi Cole, thank you for putting out the content that you do. I'm just looking at getting into Real Estate Photography. I'm out in the Palm Springs area and have been watching @itselijones videos until I just came across your channel. Any other advice for someone just looking to get started?

[@ColeConnor]

Of course, and thank you for tuning in! I would just check out some of the other videos. I try to put as much as I can in these vids to help out! If you any specific questions, let me know

[@orbithousemedia]

Great video @Cole Connor out of curiosity can you tell me what animation title that is you used saying “1324 Morning Side Way”?

[@ColeConnor]

Thank you! It’s a. Davinci resolve title with animation underneath

[@orbithousemedia]

@@ColeConnor I have Davinci Resolve, this is a beautiful animation. What is this animation set called?

[@LoudlabsNYC]

Thank you

[@ColeConnor]

You’re welcome, thank you for watching ♥️💪

[@smartlifestyleeveryday3336]

Thanks man, amazing tips as always! Can you suggest me one thing please? I use a Sony a6000 and I shoot with bracketing but with this model of camera you can shoot 5 images only up to 0.7Ev difference and over 0.7 only 3 images (they limited the software…) so I shoot 3.0Ev3 instead of 2.0Ev3, but when there are very bright lights or bright windows I get very overexposed lights /windows even after merging the photos in Lrc with Lr enfuse. I even tried to drop the starting photo Ev by -1 but still the lights/windows gets too much over exposed, what can I do? Can’t really figure it out. Thanks a lot!

[@ColeConnor]

Hi there, I work for a few companies that require 2.0Ev3 and photos turn out great. I would shoot that and see how it goes. I think 3.0ev3 is def too much

[@BandoNando777]

Where do you make you website at?

[@ColeConnor]

I designed it myself with a theme on Wordpress and custom editing with elementor

[@claribelbrizuela7170]

NICE video! thanks 🚨 question: In what size do you export the images for your portfolio?

[@ColeConnor]

Thanks so much!! I export them as full JPGS and upload to Aryeo. Then they send the client a MLS version and full rez. Before Aryeo, i exported at 2048 x 1536 ❤️

[@AndrewCottierMedia]

This is some good advice man. Everyones making videos about how to get clients etc but they aren't really talking about how to legitimise your brand and break into the industry

[@ColeConnor]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 very flattering comment bro, it’s so important to be that brand!! Thank you for tuning in 🎬💪

[@ShelterDogs]

Hi Cole. Would you mind sharing the one photo mill in LA you recommend?

[@ColeConnor]

I can't share them all, but one that has helped sometime is Homejab. But I have a love/hate relationship with them

[@ShelterDogs]

Thank you. Good to know. From what I understand, none of them pay very well.

[@youmarc11]

Thanks. Where do you find a list of companies that hire real estate photographers as independent contractors?

[@ColeConnor]

You're welcome! I don't know of a list, but I just go on indeed and search for real estate photo every week or so. I also have them sent to my inbox. You can also google them in your area.

[@youmarc11]

@@ColeConnor Cool thanks. I tried googling and didn't find much. Unless I'm doing it wrong. "Companies that hire real estate photographers as independent contractors."

[@ColeConnor]

I would google real estate photography (insert city name) and then look at who is running google ads. Then look at the comapnies and just email them all. Most of them only hire freelance anyways, and some might not need help yet, but will in future@@youmarc11

[@youmarc11]

@@ColeConnor Will do thanks.

[@Tactical_Taco]

Great video for me as someone who is getting started in photography! I’m curious where exactly you were living in SC as I’m from Charleston,South Carolina!

[@Tactical_Taco]

You earned a sub from me 😁 keep it up.

[@ColeConnor]

Thank you!! I appreciate you subscribing! I’m from Sumter, SC. Started a business in Columbia, and then later in Beaufort. So just right down the way. There is huge opportunity there. You got this!

[@k.w.7412]

Thanks for the info! I've been trying to figure out how to get realtors email addresses... how have you gone about it?

[@ColeConnor]

Of course, and thanks for watching! Other than doing the research and getting them one by way, I’ve also used softwares that automatically extract emails from web pages and even hired people on fiver to get them for me

[@k.w.7412]

@@ColeConnor thank you!

Hope it helps!!@@k.w.7412

great video Cole!

[@ColeConnor]

Thank you and I appreciate you letting me know 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@theothercharliemurphy]

Cold email better than cold calling?

[@ColeConnor]

Not necessarily, I personally just despise cold calling. But if it works for you, go for it. Or at least give it a shot!
