In this video we will be covering my process in capturing twilight interiors for a luxury home in Las Vegas. Join me as we discuss the process and things to be aware of as we capture and edit these photos to achieve quality images that our clients can use for marketing.
When I got into commercial photography years ago, I always wished to be a fly on the wall, observing the photography process during scouting previews by other photographers. Now you can join me behind the scenes on my latest commercial photography interior design scouting day. I'll be previewing my client's work on constructing this luxurious home from the ground up, as well as the beautiful interior design of the spaces within the house he created in this luxury home inside the Summit Club, Las Vegas.
No matter what type of photography genre you are in you will constantly be faced with challenges that require you to use a creative approach to deliver quality photos to your client. In this video we will be covering different challenges I encountered during a luxury real estate shoot in Las Vegas:
1. A mixed lighting situation for a money shot showcasing the views from the home.
2. We will also talk about using the natural light and compositing your image so that the viewer's attention will not be wandering around the photo.
3. This home's rear yard was still under construction but we still need to be creative in how we compose and edit the photo to still deliver a photo that the client can use to market the property.
In this image breakdown I cover 2 types of aerial twilights which can be applied for real estate photography or commercial. The first image is a mixed lighting scenario which requires a lot more editing in lightroom and photoshop to achieve the desired results and the 2nd image is a consistent lighting scenario allowing for a faster process in editing.
Even as a professional we all eventually will make mistakes in our photography career. In this video I wanted to share with you a recent mistake I made on a client luxury real estate shoot where I missed a pillow not positioned correctly on a chair and all my photos had that pillow fallen over. I can't go reshoot and had to figure out a way to fix the problem to still deliver a quality photo to my client. Hopefully this video can help you to slow down on your shoots to take your time and if a mistake does happen to look at all the variables to fix that solution. End of the day what matters when we make a mistake is that we learn from it to grow as a professional.
We will also be covering my approach to shooting a twilight front Money shot of a home and how using the fake tilt shift effect can help draw the viewers eye into the areas of the photo we want rather than to an unwanted area.
In real estate photography twilight photos are a key component to marketing a home. Twilight photos can capture the mood, lighting and brilliance of a home compared to the daytime photo but sometimes we as photographers need to use additional lighting to really showcase the home in its best light. Join me as we break down this edit of shooting a twilight photo of the house front using supplemental lighting and editing it in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
Join me on this video as we breakdown my shooting and editing approach to deal with flat and mixed lighting conditions by using flash to give the light you create a justified motivated direction to enhance the color, texture and mood of the composition.
Join me on this video as we breakdown my shooting and editing approach to lighting a backyard house during twilights, removing your camera and tripod when dealing with mirrors and finally just taking the time to experiment even in your own home to continuously better and improve your skill sets.
The "Batman House"! Join me on another image breakdown as we cover twilight photography of a beautiful home I photographed here in Las Vegas. Watch and see why I've called this the Batman house!
One of the challenges we face when sharing photos to social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook is dealing with horizontal photos in vertical stories, it never looks good because there is so much empty space above and below the image due to the vertical format. I want to share with you my approach as to how I tackle this problem when sharing my images to stories on Instagram and Facebook.
In the photography industry related to architecture, interiors and luxury real estate, having a direction and flow in your process will help you to tackle some of the various spaces and compositions you will encounter. I wanted to take the time to review some of my own images to help you understand my approach when photographing and lighting my compositions using off camera flash. Hopefully you can find some good points that can help you in your own photography journey. What I say isn't the rule but just my own approach on how I see a scene and capture it.
