Kitchen Photography Tutorial - Photographing & Editing

[@samdub]

Hey dude we don't feel like you're rambling at all, you seem to have the great skill of giving us just the right amount of information without going too deep. It’s easy to loose an audience, and at the end of the day your teaching us with these videos so we need to certain the information, and you do this great Thanks man!

[@thadtaylor]

Thank you for a great video!

[@Marrakechphotographer]

Your content is great, and you've done excellent work for photographers. I would love to see more content about photographing in harsh light, specifically when the light comes from large or small windows, and how to get a clean photo in such conditions

Hi Matthew! I’ve been a lifestyle photographer for a long time but recently encountered a client with multiple furniture brands. I found your channel on KZbin to learn more on interior & architecture photography & found so many of your videos very helpful! My main struggle now shooting interior subjects is the nature of the spaces I’ve been asked to shoot - mostly showrooms that need to look like they are actual homes, or condominiums with very little space to move back & avoid distortions. Would you have tips on how to shoot full room shots when there is very little space? Thank you in advance!

[@LIFEOFDRO_]

Absolutely underrated channel. Just subbed and can’t wait for you to blow up!!!!

[@epectase6314]

great video thank you, love those long edits

[@Dudewheresmybike]

6.2k views and I think i'm at least 5k of them. I keep coming back to this video and your other editing ones to really try to dial in these looks you are able to achieve. Your videos are definitely not a "watch and forget" type video. You definitely have to keep rewatching to absorb everything possible. I check youtube daily to see if youve come out with any more lol. Hopefully some more on the horizon soon.

Dude... I enjoy these videos

[@eyeconikmedia2058]

another great video! thank you again for sharing!

[@hawksilver5883]

thank you so much！great video！

[@genegustafson715]

In all the years I have been in photography, and all the types of photography I have done, A&D has always been the genre I have worked towards. Having a remodeler for a client now, these vids have been VERY helpful to identify the differences between "real estate" and A&D photography. Not only in shooting methods, but in editing. Thanks !

[@justink7667]

Very well presented, succinct non-rambling walk-through and breakdown

[@nwestmac]

Been watching a lot of your videos today. Great series! One quick question: some of these interior shots feature fancy prominent lighting, but you often don’t have the lights on in your images. I have been doing this kind of work a long time and know how frustrating electric lighting can become. But sometimes this lighting is a major design element that was carefully chosen by the designer or builder. It would be interesting to see how you approach a request to have the lighting fixtures turned on and how to manage the challenges?

I've been piecing videos together over the years trying to learn the ins and outs of certain photography styles. You do beautifully explaining and putting together these videos; it's helped me tie up a lot of loose ends that I'd been searching for/never knew about. Keep inspiring man!👏

[@jamescalandrino7997]

Great video, great teaching. Really love your channel and videos, keep it up!

[@simranmalik4303]

super helpful!!!thank you so much

[@si.sivish]

Thank you Matthew ❤❤

[@cjsebes]

You're definitely not rambling. My only suggestion would be to do a few on-off cycles for each layer you talk about so we can more clearly see the difference between the before and after. But keep up the great tutorials. Many thanks!

[@JewelsFlowers]

Thank you Matthew, and yes I love all the detail. No rambling here. This is absolutely the time for shop talk. :) A lot of things I am already doing but found some tweaks to those that I like and also found some new things to try. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@photos-fera7392]

Wonderful video man! Great work!

[@jordanashley9534]

Another awesome tutorial man! Keep ‘em coming!

[@samshep70]

I like to use layer mode hue to fix the colour on cabinet doors.

[@PeeGeeTips]

What’s the workflow there when fixing colour casts? Haven’t heard of using a hue layer for those corrections

[@sinaasgari4516]

Yay another great video! 😊

[@denisl1071]

Thank you Matthew, could you please tell what the exposure settings were for the abmient, the flash for stove and the flash for the tabletop?

[@hashieb8765]

I'm new to photography and not necessarily in the interiors space but this was really informative and well explained.

