How To Shoot and Edit Professional Interior Photography

[@OzMadMan82]

If only all houses were so beautifully set with nice furniture.

[@crae.e.e]

This is the best video I've seen on interior photography. No extra talks, just straight useful tips. Thank you so much!

[@TheNorseTexan]

This is the best interior photography video ever. Thanks for not pushing flambient using absolutely hideous images. Thanks for posting gorgeous interior shots that show great color, depth, and composition, FFS. Thank you, thank you.

[@ush45]

So nice to hear someone say it! I absolutely detest the window pulled heavy weighted on flash, flambient images that most youtube people push. I only use flash composites for high end work and its very subtle. Real estate is ambient only.

[@richdie72]

I’m a full time interior photographer who studied art. Trying to explain to people why the window pull is so bad (mostly) is very tricky. It also really flattens the image. My attention always goes immediately to the windows which is just wrong. All the editors that constantly contact me all do it too. Who wants to see that parked car or house across the road.

[@AtomicPixel]

Haha agreed! Flambient sucks

[@musselmanmedia5236]

lol fr like bro just look at it when u get to the house@@richdie72

[@NeonShores]

Flambient is great and the editing doesn't have to include window pulls. The whole idea is to kill white balance and color cast issues using flash and blend in natural light. You can use as much ambient light as you personally feel like.

[@skreeeboy]

Been a photographer for decades, and I have often worked professionally. I've never taken interior shots like this, but being an experienced photographer generally, I can tell she really knows what she's talking about. Concise and very clearly outlined with excellent example images. Well done, and thank you.

[@devinjford]

Yes!! Thank you. I also blow out my windows for the most part, for the same reasons. I also just prefer the look. But often fight an internal battle because it isn't a "proper" exposure. F*** it tho. It looks great... and it's less work lol. Fantastic video.

[@lynnegraves237]

Love to watch your blend process in post. I find HDR looks like terrible real estate photography.

[@BabyBoomerChannel]

You have a way of conveying a tremendous amount of information in a conversational manner. And you effortlessly blend technical info with artistic info. I really appreciate both of these attributes of your teaching style. Thanks!

[@suzannawise5773]

One of the most helpful and straight forward videos on interior photography I've seen. Thanks a million!

[@Grainypapi]

Perfect video, no fluff just straight to the point

[@neffknows1]

Easily one of the best guides to real estate photography. Clear explanations of some complex rather concept concepts. You've packed the majority of a real estate gig into 11:25min, that's pretty impressive.

[@andreimoldovanu9931]

Loved how straight to the point this was. I will be watching it twice!

[@BrianSellers]

So much ridiculously helpful info in such a compact, easy-to-watch package - great stuff as always, Becki! Hope you guys are well!

[@realestatephotovideoshawns1177]

I agree with you 100%. Well at least 95%. Glowing white ceilings, super vibrant outside that is not worthy. Just a couple of my pet peeves. Great video!

[@donhendricks3190]

IMHO ... THIS is the level of EXCELLENCE to which we all aspire. Bravo! So well done. Solid, practical, useful tips! With Love from Atlanta.

[@Narsuitus]

Thanks for the excellent video. Very complete and useful information. The only info I found lacking was: 1. Using fill flash to light a room. 2. Using polarizing filter to control unwanted reflections. 3. Using shift/tilt lens to control perspective and/or depth-of-field.

[@AliAbbas77]

One of the most easiest and straight forward video

[@jerrynorman8978]

I've done a fair amount of interior photography and video, and I still learned from this excellent tutorial. I love the presentation style - no fluff, no wasted time. Highly recommended!

[@BaldManVisuals]

Wow. This is amazing information! And I have the same 16-35 Zeiss lens and A7IV. Great tips. Thanks!!! ❤

[@AspectStudio]

This is great because I just started a Real Estate Photo/Video/360 tour business. I'm always looking for more tips, tricks and, uh, people to tell me how to do it better. You guys rule...

