It’s always good look back at our old work to realize how much you’ve improved over the years. I often do that, I’m not where I like to be but I have definitely improved from when I started..

[@CarlosGarcia-yg9je]

Alex, thank you for your wealth of information for us commercial photographers in real estate multi media.

Haven’t I seen this house on a walkthrough tutorial recently

[@henryduncan8966]

This video is quite helpful, looking back and giving a critique on the shots taken. That is helpful for a beginning Real Estate photographer not quite sure what what details to look for when shooting a property. I will review this and others for my own benefit. Thanks a lot

[@markeussaeuley8607]

Alex man love the transparency on your channel , good luck goin forwards and congrats on 136k gross year revenue ! 🙏🏿

[@shanecoleman7864]

Subscribed! Thanks for the transparency. None of us want to suck in the beginning but its a necessary step for learning.

[@PhotographyPX]

Niceeeee. Very motivating lol.

[@gabequezada2066]

Alex.. What kinds of contracts do you recommend to give to clients that lays out payment structure and other details that you used? As well, what is a website style that you also recommend?

[@mpmandeep9]

Great video ! Do you have any recommendations for new cameras that are decently priced ?

[@Anon_FPV]

i just found an old hard-drive with some of my first RE photography, i feel bad for those agents, they should have known better🤮

[@edgarsebastianmartinez5068]

Awesome video! Great to see your progression. Im an actor and I’m wanting to start this as a side hustle until I grow it as a business. How do you go about paying taxes? Do you have an LLC or do you freelance? Would love a video on these topics. Thanks and be safe!

[@thedronemediacomvancouver4976]

Great videos. Why did you switch from real-estate agent to photographer?

[@photoguy1169]

And I’m trying to find (but it does seem impossible) of a how to shoot in a small town , no mansions just regular small windowed with crappy ambient light situations. Never would it work ambient only no matter how much hdr you throw at it. All I find on you tube and, and yes I know these video are most of your income now and very lucrative, and Kudos to all of you but can’t any one show rural American homes to help a guy out. I have winter 5 month of the year and not a lot of million dollar all window all painted white videos who couldn’t shoot that? see what I’m saying? Sure I learned about Flambient blending techniques but you guys seem to be able to do 3 to 5 homes a day, it took me 3 hours to shoot a 4 bedroom right out of the gate, bad direct Sun, all colored walls with only a 24-70 on a full frame Sony……helllllp I’m sick of searching LOL

[@ScottOwens28]

Are you editing in Adobe LR Classic or just LR?

[@dimicool7072]

nice vid

[@youmarc11]

Don't feel bad. At least you got paid on the first one. I didn't :)

[@JeepTJWheelin]

This was great and extremely helpful. I just got a Lumix G85 and DJI Ronin SC. Did the firmware updates for the body and lens. The kit is a 12-60mm and when possible, I'll upgrade to either a 7-14mm or 8-18mm lens. Can you offer any advice on video and photo settings for shoots? You have definitely come a long way in five years, congrats. I wish I had left tv prod much sooner to pursue real estate. Better late than never, I suppose.

Thanks for sharing your first photos. Hope you didn't use those as showcase photos on your web site. 😂
