How To Shoot and Edit Interior Photography

[@cindzsmith]

I’m a photography student and I’m going to do an interior shot of a restaurant this afternoon and this just gave me a confidence booster 🥺 thanks for the great video! Loved it

[@Frequentfinder]

This is the best interior photography video I’ve seen and I’ve watched so many. No need to watch anymore:. Thank you!

[@PlastiForge]

I appreciate this overview of one way you shoot interiors. Not over complicated with 13 slave flashes.

[@mikechajecki7323]

I'm an interior design photographer here in Toronto, I've been shooting or over 15 years. I stumbled upon your video and I must say it's very informative for someone that is just learning and wants a good starting point. Well done!

[@_parkphoto]

Watched this for a second time after gaining some experience in real estate photography, super helpful to reinforce those guidelines for shooting interiors!

[@stalman]

So few interior tutorials actually have great photos, so this was awesome to watch! I would love to know more about how approach grading those HDR files

[@BeckiandChris]

Tyler Stalman thanks! I’ll make a video on how I edit one from start to finish!

[@victorshikhman]

This is would be excellent, thank you!

[@benjaminhunter9090]

YES PLEASE!

[@lexysviews2492]

YES!

[@B-Moye]

Would be very much appreciated

[@eagleaerialsolutionsllc446]

First time I have watched your videos, but you do a great job of getting to the point and covering the topics quickly. Great work.

[@photojunkysdronezonevlog]

Awesome video. I just got my unmanned aircraft operators license and am going to start doing real estate. I have lots of Photography experience, just not Interiors for real estate. Thanks for the great video.

[@yoramswiers]

These are by far the most usefull tips I have found on youtube on this topic at least!

[@DefamsTV]

the explanation is just like rain - no stop. thank you Becki

[@GuilDormeus]

This was so helpful. Straight to the point and CLEAR af! I literally watch this video 10 times today. I have a real estate shoot tomorrow morning and I’m a bit nervous 😩 so this video definitely helped me. Thanks

[@pancho980]

the fact that this video is only 6 minutes long and provides so much info in detail compared to a 20-minute video that would explain the same thing is insane.

[@joshsizemoremusic]

That was one of the best KZbin vidoes ever! What a succint rad job!!! Thank you for the knowledge.

[@bymrchu]

Thank you, Becki. This is by far the most useful and easiest to understand video on Real Estate / Interior Design Photography I've found on KZbin! Keep up the awesome work! I'm subscribed!

[@cooperreid5883]

Best video I've found so far on KZbin talking about this.

[@RuchelleVorster]

I have watches so many videos and was so confused I wasn’t sure if i have the right equipment or if i need lighting or not but it made my day when i saw u have the same camera body, lenses and tripod thank you !!!

[@dynatosanax]

Extremely helpful! I'm doing my first interior shoot in a few days and this just saved my life, thank you!

[@frontsideboy]

Great little vid. I’ve shot a couple of interiors and came here for some reassurance I’m in the right ball park. One thing I didn’t know about was the hdr composit in lightroom. I didn’t know you could composit then edit. That’s awesome. I have zero photoshop skill so this is really gonna help. Your photos are incredible. Thanks for your help!

[@jerrynorman8978]

Becki, I've shot interiors for several years but found your video very informative. I really like your fast pace delivery - no wasted time here! I've recently been using LR HDR but I was surprised by your comment about editing them after the merge. So I went to Google and learned something very interesting - in the Basic panel if you drag the exposure slider on one of the original raws the range will be -5 to +5 stops. If you drag the exposure slider on the merged file (which is still a raw) the range will be -10 to +10 stops which is huge increase in dynamic range. This is great to know. Like another poster here I would like to hear any specifics you care to share about your edit process on the merged file.

[@BeckiandChris]

Jerry Norman thanks so much! Maybe I’ll put together a video on how I edit a tough one from start to finish. Usually only do a little exposure/hightlight/shadow adjustment, then white balance and making sure the colors look the way they do in person. I usually let the windows blow out a bit because I like that look.

[@sebastianmejia3134]

Great video, would you please share with us what metering mode you recommend and examples of camera seatings for your exposures? Thanks

[@gazhos]

This video is dense with raw information, thank you.