[@TABO744]

Love Is the Greatest Point of life ... and I'm loving!!!!!!!

[@capturelightmedia]

I've been watching a bunch of these kinds of videos. Glad to see one from your channel. I work construction but my life is photography and filmmaking. I'm trying to merge the two.

[@BeckiandChris]

Oh great way to merge both! I loved shooting renovations for designers, so much inspo

[@capturelightmedia]

@@BeckiandChris In an ideal world I could get out of working manual labor and focus solely on my creative endeavors. I've been trying and working at it for well over a decade. I run a recording studio, make as many videos as I can and take photos every chance I get. One day out of perseverance alone I will succeed. I must keep pushing.

[@QuestHuntersGaming]

The most informative video I’ve ever watched on youtube , i can confidently shoot after 12 Minutes Video ❤

[@AndrewsGuitarChannel]

Photography is so easy these days with digital cameras. Back in the day I was using a Sinar 4x5 view camera.

[@atulya98]

Super useful Video. Could you make one start to end editing video for interior Photography ?

[@simonharris8817]

Well done! I have been shooting properties for about 15 years. About the only thing i would do differantly is that I almost always bracket for clear, natural windows. If the view out the window is awful then sure, blow it out. Good vid.

[@kakegarcia8056]

Another hidden gem is the tripod ARTCISE CS60C for about $160, this is the one I use for everything, I shoot Real Estate here in Panamá all across the country and this tripod is unbeatable, you can compare it with some very expensive ones. Bests regards from a Venezuelan follower!

[@montrelcaldwelljr]

Great video. Just one question, how do you get those black & white lines around what your really focusing on? Timestamp 0:11 is what i’m referring too

[@CamilleDesmond-y5l]

This video is exactly what I needed right now, thank you!

[@christopherbritton521]

Fantastic video… absolutely everything I need, except, how do you deal with the WB due to different interior light sources? Thanks a bunch

[@thabanimathonsi3272]

Why was the endng so funny 😅🤣 Thanks for great content!

[@aaronjones6135]

One point and two point perspectives 👍🏼

[@caseybachmeyer]

finally somebody knows what he s talking about...thanks for sharing, very helpful video

[@richardwagner3317]

Thanks for all the great tips. Grateful to hear you do not need a whole lot of kit to do this.

[@Nancy_Films]

This was awesome content! And it couldn't come at a perfect time! I just started working with an interior designer who has a construction company and I'm hoping to become there in house photographer. These were great pointers and I can't wait to implement them!

[@captsumtingwong]

Love the energy, serious, but also funny at the end 😆

[@amarhhh8135]

Thanks for this video very nice explanation about photography it helps starters to become professionals in no time

[@tomashudolin7197]

And one more thing :) With this approach without the flash, how do you edit scenes with windows? Because there are halos around window if you don't use flash against that window light.

[@AvatarOwner]

Quick one - 1:31 (the standing unit on the right of the frame) - can I ask where you got this from please/the name of it? Thanks!

[@OnOffSocialSG]

your tips are top tier :3 thank you for making this!

[@PaulMrPKcom]

Hi Becky. Great tutorial, less technical thank order that's great. :) Ok average hör much time on location and in front of pc does it take for a average 3 room apartment ?

[@cweb1988]

thanks for this. Helpful. And holy crap your house is perfection.

[@bestattentions]

Nailed it Becki! So clear and helpful especially for someone new to this.

[@naeemkhota]

This was an EXTREMELY helpful video as I am currently shooting content for a luxury real estate agent. Would love to see a videography version of this tutorial. When you have the time of course 🤗..... Thanks for being awesome as always!

[@lescoachingsdepierre]

The best KZbin video about the topic ! thank you so much

[@arete_]

What about lighting? Your lighting looks so natural and well spread out. How did you achieve this?

