How to Photograph a House in 30 Minutes - Real Estate Photography 101

[@krubee416]

I’m looking at all of the whining for the free information that you gave…homie we appreciate you! Been at it for 5 years now and you still gave me a few gems and reminders. Thanks! Add music, remove music, shoot with flash, shoot with HDR, I prefer a different method. FFS photographers can be more annoying that our worst customers

[@JonathanCorbett]

No lies detected. 😂

[@p.burley4533]

As a fellow RE photog., I can say this is a NECESSARY tutorial. You managed to include a lot of vital details that establish best practices. Two things. I would, however, champion the geared head. In my experiences with the pistol grip and ball head, you are responsible for pan, tilt, and roll all at once. Trying to line up your grid with those aspect can eat up your time. With a geared head, it’s one aspect at a time but faster, and faster still if body & lens didn’t budge in transport around the room (almost never happens even with a good tripod). Second, I am careful to shoot rooms with only a sliver of the third wall. Otherwise, the room looks like a hallway. I might extend that short wall to include a full window/door frame for perspective. All in all, I wish I had this tutorial four years ago! Sage advice. P.S.: what do you think about flambient? I like color correction before post.

[@JonathanCorbett]

Great tips! I think flambient is a great technique for architectural photography that requires a very specific look, but if you're doing real estate photography and are trying to scale it, flambient is not the way to go. It causes slower shooting times, causes challenges with editing/outsourcing, requires more equipment, more training, etc. If you have clients who are willing to pay for all that extra consideration, it's great. If you are doing shoots for a few hundred bucks, not worth it.

[@SeubertMedia]

I think this is the best real estate photography video I have seen so far. I almost skipped watching it because it was about the basics, but I picked up some great tips and received better explanations of why certain things are done. Thank you!

[@JonathanCorbett]

Thanks I really appreciate that! Exactly what I'm trying to do.

Amazing 🎉 information

[@JonathanCorbett]

Thanks, I hope it’s helpful!

[@budzeg_zeg]

First of all, thank you for taking the time and energy to make and share this video! Your shots look stunning! I was wondering if you could share some info on how you got such great lighting without flash or some other light source? I’ve got an older cannon (EOS Rebel T2i) and my pictures kinda look yellowish (even with flash). I must however say that they are definitely better with the settings you advised at the start fo the video. Would you advise I simply get a newer gear? Thank you!🙏🏽

[@JonathanCorbett]

I don’t think new gear will solve your problem. Make sure your white balance is set correctly and also make sure your white balance doesn’t have any custom settings to lean warm.

[@azppmd]

I don't photograph real estate, but this is a great video packed full of valuable practical information. Love the EFFICIENCY of this method.

How are you keeping the white blinds with the dark window exposures for the windows when not using a flash for window pulls?

[@JonathanCorbett]

Making a selection through luminosity masks is a good way to get this selection without having to use the pen tool. I’ve got a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZTSeGWGpL2mkMUsi=NZLYopJE7Fl7kjv1

[@anonymouse7074]

Been a real estate photographer for a few years now, HDR in-and-out of the average house in under an hour. Overseas editor manual blend for cents. No one's ever complained about quality.

[@anonymouse7074]

In fact, I have a full flambient setup that I bought with my camera, but I have no idea how to use it, and to this day can't justify learning it or the time vs hdr. I don't take million dollar home photos for magazines.

[@JonathanCorbett]

If you did you still wouldn’t need flambient. 👍

[@anonymouse7074]

I occasional $1m+ homes I photograph are usually contemporary, neutral palette, bright big windows. No need for flash. Flash would be good in a dark toned basement, but you'd be surprised how good my long exposure photos look.

[@MrHarryeisenstein]

Great video! Thanks for posting. Question: Shooting hand held at high ISO doesn’t cause problems with your bracketed shots lining up?

[@JonathanCorbett]

Not as long as your shutter speed is fast enough! Lots of real estate photographers shoot handheld. (I prefer tripod indoors personally but to each his own).

