Living Room + Dining Area Tutorial - Photographing & Editing

[@venzwhittmer]

My dream is so simple, meet you, achieve shoot and edit like you man. I still have a long way to go, but thanks to your videos that I learned a lot and honestly helped me land a job. Thank you man.

Hi Matthew, thanks for taking the time and explaining your workflow when shooting this type of spaces. It gives me comfort when I see other photographers "overshooting" to have all the tools at hand when doing post. Inspiring content!

[@yunuscelik9808]

I can not thank you enough for the things I have learned from your videos . This is literally the best content on youtube . Thank you a ton !

[@jedahxfilms]

okay now im binging your videos, dude this was awesome

[@meditationstorytime]

Great content. I love the way you take us through your thought process rather than just pure technique. It's a healthy mix of both. Instant subscriber here mate, cheers!

[@propertyonephotography5722]

Thank you, Matthew, for this and many other tutorials you have recorded. My main area of photography is corporate architecture, decorators, some real estate and corporate events. Your photographing and processing methods mirror how I was trained. After seeing your process and hearing your thoughts, I am affirmed that I am on a good track even though it all takes time to create a finished image. I have picked up some great finer points and will work on integrating them into my workflow. I am subscribed and will keep watching for this great content.

[@parkstreet2359]

Both the image and the explanation are beautifully done. Fine work on both.

[@kennethjonesphotography]

Extremely interesting, particularly with regard to the layering development. Much appreciated.👍

[@Denis_Vatokatov]

I realised that I need a lil fill light right/left camera for this type of shots. When all frame is dark and we using flash pops to light some areas - its little bit heavier later in post to combine, even in lighten mode. So I think better to have some fill light, no such extreme dark/light areas. Thank you Matt, for your videos

[@jordanashley9534]

Another great one man!

[@oliviertorres8001]

Great job. Thank you for showing our future customers the gap between professionnal photographer workflow versus Meero approach (30 mn - 10 photos - IA post processing). Not the same price but really not the same result (actually the same impact for viewers). Warmly, thank you.

[@damerlasudhir]

Fantastic! Thanks you for the video! Sometime I wonder if I'm taking things too far with the light, but videos like this help me understand that this is the one way to in complex situations!

[@keugenek]

Thank you so much for such quality videos, they inspire! I thought I suck at my approach of retouching and taking interior photos, and also thought I am very slow during shooting itself by making too many bracket photos e t.c.. Now I see that I actually going the correct way.

[@FranHoganPanama]

Thank you! I am a real estate photographer and appreciate you sharing your procedures AND explanations!

[@si.sivish]

Thanks Matthew

[@LaszloMag]

Good stuff mate! I can see you've walked down the same path as me - dj and real estate photographer :) Keep up the great work!

[@vanodyssey1659]

SO MUCH INFO IN THIS VIDEO!

[@DanielWoodyPhoto]

Really appreciate your videos, Matthew! Always cool to see the details of how someone else works, and how they approach challenges.

[@MatthewAPhoto]

Thanks Daniel! I sincerely appreciate that

[@rodrigollopisg.9774]

Hey Matthew!,! great work btw! I always watch your videos days before a photoshoot, I love your style. I wonder if you can make a video about details and vintage shoots, I have my way to do it but I feel it is not the best way to create a high level of it. Thank you so much!

[@Papparratzi]

Great example of what takes to get the money shot.

[@tylerdangfilms]

Hi Matt, love your videos and been learning a ton. Was just curious as to how you did the fake wall creation to hide the fan ?

[@mandytoh6471]

Hi Matthew, thank you for sharing these great videos. They are really helpful to see how you shoot and edit your images. I have a question, how do you balance the white balance in post for these ambient shots and those flash shots? When shooting do you use AWB for both ambient and flash shots? BTW, I have subscribed to your channel.

[@fabiofieri854]

hi, very nice shot! sorry i don´t understand (it s my photoshop understanding problem) how can you use the third level (over the 96.arw and 97.arw whitout a mask. The same thing occurs many times in your levels..can you explain me please? the use of lighten mode is something that i want to try! thanks

[@vishweshwarkandalgaonkar4620]

You are master 😊

[@rogerthompson2005]

HI again, do you find the godox AD400 has enough power? The 600 is on my list, but is much larger!! thanks

[@mikesaunders7497]

Yet another great video Matthew! Thank you so much, your videos are some of the most informative around for me as a RE tog trying to learn and develop into an interiors/archi tog. When you cleaned up the walls of colour casts, did you use the same technique you describe in your video on white walls? Thanks again! :)

[@MatthewAPhoto]

Yep! Same technique to clean up the white walls 👍

[@epectase6314]

Hi Matthew, what is one flash you would recommend for someone starting to get his feet wet into architectural photography? something not too expensive preferably for a starter. thks a lot

[@net200777]

yo man. How do you deal with bounce flashing from colored walls and ceilings as well as wood

[@GorgeMedia]

I gotta ask, and sorry if you’ve brought it up already in another video, but why are you shooting in jpegs over raws? Love your work man, been binge watching a lot lol.

[@MatthewAPhoto]

I don't shoot in JPEGs. I shoot w/ RAW files. I edit the RAW files in Lightroom, then export to Photoshop as JPEGs

[@GorgeMedia]

@@MatthewAPhoto ahhhh gotcha! Thanks amigo

[@MightyOff1ine]

didnt you say 3 month ago bouncing from the ceiling "looks off". Good you know better now, if you mix it with ambient it is awesome!

[@MatthewAPhoto]

If the final image is left to look like the whole thing was lit solely with bounced ceiling light...yes it most definitely looks off.

[@tomfraser3086]

Magic......no, hard work

[@jg_jgjg]

What I learned: I need to grow in my photoshop skills

[@MatthewAPhoto]

All learned over several years my friend. Most photoshop skills aquired at the university of KZbin

[@carolcomer1731]

My God, I hope you charged $3000 for that one photo with all your time spent taking one shot and then editing it???

[@morganmurdock2546]

I know you had to do it because the client requested it, but I am really not a fan of the practice of Photoshopping out true elements of the space (like the speaker and can lights) just to make the image look a little simpler. That's going too far in my opinion.

[@Papparratzi]

I’m thinking that this is an occupied residence, and the builder requested the shoot after the owner added things that weren’t originally there.

[@parkstreet2359]

Being in business means pleasing your client.
