REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY TUTORIAL

[@karenedwards991]

Great job! you are awesome and very thorough at teaching. I have been a "people" photographer for years making people smile and look good but never saw it in this light. Thanks, this might be something I will pick up and try. Again, thanks

[@danbroomhall2059]

Dude, this video deserves a million views! Straight to the point and teaches you the whole process!

[@bravehearts868]

This is the best real estate photography video !!! Thank you ! Love your adorable cute grey kitty

[@jjqui5839]

Awesome fantastic explainer! Thank you for this consice and to the point video. Do you ever use flash if a room or hallway is dark?

[@שוהםרוקח-פ7פ]

I would appreciate your help. The video is very beautiful, but I don't see it in Lightroom stacking (5:36). Maybe the version has been upgraded and it is in another place. I would really like you to help me how to do this step, I must know. Thank you

[@MedySiregar]

Thank you... This is "all meat..!!" (a saying here in Indonesia telling that this is all solid knowledge). New subscriber here.. ☺

[@melyx6897]

This is the most simple and straightforward process I've sees. Period. You get a pretty good result for the least amount of effort. I do feel the itch to correct some of the color casts, though. But otherwise, this video is very helpful, thanks for showing your process!

[@blanchfromthebay]

Thank you 🙏 that was exactly the reason I made the video. I guess I could have gone more in-depth for the editing. But for strictly the process of shooting a house. I think people doing for the first time can watch this an nail the first job with some confidence

[@HazelsDreamland]

Hi! Recently started on my real estate photography. I also have A7R3 and Sigma 12-24mm. I was curious about that preset. Any way you can show us how to create it!? Thank you! 🙂

[@J_bar_S_Photography]

Hello. Question, I see you use a Sony? Awesome. I have the snowy a7r4. Yes I know it’s a lot of camera but I got the camera because I’m a rodeo photographer so yes, I need all those mp lol. Anyhow my question is do you shoot uncompressed raw or compressed? And do you even shoot in raw or jpg?

[@blanchfromthebay]

Hey! That’s a badass camera! And rodeo photography sounds super fun! I always make sure to shoot Raw for sure otherwise I won’t be able to edit in such detail if I shoot jpg. Uncompressed for better quality

[@J_bar_S_Photography]

@@blanchfromthebay Right on. Thank you. I have ask this question to so many other RE Photographers and your the first one to comment back on such a simple question. Thank you. But yes rodeo photography is a blast and i love it but its not making me any money. I know money isnt everything but i want my own business so sense my wife is a real estate agent i could get into RE photography. Im new to the whole RE Photography so ive been watching anyone that knows what there doing lol. Anyway, Sorry for this long thesis. Thank you for replying back.

[@Laura-sg6ss]

Love this!! I love the production on this, straight to the point and perfectly detailed. Great walk through. Perfect for me because i often find it hard to concentrate but this was perfect. Even the speak at which you were talking, normally i can't stand focused but with you, wow! Thank you so much! This has put me at ease and given me confidence that I can do this. Could you show us how to edit it, like the Beach preset thing you had. How did you do that?😂❤

[@blanchfromthebay]

Wow! Thank you so much! I’m stoked you feel confident after watching this because that was truly my intention when I made it. But yes I need to do a new video on my updated edit process. I learned a few things recently that took my photos to the next level. Thanks again!

[@Laura-sg6ss]

Hi, this is exactly the help I need to start doing real estate photography. This is very helpful. However I’m wondering if I’m the only one that sees the screen blurry or is it just the video that is like this? I want to mimic what he does in Lightroom, but a lot of the text is blurry or maybe you can make the video again? lol just thought I’d ask. ❤

Always raw for the edit process

[@haigazkeohulian2016]

What lense did u use? Is 24 105 mm good for real estate photography??

[@blanchfromthebay]

24 -105 works I used a 16-35 but you gotta be careful not to go to wide and get distortion.

[@germen.barroga]

Hey bro, Thank you for the tutorial! I have tried the merging method using LR Infused. But I'm getting an error in lightroom. Has this happened to you before?

[@blanchfromthebay]

Honestly I’ve never had any problems so I can’t really help you on that. You could merge the images with Lightroom’s own method an see if that works

[@dantdo]

I swear this is the best video ever! I'm gonna have my 1st RE shoot in 2 days and watching this makes me feel much more confident. Just a quick question, did you use the AF or MF? And how/where did you focus on? Thank you.