[@AranzamendiPodcast]

Where do you focus when shooting interiors? Something around the middle of the room? The walls? (I know this can change depending on the room, but I was just wondering what the best practice is here.) Thank you!

[@JonathanCorbett]

I like to focus anywhere in the middle to the back of the room, but at f8 you can almost set your focus point anywhere and still get everything in focus. 👍

I have all gear except a drone. I know you didn't really cover drone in this video but I'm curious if i should overreach a bit to get a drone before i get started. I know I'm a complete beginner but I feel like I'm going to miss out on even basic properties because drone is so popular.

[@JonathanCorbett]

Yes drone will help you for sure, but you can get a drone for pretty cheap these days. Check out my video “the best gear for real estate photographers” and see if there’s something around the house you can sell and pay for the drone. I do the same thing still. 😂

[@NeonShores]

@JonathanCorbett yeah my issue is I don't want to buy something that I'd feel like I need to upgrade fairly quickly. So a Mini Pro 4 might be in the cards, as long as DJI doesn't get banned 😕. Also watching your other videos, just finished the podcast about getting started and it's a lot of good info. Enjoying the channel so far 🙂

[@JonathanCorbett]

I will look into that. Thanks for letting me know!

[@Occamification]

Thanks - Super useful to an early stage full-time REP! One question though, why do you use the viewfinder in preference to the screen? I usually try to maximise the view of each room by backing right into a corner and usually end up contorted and looking at the screen - you seem much more comfortable shooting further into the room? I use a Canon 11-24EF lens on an R6MkII BTW.

[@JonathanCorbett]

I’m an old fashioned pure bread photographer at heart. I can’t bring myself to stop using the viewfinder. 😂 But yes backing up and using a longer focal length would improve the distortion slightly.

[@echowhisper99]

Hi Jonathan. Great video as always! Two quick questions if I may: 1. Regarding hand-holding and bumping the ISO up to something like 1600, this makes sense and something I do struggle with is situations in which using the tripod just really isn't physically practical. But the obvious (at least I think) question is, do you not worry about the noise factor? 2. Your bracketing settings are interesting and not something I've heard before. But right now I'm a Nikon guy but am considering a switch to Sony. As far as I can tell (and through conferring with ChatGPT) only Canon offers the option to customize your bracketing settings in uneven increments like that. Do you happen to know of a workaround? Thank you!

[@JonathanCorbett]

Thanks for watching! 1. Noise is only a significant issue when a photo is underexposed and corrected in post. At 1600 iso with modern sensors, a properly exposed frame won’t have noticeable noise. 2. I wouldn’t take what ChatGPT says to the bank. It tends to offer information that isn’t correct for very specific questions like that. I’m afraid if Sony and Nikon can’t adjust the brackets I won’t know a work around besides buying Canon. That’s the kind of thing you’re going to run into a lot.

[@sndwise7903]

Sony will allow bracketing (currently using A7iv and A7siii), but Jonathan's Cannon photos are so good it makes me second guess my Sony :)!!

[@kelvinhammond7341]

I've been doing this for 30 years... so I'll give you a tip: get a camera with a tilt screen. All that twisting yourself into a pretzel to see the back of your camera is going to blow out a disk in your neck, causing you to have a neck fusion surgery.... like many of us 50-60 yr olds have had. You won't notice it until the day it blows out.

[@JonathanCorbett]

My R6 has a tilt screen I just don’t use it. 😂 I will now though!

[@kelvinhammond7341]

Well, I was comparing notes, or maybe scars on my neck with Arnie Freytag about a decade ago. I asked him why he was shooting on one of those tripod benches, I don’t know if they still make them anymore, but it looked like a workout bench with a tripod mounted at the end of it. And he said it was because he had to have his neck fused from all that crunching his neck, shooting people over the years. And I’m like me too.