[@Kenrobin7111]

Great photos with unique interesting perspectives on what works best for you. Appreciate your sharing this.

[@bobzorexlopez1278]

this was so helpful, that hdr trick is great

[@juriparladore5634]

I just get a job and didn't know how to do it fast and perfect! after watching this video and doing what you said, the result is great! thanks a lot!

[@sirreedster]

Wow, as somebody who is just getting started into real estate photography, thank you so much for this video. It was extremely informative.

[@trimotionmedia5487]

This was very refreshing. I am so used to seeing crappy RE/Interior photography youtube videos from old hags who are boring and take very tasteless photos. Your photos look great for ambient only shots

[@TCCR]

Shooting interiors for a local business tomorrow and these tips were super helpful. Thank you.

[@marcklassen6577]

Sometimes I watch your videos just for the intros, So good! But also for the crazy skill tips you two share!

[@victorshikhman]

This was great, thank you! Subscribed. Please do videos on: 1) manually adjusting distortion/keystoning/diverging lines when Lightroom doesn't correct it perfectly. 2) multiple exposures for hdr photography, how you determine amount of under and overexposure, etc. 3) ideas for managing cramped spaces, maybe with panorama stitching? 4) 360 degree shots

[@DPCTechnology]

Love it! Can u do an updated thumbnail design tutorial? Been a few years since u did one...

[@Mr_Kenneth]

DANG GIRL! This is like a degree in photography compressed in to a few minutes! Awesome. Thank you.

[@amysofia5783]

I have a potential interior design business client (my first one) who asked me if I would take some photos for her. This video has been immensely helpful. Thank you!

[@germanevision]

You gave so much info in just 6:47 minutes. I had to keep going 10 seconds back just to avoid missing all that you said. Thanks.

[@andrieslucian]

You nailed it. As a beginner, I am spending my time watching courses, and you, with a 6-7 min video answered to most of my questions. Very well prepared, ticking all the boxes straight to the point. I feel more confident now. :D

[@SevakHakoyan]

I love the straight on strategy. It always comes out good

[@hairulnordin]

I did some interior photography before for a hotel. This really takes me back to what I have done and this also helps me to incorporate new ideas for future clients! Thank you for this inspiring video! 😁

[@BeckiandChris]

Nurhairula Nordin glad to hear it! Thanks! 😊

[@markhardycreative]

I’ve been shooting architecture professionally for just over ten years this is One of the very few interior videos I’ve seen doing a genuinely good job. I like the way you think and explain the shots. I also use almost entirely natural light for the reasons you explain. The only difference is I use one exposure and capture one which exposes more dynamic range than lightroom.

[@BeckiandChris]

Mark Hardy thanks so much!!

[@RICHARDWATSONPHOTO]

Mark Hardy hi mark bit late to the conversation. I have an interior shoot coming up and also use capture one. Do you use lights combined with natural light or just one daylight image and then bring into capture one? Do you find that works ok?

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Thanks 🙏 I’ve just started in real estate and that was really helpful

[@happispaces]

Perfect! Just the information I was looking for and more. I have bought myself a Nikon DSLR camera and have been really struggling with knowing what lens to buy and what to do next. I am an interior designer and love to take photo but constantly feel disappointed in my shots. I'm learning so this is a great short vid packed with info. I will check out your other vids now and hopefully learn lots more.

[@TEBInteriorsInc]

As an Interior Design company, It is SO important to have PROPER photos of your work but who can afford to pay a professional photographer. Great video and tips!!! Thank you!!

[@thegreatharrisoni]

Who can afford to pay a professional interior designer?

[@bigshooter461]

Nice work, You are obviously an actual professional, with an understanding of what Properly finished work looke like....not to knock the creator space, but there is alot of subjective feelsy advice out there and I think you really break down some solid fundimentals in a straight forward way.

[@divemasterdarron]

OK. Your video presentation style and pace is AMAZING and helpful. Bravo! As a fellow Newfoundlander I was especially pleased to know someone so articulate, professional and knowledgable was from my home town. Nice work. Now I'm off to photograph interior photos of the Manitoba Legislature. Thanks for the tips.

[@Indy_at_the_beach]

Great outline of key points for interior shooting. Well done.

