Hows it going

[@IsaacEllison]

Right?! Ive built a business with this

[@Euphigmius1]

I feel like I should have paid for this course. Outstanding information. I felt like I was in a professional class on shooting real estate photos. Thank you!

@euphigmius what’s the progress are you currently doing RE photography ?

I feel like this is the only video I need to start shooting real estate. Love how in depth you went!

[@kirkwilliams6520]

I think so too. No need to watch any other.

[@IsaacEllison]

Agreed! I reference it regularly and it constantly helps!!

[@BBond88]

My man, I’m a Realtor and I feel I got more information on photography in this FREE video than I did in 7 days of real estate classes. You leave real estate classes and then you start learning the actual business, I feel I just watched one video and I’m already brimming with confidence. I hope your business is thriving!

[@survivalSC]

Real Estate school is more about laws and buying and selling state laws. Not about taking pics of a house. Videos like this help RE Agents a lot if they don’t plan to hire a pro to take the pics and use the drone and all that. But I guess it depends on what kind of market you are in. Hope everything is going great with your RE business

[@Researchedthat]

I followed this tutorial very closely and successfully had my first real estate photo shoot. It was easy to follow. I’ve done everything, including the editing.

[@wymangentry]

That's awesome, congrats! Mike Burke definitely dropped some great knowledge in this video!!

Great information, thank you for creating this video. As a side note, if you don't have a remote, you can also set your camera's built-in timer to two seconds.

[@JTBurkard]

Thank you so much for this informative video. My wife is a RE agent and sometimes a property may not worth spending the money for a professional to come out (fixer upper) but she still wants quality photos vs something taken with a phone. I have been doing automotive photography for many years and this gave me the info I needed for camera settings, tripod height, etc. You have earned my subscription.

[@robbiefishing]

Mate this is amazing. Excellent work. Thank you so much. I have 2 real estate photo shoots booked this week. I have over 10 years experience as a magazine photographer, but this is my first real estate gig. I have been practising a lot the last few days, but some of your tips have been super helpful, particularly around camera height and composition. Thank you.

[@rhondamoore9842]

I’ve been photographing real estate for years now, so honestly I was just “video stalking” to see what you have to say. I’m impressed by the amount of information you shared in such a short video. I’ve found RE photography to be mostly about problem solving, and your video addresses many of those things - how to shoot in a cramped area, for example. If I can add one thing: I used to use those remotes like you do, but got tired of scrambling for a battery, or trying to find the darned thing! I bought a wired shutter trigger for my camera (FUJIFILM XT-4), so that it’s attached to the camera the whole time, and I don’t have to worry about accidentally losing it. I also photograph pets, especially for rescues, and the wired trigger allows me to interact with the pets, and still get a great shot!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Cheers! Thanks. And thanks for the tip about the remote!

[@CaseyLaarkamp]

I love doing landscape photography as a hobby, but it's very hard to make a living out of it, so I've been thinking a lot about getting into real estate photography so that my gear can start paying for itself. The information that was presented in this video is invaluable, especially as a fellow A7III user, and I feel like I am ready to start getting the ball rolling on making this into a living. You have a new subscriber. Thank you!

I'm about to do a real estate shoot for demo material tomorrow and I watched this video for tips. I think your approach was perfect for the beginning photographer.

[@jbail3p]

How did it go?

[@eoghansmith7833]

Great video. I've started out doing real estate photography, and whilst I'm pretty decent behind the camera, I have learnt quite a bit from this video. I'm now more confident capturing interiors. As an added bonus, I really pleased to see the tutorial on the use of creating HDR images using lightroom. I always use photoshop and it takes me an absolute age to create HDR files... so this video has be perfect. Thank you!

[@ruggedheartproductions]

I just shot my first home yesterday (the day before this comment) and I studied this video all before my shoot. I returned this video when it was time to edit it helped so much! Thank you for making this video. It was clutch!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Awesome, so glad to hear it helped you out!

[@revedioimaging7843]

regarding the focus delay when using the remote, I find that using back button focusing while composing the image to be more efficient. That way the camera doesn't try to hunt for focus at all when pressing the remote prior to firing.

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Revedio Imaging thanks for sharing!

[@tattoobillyvon9764]

I set focus to manual. I push auto focus on touch display, look at my peaking and fire off some brackets.

[@MustangGT715]

Thanks for sharing this tips! I was surprised you recommended using JPEGS instead of RAW images but the final images looked great!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Vinny S. Costa thanks! You certainly could use RAWs if you wanted to but for HDR There’s not much benefit there I think personally. And when you’re doing 5-6 shoots a day those large RAW file sizes start to add up!

[@villamimosa]

Hello Mike, I'm in the RE business in France. Actually as a future realtor, and I plan to produce stills and video as well. First many thanks for sharing your knowledge and know-how. So in return, let me share with you and others my recent experience. Yesterday I had a shooting session in an hotel for sale, and put in practice everything that you describe in your video. I noticed that it took me around 10 minutes per shoot, I stayed there 2 hours, so I have 12 photos. It was quite intensive, no time to relax. But it worked quite well. It took me a lot of time in editing because it's still a rookie in the editing software, but the result is very nice, and the customer is happy. What I did as well for every photo was to take one shoot in full automatic mode, no HDR, just to have a baseline, and measure the difference between a raw picture and a professionnal one. I compared as well with the photos taken by the customer. A big difference!

[@InsideRealEstatePhotography]

Hey Francois! Firstly, so glad to hear your shoot went well and your client was pleased! I'm happy to hear that I was able to help out in some way. Good idea about taking a reference photo! Also, thanks so much for sharing your experience with everyone. The more we share about our experiences the more we all learn from each other.

Shoot hand-held. Stick a speed light on the camera and point it to ceiling above and behind camera Set camera to manual and shoot RAW f6.3, 1/80th to 1/200th sec, and ISO320. Set flash to TTL+1.3. Even out exposure in Lightroom. That’s it, fast, easy, and great quality for MLS.

@@Jandodev not so in real estate. jpeg is much quicker to process as it’s a considerably smaller file. If you pay attention to keep the white balance correct by using kelvin, the images nearly perfect out of camera. For my personal work, yes, raw always.

Why does everyone seem to think they have to have something going in the background while they are talking?? I don’t get it! Maybe it’s because I was born analog in 1944?! Good job though, buddy on everything else…now if I can just apply it on to my Nikon D750 w/the Tokina Opera 16-28mm f2.8 …I’ll be happy! I’ll use my Nikon 20mm f1.8 for outdoors.
