"Moody" Photos Using Darken Blend Mode in Photoshop - Interior Design Photography Tutorial

[@ArminHirmer]

great explained, I guess I got out now :) I need PS now, tried to avoid it and hoped I can do all in LR or Capture One...

This is amazing! I'd love to see more tutorials covering your post process like this. I've been learning real estate-style photography to capture recording studios and have found that a lot of the traditional RE techniques leave studios looking too bright and sterile. I'd be particularly interested in any tips you might have for photographing rooms with almost NO natural light. A lot of the spaces I have to photograph are lit by nothing more than LED puck lights in the ceilings 🙃

Matthew, this is awesome, and I’ll be using this. Thank you! Another excellent video.

This is an amazing resource

In the uk we have ever changing light conditions cos of cloudy overheads. Would you recommend shooting when the sun is in or out?

[@steveh8658]

Thanks Matthew, that was informative. I like your style! The only distracting thing to me is the painting that looks like it's supposed to be a horizontal landscape! Lol!

[@htexas78]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Quick question, is there a reason you do color correction and straighten your verticals first? Can this be done after the work? clone stamp the layers in PS and then do the corrections?

Dude, crushing it!

[@robingattiphotography]

I am curious what lens you used for this? It's such a lovely shot!

[@Ancaja123]

How often would you say you use this techinique?

[@antonilin586]

What do you call this black sheet that you are holding? How do I google it? Blackout drapery/cloth? I need the same thing for my photography to carry with me so that it has to be compact

[@MatthewAPhoto]

Just a black plastic sheeting you can find at hardware stores. Nothing fancy

Hey Matthew, I‘m curious about your take on color. I noticed that your color profile is Adobe color, which isn’t the greatest in representing true color. Also wouldn’t it be possible to fire one flash shot, to get accurate color and then combine the flash/color layer with your final ambient layer in luminosity mode (with some masking). I would imagine you could get the best of two worlds. Your moody ambient shot + accurate color?

[@MatthewAPhoto]

Hasn’t really ever been an issue for me. Adobe color seems to work fairly well and/or more importantly…seems to work fairly well for my clients 🤷‍♂️

Hi Matthew. Can you make Video with Tilt shift panoramas with 24 tilt shift. I have seen the work of other photographers and they use this focal length to minimize distortion and make beautiful panoramas.

[@MatthewAPhoto]

I don’t really use my tilt shift lenses to stitch panoramas together very often. I wouldn’t be a good person to teach others how to do it 🫤

[@tommyjohn4968]

I think the before looked better! But thanks for the tutorial

[@dylanfgarrison]

Great video! Now if only your verticals were correct in your talking head shots ;).

Going out on a limb but…CAN I BE YOUR ASSISTANT?! 🙏🏽 I’m from Kansas City and an architecture student at Cornell, but I’ve taken a serious interest in architectural photography and would love to learn from you.

I dont mean it to be harsh, because i like the pedagogy and all the stuff you do for comminity, but dont you think this is a lot of work for a curve a blenif and a mask in photoshop. I mean all the time you spend with the sheets etc could be very closely done in post prod within a minute or 2. I understand the tutorial side and some exemple may be more relevant with more direct light coming from the wrong side but here i feel for the end result just a bit of curves (or levels or whatever you are confortable with in photoshop) would do exactly the same end result.