[@blanchfromthebay]

You can do either one. If you set that higher number aperture it is going to make everything in focus plus the stacking everything will be good, but generally auto focusing on the furniture or a wide setting I think works best.

[@blanchfromthebay]

Stoked you found my video! Go crush it!

[@mehatcher]

Awesome video! I was wondering if you can share your preset settings, or is it available for purchase?

[@blanchfromthebay]

Yeah I’m working on the preset pack

[@liverpix]

How many photos do you take of each room ? Also, have you tried using the auto hdr on your camera instead of bracketing ? Thanks.

[@blanchfromthebay]

I take as many angles as I feel needs to showcase what the room has to offer. And I feel it’s Best to just get as many angles as you think of on site and decide what to send later after the edits. As far as auto HDR.. I really just haven’t given it a try tbh. I learned the bracket style and just stuck with it. Next time I shoot maybe I’ll take a few an see what’s up. Thanks for the comment

[@liverpix]

@@blanchfromthebay Thank you. I just thought that by using in camera hdr, it could save you time as you won't have to blend them in lightroom.

[@coreychappelle3038]

[@blanchfromthebay]

🙏🙏🙏

[@sdhute]

What wide angle lens do you recommend ? What did you do to get the windows exposed correctly

[@blanchfromthebay]

I use a 16 to 35 variable zoom lens so I have options on the fly but the wider the better in my opinion (obviously you don’t want too much distortion) but for example I feel like a 24 might not be wide enough in some room situations. Plus you want the space to feel as spacious as possible.

[@blanchfromthebay]

To get the windows exposed correctly you take a few pictures at different exposures then merge the layers in post

[@aznomads1579]

A designer or high end client would twitch at the color casts everywhere. Good photos if charging under $75 a shoot, you can probably knock a ton of these out in a day. Thanks for vid.

[@blanchfromthebay]

Color casts everywhere?

[@aznomads1579]

​@@blanchfromthebay Sorry, I'm not sure if you're asking what color cast is or disagree with my statement. If you look at the thumbnail with the kitchen in the bathroom, there is a on of orange spill from the tungsten lights that is giving a huge color cast. 3:44 - There is color cast everywhere, a high end home owner/Realtor or interior designer would be upset because there is no way to tell the accurate color of the walls with all the color cast. Not knocking you at all, this is a great way to get started in real estate photography with very little cost and I'm sure you can knock out a house in 20 mins.

[@blanchfromthebay]

Oh I wasn’t disagreeing, just wondering what you meant. But I get what your saying now, this particular home had all different hue lights throughout the property. What would you do in that situation? Good news tho! This property was sold in under 2 weeks on the market.

[@panomaxstudio8454]

Az nomands I am not agry with you. Love Hdr and hate white flash. Hdr look nature and real and flash look unreal. I mean color cast. Thanks man Great Job blanchfromthebay.

[@anthonyk27]

I think you did a great job, and the photos look high quality

[@mr_robot911]

Great content Tony! Knew ur name from the lightroom account lol. One question, is the quantity of photos mentioned in the quote for the agent? If yes, how do you know the accurate number of photos a property would need before seeing it? Floor area maybe? Thanks in advance, ur the best!

[@blanchfromthebay]

You got me!! Anthony’s my government name lol, To be honest I never really talk about the number of photos. I take as many I need to showcase each room. Anywhere from like 1 to 3 shots per room. Once you figure a base price for yourself you can adjust the price higher or lower based on the size of the property/how many rooms and the editing time.

[@blanchfromthebay]

Hope that helps

[@artursradionovs9543]

How to deal with the rooms where the lights are amber color? Also, what to do the best for the places where people still living?

[@blanchfromthebay]

Honestly even the house I use for the Example has different lights throughout the house. I don’t “fake” anything. I shoot the property as is. It’s not my job to stage the house. I’ll do minor adjustments to clean up a shot. But for the most part I shoot the property as presented to me. I guess I could start bringing an array of lightbulbs tho lol I have thought about that

[@blanchfromthebay]

Also I could have dove deeper in the edit to balance to the two different color lights out a bit more

[@artursradionovs9543]

Looks like that I have to carry on a whole bag on me, flash, lenses filters and etc. I am just a new starter, and planning to buy a new camera.

​@@artursradionovs9543 This already is a big investment and not recommended as a newcomer... especially when you have to figure out how to get the money back.