[@joelstuart873]

Great advice, but I have a question. How do you expose the shots...do you ever use hdr? Thank you

[@JonathanCorbett]

Checkout @11:41 in the video. 👍

[@jonathangoote6237]

good video for the most part and the edits looked really good from what I could tell. I shoot about 200 homes a year and use flash and do my own edits and want to expand however every time I try HDR and outsource something happens and it takes 3 days to get the photos and there not the same quality that I edit. I constantly get videos like in my SM making it look so easy just outsource, but I think my clients like that my pics look a different and not over edited. Shooting vacant listings is the dream but in reality the sellers a lot of times are going to be there with their pets, I shoot vacant all the time and boxes and stuff is left around. I schedule time in my shoots for the unexpected and I really think that is my competiive edge over the BIG BOYS as I won't complain about moving a box or helping an old lady who's husband just past move some stuff around.

Nice video. I wish i had something like this to watch when i got started. Do you have recommendations for editors? I use the same gear and just about the same settings but I still haven't found a decent editor.

[@JonathanCorbett]

I can make a video on this if you want! For now, the only way to find a good editor is doing the legwork and reaching out to *dozens or hundreds* of them with an editing test. I would do this on an email account that isn’t important to you. Have requirements so you can eliminate them in the subject line, then cut them down from there. The next phase is holding them accountable to their word. You cannot be a westerner when you work with outsourced by trying to be “understanding and open minded”, thats just bad business to them. Be very strict and withhold payment everytkme they make a mistake until they get that you’re not messing around. I know that’s annoying to do, but it’s worth it for a good editor you can rely on. Since you’re doing this legwork, it’s best to find a single guy you can work with directly. That way you know there is no middle man taking all the money.

[@hiresmedia]

@@JonathanCorbett Thank you for the reply. Great advice, and a few things I've taken away that I didn't consider. I think I lost my patiences with outsourced editors because I get busy and think I might as well have done it myself. I guess in order to take on more work and grow my business I think that perseverance finding a good editor would pay off. There's only so many hours in the day. I'd be interested to watch a video to see your perspective for sure. 🤙

Great Video! Really learned a lot. Definitely going to rewatch and take notes. I do have a personal gear dilemma I'm hoping you can help me with; I might be over thinking it but, I own Panasonic S5II and would like to pair it with a wide lens. There are two lens that I have my eye on. 1: Panasonic 16-45 f4 and 2: Sigma 14-24 f2.8. Both similarly priced on the used market. My dilemma stems from using CPL filers etc. The sigma lens, while wider, has a protruding lens that doesn't allow for filters. Would it be best to go for the 16-35 that I can put a filters on or go for the wider 14-28 lens?

[@Happyfingcampers]

Can you recommend an entry level that's a little more affordable.

[@JonathanCorbett]

Yes I can! I did a good video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZuakoSHptZ8mJYsi=s0Z-1JwrVgbvVqpw

[@rizo15]

I use my drone for all of my exterior shots. It allows me to get the camera into areas I otherwise just wouldn’t feasibly be able to. Do you see any issues with this?

[@JonathanCorbett]

I do this sometimes as well. 😂 I don't see any issue with it but I would make sure not to get in the habit of including shots the drone can only take for free. Over time, you will inevitably have more repair costs as mistakes happen and branches get hit, but yeah using the drone for all exteriors is totally doable.

[@CoreyGibson]

Great into. 99 percent of my shoots are multi million dollar homes, so I have to deploy the flash and do all my own editing. But, I can charge more, so I guess it works out. I do have a client (Pulte homes) that will give me a list of 5-10 homes next to each other a couple of times a month. I try and speed through these shoots as fast as possible. I may consider shooting like you talk about in your video for these homes if I start drowning.

Like the video. I ahoot handheld for everything at (normally) 800 ISO. I've never had any issues with the software not being able to align the images. I do my own editing, so maybe that makes a difference.

[@cecilhudgins6569]

I've shot some RE photography and I am amazed that you don't use any flash and you don't seem to have problems with dark areas, color cast for lights or different colors of light for outside and inside. How is this possible?

[@cyberjet2004]

[@Philonic]

He uses exposure bracketing. You have your camera take 3 shots automatically. 1 overexposed, 1 correct, and 1 underexposed (for window pulls) and then HDR merge them together in Lightroom. It’s really fast and easy.