[@hashieb8765]

Just watched until the end, I don't think you're rambling at all

[@russellkPhoto]

Love the Tutorials Matthew. Excellent work

[@kuzmanator]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate you sharing your process and workflow, these tips are really useful as I try and learn how to streamline my editing process.

[@MatthewAPhoto]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@lastdooropen8413]

I missed what you had your white balance set to on your camera. What do you do for white balance on most shoots? Auto white balance or pick a specific WB? I feel like the flash pops throw off the AWB??

[@mikesaunders7497]

Another great video, learning so much from your tutorials, thanks again!!

[@careyrook5364]

Hi Matthew, I must say, as someone who is new to Real Estate Photography (flash ambient blending) this was a bit overwhelming to say the least. I hope to someday be where you are and do appreciate your videos and the content you provide. Thank you.

[@ohaidere]

Nice start to finish overview!

[@MatthewAPhoto]

Thank you sir 🙂

[@BStephensonn]

Hey Matthew, can i ask what settings your shooting your flash at in the space? I'm just curious to know how much power you're putting into these shots. - Thanks

[@sebastianbraggaar9726]

I have been taking portraits for 7 years, and want to start my endeavour in interior design photography as a side hustle… I’m learning a lot from your videos, so truly: thank you! 🙏🏼 Would love to connect eventually!

[@vanodyssey1659]

Whwn you were adjusting the horizontals manually, do you not do this in the final image, as if you do each shot individually they won't line up?

[@lastdooropen8413]

When do we know when to use normal blend mode and when to use lighten?? Sometimes when I’m blending I get weird blue or yellow spots in the blend. Can you help??

[@rogerthompson2005]

great video thanks! Just found your channel after watching your Mike Kelly interview! That was great too thanks! I enjoy watching others processes. Roughly how long did that image take to edit? Also, if you were to shoot that at 35mm, are you using the 24mm TSE lens with the 1.4x converter to get 35mm? cheers from Melbourne AUS!

[@ymmurciano]

great video!

[@nerosetsfire]

How long from start to finish? And the big question is how much?

[@vladpierre2694]

Why work so much with actually light rather then adjusting light in post.. are post tools bad? Like shadow brush etc? Also why did you insist on removing absolutely any light from coming from behind or the hallway? Does that make a big difference? (anyone can answer, thanks)

You're representing a 3D scenario in a 2D medium. Shadows add dimension and threedimensionality to your 2D image, so it's easier to interpret. Shadows must be in a place where you're camera can see them, that's why the perfect light is lateral or coming towards the camera. Besides that, usually the eye looks at the foreground in the first place and then at the brightest part of the image (this is because of our ancient brain always trying to survive). So if your foreground is darker and your background lighter, you create a kind of path that your eye must follow, making your image dynamic and interesting to look at, not a flat and boring image. I always think about my drawing lessons when I was just a kid. When drawing a cube, it wasn't "a cube, a 3D object", until you added shadows to it. And you had to add shadows to the visible faces of the cube, not to the ones you couldn't see from the perspective of your drawing simply because you couldn't. When shooting a space, if you can't see shadows because they're behind the furniture, it won't be "a 3D space" as your cube wasn't a "3D object". So your brain will have to make an extra effort to understand what's it looking at, to make a 3D space from something it doesn't look like it because there isn't shadows in it. And you don't want that because neuroscience have demonstrated that the brain is quite lazy and you don't want it to work more when interpreting your images. Good composition, light and color are what make a good image just because is made for the brain to enjoy understanding it at first sight. This was studied for centuries even before Photography was invented. I hope I explained myself correctly, English is not my first language =) IG @sergio.lopez.photo

[@nomadicsoulart]

I don’t understand what color fx can do which photoshop can’t .

[@wouter9287]

Great video I learned a lot from! Maybe one suggestion: to cancel the background music, it's a bit of distraction

[@seaone_lee]

could you share your psd file to us？Matthew?you are the best teacher in interior photography😁

[@prawdzikproperties]

Very overwhelming

[@meditationstorytime]

Rambling? Absolutely not! In fact, I'm sure a lot of us here would enjoy it if you "rambled" even more! Feel free :)

[@colt24]

Great video!