[@jonbarrino]

This was the best interior-photography tutorial I found! Super intuitive and well done. Thank you for your tips and tricks, much appreciated! 🤓

[@Jacob-xe2si]

Thanks for the video and info. I’m glad to know all I really need is a decent wide angle lens and good tripod. The rest relies on learning how to edit in photoshop and Lightroom.

[@kolapyellow7631]

Love the yellow chairs.

[@richardcary5751]

Very good video. Although I don't shoot interior or real estate, it never hurts to have these techniques in your memory bank. They can be just as useful when photographing people in homes.

[@DeadGlassEyes]

I like to keep my tripod at just above waist height, of course that also depends on how tall you are. I'm 170. For kitchen shots its generally a good idea to boost the tripod height a bit more as kitchen counters are set higher than couches, tables, etc.

[@dustindrake1257]

These are really helpful, will probably help me reduce the need for me to outsource. But anyway, outsourcing helps me avoid boring repetitive editing. edithere if someone needs it, not that I want to advertise but their service is really great.

[@thoop2853]

Super helpful! But do you have any tips to what to do with a room without enough natural light?

[@johnrogers001]

Wow! That was a lot of (good) information crammed into a short video! Thanks!

[@MateusRapini]

Great video! Loved the fast paced whey you talk!

[@antoninonieto4054]

Amazing photography!!! And great tips!

[@opwindmuis]

First video i’ve watched, instant subscribe. Nice work :)

[@markdale1969]

That was just amazing. I am doing a photo shot tomorrow of a lodge for a friend. So she can update her photos. Hopefully get some great shot for her and edit them later for her. I will watch some more of your videos. To hopefully give me some more ideas. Have a good one, your new subscriber.

[@RON_ZHOU]

Another great video. Hi Becki, just wondering what tripod(model) are you using? Do you have any advises for a tripod? Thanks Ron

[@austrian96]

Just brilliant!!! Thank you!🤗💖

[@martinedholm3812]

Great video Becki! Please make a video on how you can get rooms with white walls as close as possible to that white in the editing.

[@Productions-fe8hr]

Great video! Thanks for the simple approach!

[@fergusquinn5337]

Nice work! Could I ask if you are bracketing full or third stops?

[@vadarr3818]

Thank you for the information! I just got my 16-35mm 2.8 ii in the mail today and I can't wait to try to take some interior photos!

[@teocrawford]

Waaay too much good information in one video for it to be free :0 thank you so much Becki!

[@mfmanuele]

I started doing 5 exposures for the photo merge and the results were much better in my opinion.

[@AStorybyMo]

Very informative. I really love your energy. How you get right into the video. Never any filler. Also, love the music! Easy to listen and follow along with what you had to say:) subbed!

[@Gabriel-vw9we]

Super fast video but too much relevant content! I loved it

[@brendanwenzel]

Great job explaining all the details in a quick and simple manner!

[@wasikowskha]

loved it nice vibe the energy amaaaaazing

[@elisapugliese3669]

this is a great video, and even if you speak fast I understand you well, lots of beautiful pictures, I love it

[@josephbarberphotography]

Thanks! I like your Lightroom tip on Auto correct the verticals.

[@Tommytoolsqueezer]

I use my 600w strobe, looks so good. Then I use an ambient to blend in the furniture

[@philippegelinas3083]

Great tips! I also use a 5D Mark III and I was wondering if you use the Canon menu to do HDR or you manually expose 3 pictures. I'm starting in real estate and I just want to make sure the tripod doesn't move If I play with the setting to manually expose 3 pictures...

[@TateBugs]

Which lightroom do you have? I have LR5 and I don’t have the merge option 🤨 I keep trying to take beautiful photos of the inside of my home, but we have tons of windows and I keep having issues with the light blowing EVERYTHING out when I shoot towards a window. I literally just learned yesterday about bracketing photos and now I’m eager to try!

[@thenaje]

dope dope dope. y'all make the best tutorials.

[@esc34th]

This is dope ! 🔥 Thank you for this valuable info

[@SandySaintilus]

This video is SO INFORMATIVE! I'm about to photograph some kitchens soon and def gonna use these tips :)

[@fernando58599]

Hi Becki, can you be more specific about the 3 exposures values? Love your tips, thanks!

