    Great video. I shot a friend's house recently. Free, and he knew it was my first time. I was terrible. He wisely got a pro. But I learned a lot doing it. Reassuring to see that a lot of the things I tracked for "in the future" line up almost exactly with what you've said here. Sure, theory is one thing, execution is another, but I think I'd deliver a much better product next time.

    Great video! For real estate photography & video, using the Sony A7iii, would you recommend the 16-35mm f/2.8 or f/4? Big price difference.

    You nailed it. As a beginner, I am spending my time watching courses, and you, with a 6-7 min video answered to most of my questions. Very well prepared, ticking all the boxes straight to the point. I feel more confident now. 😀

    Well done – Thanks!

  15. Gary Peck says

    super helpful video but please speak slower and kill the music track.

  16. Patrick .R says

    Hey, thank you! One quest…do you use tethered capture? I know LR has this feature but I typically use Capture1.

  17. Ben Griffiths says

    Great video, quick talking / sample shots really kept my attention 👍👍👍

  18. Geraldo Telo says

    Please talk slower, keep that in your mind…

  19. George Horn says

    Curious if you find yourself really using the ability to open up to f/2.8 all that often with the 16-35 v III? I suspect you open up to 2.8 more for your video walk throughs when needed in darker rooms? Curious what your thoughts are on going with the 16-35 f/4 at a much better price point? I guess I'm just struggling to justify that extra $1000 for that 2.8 stop, and if it really saves the day all that often with your shoots. Looking to buy one or the other.. Thanks for the time you spend on your videos. Great material.

    Great video 👍🏼 I’ve been a Real Estate photographer for a few years. Have a flash with you at all times. Why? Because some homes you will shoot may not have electricity and bathrooms and closets will be difficult. I combine flash and ambient shots as layers in photoshop for the most part. Take your time at the beginning, try different angles and photo techniques till you find what works best. Get your post processing workflow down to a reasonable amount of time otherwise you are losing money. Attend open houses and speak directly to realtors to market your services. Please make sure there is no one there since you don’t want to interfere with their work. Let them know why you are there, don’t mislead by asking to look at the house. Bring your portfolio on an iPad or tablet to show them. Bring business cards! Do charge extra for twilight shoots, any drone work, sky replacement etc. Don’t forget pool and landscape businesses need photos also 👍🏼

    Hi, I am an architectural photographer with 20 years experience in the UK shooting new build properties & show homes. I use Canon EOS 6Dmk 2 and my lens of choice is a 17mm TS-E f4.0 L – if you are serious about architecture photography then a tilt shift lens is the best investment. It allows you to keep the camera high to see down on worktops & sofas but get rid of the ceiling whilst keeping the camera level. F8 all the way, also use a geared head on your tripod to make mice adjustments (the 6dmk2 has a built in level finder on both axis) and for me the 26mp is plenty, I shoot at 50ISO & F8 unless doing the cameo’s (detailed specification images of fixtures and fittings) then I will use the 24-105 at the longer end @ f4 :0) Great video guide and you can get away with using just a wide angle, but if you want to up you professionalism you will need to invest in a TS-E lens.

    I'm an interior design photographer here in Toronto, I've been shooting or over 15 years. I stumbled upon your video and I must say it's very informative for someone that is just learning and wants a good starting point. Well done!

  38. Mary Beth Sutter Photography says

    Do you ever use a tilt-shift lens and if so, which one? I also use a Canon 5D III.

  39. Fold Under Before Sealing says

    What do you do with a bathroom and gigantic mirror with that tripod?