[@tomashudolin7197]

Should be great to have one more video about editing. Because what is here wasn’t enough. How to combine those 3 exposures? Are you using LR only or even PS? How to blend images to have details on highlihted floor for example etc. Thanks.

[@brucerobertson6196]

I learned more from your 11 minute video then all the other real estate videos out there it was to the point and informative Thank You

[@eijonbriguera4492]

Thank you for this tips and tutorials! Really helps me a lot for my start-up Real Estate Photography business. God bless you!

[@dreampic]

Thank you! Going to re-watch this again and again!

[@itskareemelsayed]

Wow literally answered every question I've ever had. I feel like I can get those pics. Now if only I had your style!

[@RonnieMbugua]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@tarask9971]

Thank you for this important tips. One question. How many photos do I need to shoot? I understand that it depends on client, but still. Do you have any rough idea in your head how much you need to shoot?

[@gijsarnoud7752]

Simple, straight to the point. Love it👍🏼

[@peterkenyonjr]

Nice video. Seems like a good skillset to add to the resume.

[@roseiracheta1141]

I’m not even halfway through the video but had to stop and comment on how well you are explaining it ALL!! The importance and preference of views, fstops, ISO, shutter speeds, etc.. THANK YOU!

[@LokeyTavs]

Thanks, Becki ✌🏼

[@jacobn842m]

Insane talent as a photographer and the tutorial is spot on! So much useful information in less than 12min. 🎉🎉🎉

[@gauthamp7344]

Oh my god I missed these types of videos. Love you work☺️

[@Number1Contender]

Maybe a little tip for the 3 exposure shooters. When you set your camera in the 3 exposures and set your camera to a timer, it will shoot the 3 exposures automatically in a row. You don’t have to shoot the 3 photos manually.

[@RolandKaufmann]

Good tips for a beginner photographer like myself! Real estate is gone absolutely wild in my neck of the woods so taking interiors for realtors could be a good option for me.

[@BeckiandChris]

Absolutely! I found it to be a great source of income when I was freelancing!

[@mattryanherrmann]

I am a full time real estate photographer and have been quite successful these past few years. It's not a stretch to earn over 6 figures shooting nothing but real estate.

[@jacobpriddle]

yeeeeeeeesss this is gonna be so helpful for a few future vid I'm making, thanks

[@franzkano8851]

Great info!

[@LemarGriffinfilms]

This is gold! So so much value!

[@Alexios13]

Wow such a great video. Thank you for all the explanations and tips.

[@the-creative-block]

Keystoning. New phrase. Didn’t know that one. Thanks!

[@emelineboileau5702]

To go deeper, do you have video on flash or mix ambiant & flash interior photography pls? ☺️

[@MarioSargeant]

Great information delivered so well. Thank you!

[@mpikers]

I’d love to see a live edit of some of your interior photos.

[@juanserrano5095]

Hey there, great video! I have a question for you: dont you have any problems with depth of field on the sony cameras? I just recently made the switch from nikon to sony, and even shooting at F11-F16 I cant get the whole scene on focus which didnt happened on my nikon where F8 was perfect, but Idk if it might be a setting problem. Thanks for posting your workflow and tips! great content

[@muza283]

great video! I'd love to know more about how you use the 3 exposures in post, as you seem to fix any dark parts of the room with the brush tool... does this mean you arent blending the 3 exposures atall? or if you are, do you cut out parts of one exposure and paste it onto the other?

[@kirstenspitzer1912]

Great video! What lights do recommend?

[@OotyExpress]

Absolutely awesome captures and educative video.....

[@mibreit-photo]

Like it, good summary!

[@tristanwilhelm9600]

Great video, super informative and easy to follow in a fast manner, thank you so much

[@JebbAdams]

Excellent, awesome Sunday film fare! Thanks Becki and Chris!