[@GeneMoretti]

0 -1 +1 and 1 flash shot, 4 total shots. www.genemoretti.com

[@Wildfire_WC]

@@GeneMoretti , what gear do you recommend for real estate photography? Canon 6D m ii & Canon 16-35 f/4L IS any good? What about lighting? Thanks!!

[@mrPhotographer76]

Finally a fellow photographer in Canada that does real estate. Do you have anymore how for real estate?

[@MetalCynics]

Awesome Video. When you shoot 3 photos ... What is the range you are bracketing? Full stop over and under?

[@opalyankaBG]

Short but still to the point. Nice video.

[@briekyboy]

Hi, thank you for this video, it was the first one I encountered with actual heplfull tips and good looking results. I'm really curious for the post produce video. Is that up already? Couldn't find it on you page. Thanks again!

[@JensGraikowski]

Hi Becki. I've watched a couple of your videos and I'm very glad I found your channel. I'm not a photographer (yet), but I plan to be one. Let's say I'm in the training period and since I plan to work in the interior photography niche I hope to get loads of value out of your videos. Thx for all the work you do here on YT. 👍🏼😉

[@amirehrlich4969]

Thanks a lot Becki for this beautiful and very informative video (poped up for me only today...) I also prefer shooting with natural light only and use multiple exposures with the Lightroom's HDR merge function. One of the issues I have is getting blue color cast in the photos and walls aren't always as white as they should be (of course, I adjust the WB using the eye dropper selector). Can you please share any suggestions on how to overcome this issue ? Thanks

[@mibreit-photo]

Those were actually some very good tips. Many tutorials on youtube tend to be a bit superficial, but you got quite a lot of helpful information in here. Thanks!

[@NicoGamer14]

Thank you! Informative, beautiful, and straight to the point

[@jacobmarciniec]

Love your tips, Becki! Especially love you doing it all with natural light. :)

[@LizziePeirce]

SO informative. This is the perfect video for someone to watch if they want to get into this type of photography. BECKI COMIN THROUGH WITH THE VALUE AGAIN!!!!

[@BeckiandChris]

Lizzie Peirce ❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼 thanks my girl!!!

[@DarrellColemanShamrock7504]

This is a great video. You explanations are so specific that even me as a beginner I can understand it. Thank you and I will definitely be following all of your work.

[@ohyofavis]

Oh wow I learned a lot under 7 minutes. Thank you so much for this!

[@vaidotasdarulis]

I like that you also have this approach of capturing both wide angle room shots and smaller details with a style. We often see this very fronted architectural perspective style which is getting very repetitive. Having wide angle, a bit closer furniture shots and small details fragments/decor is what I love doing the most. Would like to hear ideas on using people in the shots, usually they are in motion, but it get's boring fast as well. :)

[@TheElizaHH]

Love this video. My only question relates to creating HDR with three bracketed images. The final HDR images comes out looking fake-HDR like. Is there a particular way to bracket that would help with this. Like how many stops in between each shot? Thanks for a very helpful tutorial.

[@BrianSellers]

This is fantastic! So much info in a short period of time - I need to start taking more detail shots of my houses... Thanks much! 🙂

[@SilverHouseHD]

Great video Becki. Love it! Love learning how other interior photographers shoot and their process.

[@murrayplourde]

Great video!! For your highlight and shadow shots are you just auto bracketing the f stop or are you adjusting and taking 3 manual shots?

[@CommunityInspire]

Wow. That was really good. Thanks for talking fast. You fit so much into such a short time!

[@WayUpMedia]

LOVE this video. very simple, clean and to the point

[@franciscaevans5040]

Wow! Your photo tips are great! I wrote down a lot of notes but I can’t afford the Canon 5Dmk3 & the lens yet ($4,000 + for the set). For a beginner in Home Staging & Interior Design, which cameras & lens would you recommend that can still give me professional pictures at a lower price, if any. Thank you for all the information you’ve shared.

[@yetidrone]

Great tips Becky, love your inspiration and enthusiasm!

[@F22SNIPER1]

Great Video! Just wondering, do you use auto white balance?

[@wrightanglephotography7564]

Wonderful how-to. Concise and helpful. Love your work! Is the shot at 2:39 natural light only?

[@BeckiandChris]

Wright Angle Photography thank you! That shot was just the artificial light available in the bathroom from the two pot lights in the ceiling and the mirror light.
