Right?! Ive built a business with this

[@Euphigmius1]

I feel like I should have paid for this course. Outstanding information. I felt like I was in a professional class on shooting real estate photos. Thank you!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Thanks! 😊

[@josefmadrid]

@euphigmius what’s the progress are you currently doing RE photography ?

[@thejasonrk]

with an ad playing every min you did lol. I have watched 5 ads already..

[@joetyler4017]

I feel like this is the only video I need to start shooting real estate. Love how in depth you went!

[@kirkwilliams6520]

I think so too. No need to watch any other.

[@IsaacEllison]

Agreed! I reference it regularly and it constantly helps!!

[@BBond88]

My man, I’m a Realtor and I feel I got more information on photography in this FREE video than I did in 7 days of real estate classes. You leave real estate classes and then you start learning the actual business, I feel I just watched one video and I’m already brimming with confidence. I hope your business is thriving!

[@survivalSC]

Real Estate school is more about laws and buying and selling state laws. Not about taking pics of a house. Videos like this help RE Agents a lot if they don’t plan to hire a pro to take the pics and use the drone and all that. But I guess it depends on what kind of market you are in. Hope everything is going great with your RE business

[@mrcpaceo]

I followed this tutorial very closely and successfully had my first real estate photo shoot. It was easy to follow. I’ve done everything, including the editing.

[@VentusMedia]

I'm a videographer and drone operator who doesn't shoot many stills. A client just dropped an interior stills shoot on me, the night before my main job. So here i am, fully armed, ready to slay it with my A7rii thanks to you. NGL I was panicking... Cheers!!

[@hueandsteve1989]

So, I've been a real estate agent for 17 years & though I'm good with electronics, I always keep a camera on auto. I forced myself to use your method described in this video exactly. Wow, I can't stop looking at my photos & my client is so happy. Thank you for sharing & being so clear.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Awesome! So glad to hear it!!

[@valniles6100]

Great information, thank you for creating this video. As a side note, if you don't have a remote, you can also set your camera's built-in timer to two seconds.

[@javierrzrd]

I'm just starting with Real Estate Photos and must say that YOU ARE A GOD! My results had a 180 degree change without having to buy any equipment. Just change in the process. Many thanks!

[@whoevenknows762]

This makes me think I could try and get into real estate photography now! I've struggled with how I could use my photography to earn extra money or do something to earn back what I spend on it and this was a great help to me!

[@jcam783]

Excellent tips , not something I've ever done , but was just recently asked by a Real Estate agent ,who happens to be a relative of mine , to shoot a home she is showing . After watching this ,I can tell its not just about waltzing in and out , this takes some serious know how . Thank you for sharing this .

[@TanNguyen-bk7br]

I can't wait for you to produce a course, I'd buy it in a heartbeat

[@oamkaar]

Honestly one of the best resources. I never do real estate, mostly products but a friend asked me to help her out. This has given me the confidence that I can get a good output.

Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial video.

[@JTBurkard]

Thank you so much for this informative video. My wife is a RE agent and sometimes a property may not worth spending the money for a professional to come out (fixer upper) but she still wants quality photos vs something taken with a phone. I have been doing automotive photography for many years and this gave me the info I needed for camera settings, tripod height, etc. You have earned my subscription.

[@brookejennett532]

Thank you so much for this video! I have a digital certificate in photography and I have some experience with product photography, but I was thinking about getting into real estate photography and I have learned so much from this tutorial. I believe I learned more from you than I did when I was taking photography classes. I am so grateful of the detail-oriented, step by step tutorial and the demonstrations you have provided here.

[@villamimosa]

Hello Mike, I'm in the RE business in France. Actually as a future realtor, and I plan to produce stills and video as well. First many thanks for sharing your knowledge and know-how. So in return, let me share with you and others my recent experience. Yesterday I had a shooting session in an hotel for sale, and put in practice everything that you describe in your video. I noticed that it took me around 10 minutes per shoot, I stayed there 2 hours, so I have 12 photos. It was quite intensive, no time to relax. But it worked quite well. It took me a lot of time in editing because it's still a rookie in the editing software, but the result is very nice, and the customer is happy. What I did as well for every photo was to take one shoot in full automatic mode, no HDR, just to have a baseline, and measure the difference between a raw picture and a professionnal one. I compared as well with the photos taken by the customer. A big difference!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hey Francois! Firstly, so glad to hear your shoot went well and your client was pleased! I'm happy to hear that I was able to help out in some way. Good idea about taking a reference photo! Also, thanks so much for sharing your experience with everyone. The more we share about our experiences the more we all learn from each other.

[@robbiefishing]

Mate this is amazing. Excellent work. Thank you so much. I have 2 real estate photo shoots booked this week. I have over 10 years experience as a magazine photographer, but this is my first real estate gig. I have been practising a lot the last few days, but some of your tips have been super helpful, particularly around camera height and composition. Thank you.

[@eoghansmith7833]

Great video. I've started out doing real estate photography, and whilst I'm pretty decent behind the camera, I have learnt quite a bit from this video. I'm now more confident capturing interiors. As an added bonus, I really pleased to see the tutorial on the use of creating HDR images using lightroom. I always use photoshop and it takes me an absolute age to create HDR files... so this video has be perfect. Thank you!

[@rhondamoore9842]

I’ve been photographing real estate for years now, so honestly I was just “video stalking” to see what you have to say. I’m impressed by the amount of information you shared in such a short video. I’ve found RE photography to be mostly about problem solving, and your video addresses many of those things - how to shoot in a cramped area, for example. If I can add one thing: I used to use those remotes like you do, but got tired of scrambling for a battery, or trying to find the darned thing! I bought a wired shutter trigger for my camera (FUJIFILM XT-4), so that it’s attached to the camera the whole time, and I don’t have to worry about accidentally losing it. I also photograph pets, especially for rescues, and the wired trigger allows me to interact with the pets, and still get a great shot!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Cheers! Thanks. And thanks for the tip about the remote!

[@MrRamonlv]

A tutorial video on Lightroom Classic would be amazing. Love your videos, they’re incredibly helpful.

[@revedioimaging7843]

regarding the focus delay when using the remote, I find that using back button focusing while composing the image to be more efficient. That way the camera doesn't try to hunt for focus at all when pressing the remote prior to firing.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

[@tattoobillyvon9764]

I set focus to manual. I push auto focus on touch display, look at my peaking and fire off some brackets.

How did it go?

[@MustangGT715]

Thanks for sharing this tips! I was surprised you recommended using JPEGS instead of RAW images but the final images looked great!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Vinny S. Costa thanks! You certainly could use RAWs if you wanted to but for HDR There’s not much benefit there I think personally. And when you’re doing 5-6 shoots a day those large RAW file sizes start to add up!

[@bankflows1186]

Finding this video with the exact camera I have is a dream come true

[@charlesludwig9173]

Shoot hand-held. Stick a speed light on the camera and point it to ceiling above and behind camera Set camera to manual and shoot RAW f6.3, 1/80th to 1/200th sec, and ISO320. Set flash to TTL+1.3. Even out exposure in Lightroom. That’s it, fast, easy, and great quality for MLS.

I agree with everything in this video, except that you always...Always should shoot RAW, not JPG. There is much more data in RAW files that you can adjust it much more than a jpeg file.

[@aristepp680]

@@Jandodev not so in real estate. jpeg is much quicker to process as it’s a considerably smaller file. If you pay attention to keep the white balance correct by using kelvin, the images nearly perfect out of camera. For my personal work, yes, raw always.