[@none0n]

This is sorcery. How did your fit in so much info in such a short time 😱😱

[@ThanosPal]

The best video out there. Kudos

[@tinolec]

Wow your videos on this subject are phenomenal! Incredibly clear and to the point! Thank you!

[@lluscheri]

Amazing video, as always! Thanks for so much quality content. If I can ask, I would love a video talking about how you organize your digital files like photos and videos. It's a nightmare for me.

[@aboveboard4914]

Great video!! So many photographers over complicate this subject but this was so straight forward and to the point 👍😊

[@AvatarOwner]

Couple other questions: Why F8-F11 as opposed to F14-F20? Is there any real noticable difference? Why 3 bracket instead of 5? - I've always shot 5 as I (could be wrong) think that gives more highlight and shadow range. Am I wrong? Would have liked to see positions for the 1.4-2.8 50mm depth shots. That's definitely something I struggle with the most - getting those shots, where to position the angles, etc. Diagrams of rooms maybe - showcasing a typical setup, where to position yourself/the cam, in comparison with the subject, etc - this is a more specific request, just something I'll develop over time too I suppose. None of my questions are wrong/rights - I'm more asking from an improvement/workflow point of view. If I can improve my skills, why not. And if I can save Harddrive space on RAWs as well and it's not making a massive difference, then why not haha

[@ritapatel8854]

Great tips! I just started interior design photography. This was super helpful!

[@ViryEscobar]

GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for sharing knowledge

[@vishweshwarkandalgaonkar4620]

Nice presentation. Thanks for sharing valuable knowledge.

[@hamsterneckliving]

Such great content. I learned several practical tips and broader concepts. Well done, Becki. I’ve followed for a while and love your vids but these ones lately have been next level! Thank you!

[@druburr2415]

Thanks for posting this. Super informative. 🔥

[@Antferguson_Photography]

Do you ever shoot tethered? So you don’t have to trigger the camera with your hand? To reduce motion blur?

[@ChantalSaxe]

I LOVE this video! For bracketing, are you using -1/+1 for the most part?

[@oxxxeee]

Excellent video. You might also consider using a geared tripod head to speed up leveling the camera.

[@grahamransom5162]

I'm so with you in terms of using natural light. I started out years ago using a flash and I hate it now. Silly things like shadows in slightly weird places.

[@MTD369]

you just gotta learn to blend and light paint effectively, and use luminosity layers. Adding flash shots to simulate the direction of where the sun comes from. That way you maintain the richness and saturation of colors with the flash and keep the natural shadows. Mike Kelley or Scott Hargis are the ones to learn from. This is kind of your more basic HDR edit.

[@paulajf4205]

I thought you were doing a home reno series, as in several rooms or areas. The two you have are great, but will there be anymore left in that series?

[@PaulRamen]

You use the photo-merge for HDR, do you ever use it for Panorama (or HDR panorama) ?

[@BenjiSelby]

This is perfect! My sister in-law is looking to transition more into interior design and asked me to shoot some photos on their new place for her portfolio... Coming in clutch as always!!!!🔥

[@masultra]

Great video! Just wondering what your white balance is set to?

[@ticotorres69]

Hi, thanks for this super great video. It was really helpful.

[@heyitslandry]

Great tips here, Becki!! Absolutely love shooting interiors, one of the ways I got my start in freelance photography haha. Y'all's home is looking too good!! 🙌

[@SidsDrakon]

Super amazing. You make it look so easy and flawless. Can't wait for the series to continue... I'm super pumped and gonna start stuff at my home. 😁

[@pirate-life]

This is great, I travel and stay a lot in airbnb's and I was thinking about making an "album" of these apartments, thx!

[@mojocosmetics]

A polarizer will take that glare off the floor. nice work, I'm glad you dont do window pulls.

[@annabellacastro]

so good tutorial! I also use the 16-35mm zeiss and it's a great lens, thanks ❤️

[@BeckiandChris]

It’s a fantastic lens, great quality and it’s super light!
