Real Estate Photography In a FLASH

Descripción

Real estate photography is a very unique genre of photography. It requires a special set of skills at the shoot as well as during post-processing. We don't often acquire this set of skills from shooting or editing any other genres of photography. ​This course is specifically designed to provide the skills needed to produce high quality real estate photographs with the beginner real estate photographer in mind. This course is packed with over 2 hours of video covering the HOW and the WHY of real estate photography. We begin with the absolute basics by talking about essential gear. We then move on to composition rules for real estate photography and how they help to achieve our goal. After that, we move on to a sample photoshoot. We walk through each room in detail, taking several angles of each room. Post-processing, or editing, is where the real magic happens. It can be a complex process for beginners who are new to Photoshop and Lightroom, but we break each step down into easy-to-understand parts so that even total newcomers can get comfortable in the workflow. All topics are covered in extreme detail, perfect for beginners! • The goals of real estate photography • Basic gear and how to prepare it • Flash gear and how it works • Composition rules • The techniques to produce high quality images • Proper exposure settings • Achieving correct color balance • Window views • Setting up Lightroom and Photoshop • Understanding editing workflow • Making your images "pop!" • Exposure blending with layer masks • Removing "color casts" • Aligning verticals • Exporting your photos for MLS You should have a basic understanding of general photography before beginning this course, although it is not required.
