Of all of your videos I've watched Nathan, this is the one I've been searching for. It addresses exactly where I am in my REP journey, so all of these points answer my questions. Add to that, I respect your work, knowledge, and professional ethics based on your information and examples, along with your video style that doesn't talk down to anyone, and encourages new photographers to do their best work. Thanks so much - for this one, in particular.

Realtors need to understand the difference in work that's involved with lighting a property versus shooting a naturally lit one.

Great video Nathan, I agree with you 100%. Hard work, passion and patience pay off. There is an old saying : "If you see great mountain on your trail, don't look for a walkaround.Just climb it. It may take some time and effort, but you'll be rewarded with the great view".

Amen!! There are no short cuts to success regardless of occupation or profession. Great video.

[Aegieon]

Major pay cut to start doing this. I had enough of Hospital Administration and want to do something that makes ME happy. Thank you for the video & look forward to the class.

I have enjoyed photography for many years and will be retiring in the next 15 - 24 months. Real Estate photography is something that I have strongly considered and after watching this video, I know that is what I want to do. I have time to perfect my craft so I am ready to start once retirement comes. Great video. Thank you.

I like automotive photography, been doin it for years but It’s never been clients just whatever I found so I wanna do real estate cause I need the business side to balance the art side of it

Can I assume your online course teaches the flambient method of taking real estate photos? Won't many agents be okay with HDR photos and not want to pay extra for flambient photos? Does flambient apply to videos of homes as well or just photos? I have 3 of your books but have not read them yet...

[BofusTV]

So I’m getting into REP but I’m not comfortable doing flambient yet.. do you think it’s ok for me to start with HDR then switch to flambient once I get better? I’ve been trying to do both while at jobs but my HDR are always better right now.. maybe because I’m not flashing the rooms correctly but I’m not sure

The PhotoScholar has spoken, pay attention!

[noellucas]

Very interesting video. Can you speak about new computer and screens you recommend for 2023. Thank you.

What are your thoughts on a full time realtor picking up real estate photography as a secondary income?

[KennethPelczar]

Hi Nathan - Thank you as always for the videos. I wonder what you use/recommend for gear transport i.e. cases, lighting kit bags tripod case etc., so that you have all you need but you're not traveling around with a cumbersome bunch of factory bags or trying to put your gear into cases/bags that dont quite work. Do you have any content that would point to this or maybe could be a good video topic? Thanks!

[Emarie]

I just started looking into this as a career change. This is probably a complete Newbie question, but…what camera do you recommend for beginners?

[whatdeheck]

Can people not charge similar for HDR and flash ambient, if flash ambient can be faster ? Then, you get quality work and a good price, right? Or is that unrealistic.

[PiliLinares]

I have experience as an architectural photographer, but I've been in the United States for a month now, and I'd like to know what you think about starting to work through photography agencies for real estate agents, and thank U for your video and tips :)