[@JonathanCorbett]

Flash and bracketed can both be done wrong or right. I’ve seen flash that looks incredible and flash that looks worse than any over baked HDR I’ve ever seen, it all depends on the shooter and editor. The process for getting quality bracketed hdr involves handblended layers with large, feathered selections to get the best results. And you need to know how to handle color casts. But if you know how to do those things your results can look great no matter what! Would you like me to do a video on it?

[@JonathanCorbett]

Lightroom HDR looks really rough. 😕

[@cecilhudgins6569]

@@Philonic I have used exposure bracketing many times and I understand what it accomplishes but that alone can’t overcome the numerous color problems with incandescent/led and outside lighting. I assume there is some magic in post production to overcome this.

[@hotwireman49]

How come you don't use lights. I started in real estate photography back in about 2015 and did it for several years but technology marches on and I haven't been doing it for quite a long time. Matter of fact I'm in nursing school right now. I'm wondering what's changed that nobody uses lights anymore. Are you doing hdr?

[@JonathanCorbett]

Lights slow down the process a LOT and also cripples your scaling capabilities by requiring more training and time with employees. We do bracketed shots and have them handblended in post.

[@whatthefitt]

@@JonathanCorbett Newbie here. What do you mean by hand blended? Is it merging the 3 bracketed shots into one HDR image?

[@JonathanCorbett]

@ yes that’s correct. There’s a few ways to combine the images into one. You don’t want it done automatically, you want it handblended manually.

[@plimm1]

[@JonathanCorbett]

Thanks!

[@funkyboogiee]

I've shot over 1,200 houses (mostly) in the ATL area on my APS-c Fuji Xt4 w/ their wonderful 10-24mm. at the moment due to an employer request, I'm switching to either Nikon Z6ii (or z6iii which is overkill for only real estate work), along with their compact and very nice Nikkor Z 14-30 f4. I also today looked at the Cannon R6ii and Cannon RF 14-35 f4. i really got use to the articulating screen my Fuji has so that rules out the Nikkon z6ii for only that reason - if it becomes a bottom line factor. Otherwise, Z6ii is a perfectly fine camera for REP. If I didn't need to switch, I wouldn't even be looking around at the moment. ah well. The very cheapest option is the oldest Z6ii and their lens. older Cannon body and used lens also not far off. The newest model and lens even used is still just under 3k all-in. we all know what I want to do. ughhh.... what a pain to switch it all when it's not even necessary other than for certain policy.

[@DustinCox-u1o]

As a RE photographer I always use a tripod inside and out. You talked about keeping the shots level on the exterior and yet you are hand holding the camera. To ensure you have a level shot use the tripod outside as well. It saves you and your editors time adjusting your horizon.

[@JonathanCorbett]

Me and my employees get level shots handheld. Also keeps the tripod clean. Just turn the grid on in your viewfinder. 👍

[@KewBlinkla]

Genuinely wondering - are these how the photos look when you send to clients? I find some real estate photography has a feeling to it and some looks well…. Like this. Flat. Just photo and done. It’s not bad, but I wonder if it’s just a style? What do we really think clients prefer? I can only think of my personal perspective - if a photo is warm, natural, and not so edited looking it feels inviting. These photos to me feel like they’re for a rental company. Just done efficiently

[@JonathanCorbett]

Yes the "look" for real estate photography does err on the "washed out" side. When delivering several shoots a day, the more color there is the more clients complain based off their perception of the color. We find clients are happier the less color their is to complain about. This isn't how I would do my own photography but it's what the industry prefers.

[@m77ast]

thanks. Ok so you don’t need any extra lights / modifiers since you are bracketing up. I Imagined that the aperture priority will affect it as it’s going to keep the image at standard exposure. Sounds like that does not happen.

[@cyberjet2004]

its my big struggle that i over shoot. its cause i over think. this house you shot it would have been between 50 and 60 shots and i know its too much but i have the fear that my shots wont show the flow correctly if i do less. Being like that means i have no life. i work monday to monday. i dont get time for the family or go to friends or have a day off. I just work. the editing is the death of me. I get constant burn outs and to that point where i get suicidal . thats when i book myself out so i can just catch up. i work 400 hours a month and live in constant anxiety due to constant deadlines.

[@Philonic]

Talk to your clients about how many pictures they want/typically use. I had a client tell me they’ll never use more than about 25 photos. Keeping that in mind has helped me cut down how many I take by a lot. You want just enough pictures to make someone want to go tour the house, you don’t need enough that they can see every nook and cranny. If you’re still struggling, work on your compositions. You may be taking too many because you’re not setting up the correct composition the first time. Good luck!

[@JonathanCorbett]

Yeah man that’s no way to do this. Sounds like you would do this in any venture you tried because you’re trying to do a good job, but you are overdoing it. Force yourself to follow a strict shot list and SET A TIME LIMIT to force yourself to work inside that window. You’ll shoot better! Also don’t shoot with flash, it’s overkill for this kind of work.

[@HomeSightStudios]

I find it strange that lots of your images don't have a colour temp true the room? Instead you go for the flat white look, common amongst real-estate photographers? They also look like you've employed the so called flambient technique? Finally, how do you get >$200 a year? Agents in the UK seem to think that £100-£200 a shoot is fair pay, which usually includes a floor plan creation, and aerial images. I'd love to know how I can earn the money you do.

[@JonathanCorbett]

Yes removing color casts in images is common. If I were doing the photos for me I probably wouldn’t make it quite as flat looking, but this kind of look is popular with clients so we give the clients what they like. We use all natural light bracketing. No flash here! Just got to blend the images correctly. I’ve not worked in the UK but I do know it’s just harder to make money there as regulations and economy just don’t favor small business and entrepreneurs as much as the US. I lived in Europe as a student for over a year and that was one of the big differences I noticed.

I agree with a lot however, there is zero benefit going from an R6 to a Mark II. Full frame is absolutely beneficial. With Canon an R or RP are more than enough and half the price of a Mark II. Id rather 2 R's than a Mark II.

[@JonathanCorbett]

Yes this is the “Pro” kit I recommend. If you’re looking for maximum functionality for smallest investment, I’d recommend the SL3. Here’s my complete gear kit: kit.co/JonathanCorbett

[@Jmaurophoto]

Main problem = HDR. You must use supplied light (flash) to avoid unwanted shadows, especially when taking photos toward windows, and better control of color. The best quality comes from using a combination of supplied light (flash) and available light, commonly referred to as "flambient." It takes longer, but the quality is superior to HDR. It's the difference between quantity and quality.

[@JonathanCorbett]

The main advantage is bracketing and hand blending. This way you get great results and move through the house quickly. Faster, high quality, easier to learn, easier to scale, etc. Flambient should only be used if a client is willing to pay the extra time, cost, and skill it takes to do it. If a client isn’t willing to pay extra for it, then they really don’t care. 👍

I don’t really think it matters that the video is a little bit longer than what it’s teaching us to do. We wouldn’t have clicked on it if we knew how to do it in that span of time.

@@JonathanCorbettA lot! You are such a great teacher! Thank you|

No flash…. Hard no…. HDR photos suck compared to flash / flambient….. go learn to use flash son…… night and day difference….

[@Mr0erick0]

Then you need a new editor.

@@Mr0erick0there’s nothing to edit in hdr son…. My 11 yr old could edit hdr lmao….. that’s the problem these days….clueless , lazy ass people…. Trying to make money by doing nothing…. Aka hdr :)

I love flash and can do it very well! But I don’t do it for real estate. Flash can deliver better results if done correctly, but it requires a much longer workflow and has lots of disadvantages: 1. Longer shooting times 2. Fewer editors that can do it well 3. More expensive to outsource 4. Harder to train employees 5. Clients don’t care.

@ nah… it doesn’t take longer you clearly don’t know what you’re doing…. Yeah, my $10 million house clients do care. I guess you’re shooting two bedroom rentals.
