Great informative video! I’m just starting out in architectural photography and this is super helpful. Thanks so much!

You do have a good point about HDR and images that perhaps don't look "realistic" but I also tend to keep in mind that it also can be a creative choice too and I think that's what's partially the fun part about photography. Many people say will say things like "my images show you what I saw through the viewfinder" but I think some people also take this too literally. What we "see" can have different meanings as Im sure most experienced photographers know, so even though I may see a pretty flat scene literally, in my mind, I may see a super saturated scene. Of course, where I think most people have a problem with such types of HDR is when someone passes it off as natural or out of the camera or both. There is creative HDR and there is realistic HDR.

Would love to see a vid on off camera flash. Thanks for this vid, I learned some new things.

[AndreiRestrepo]

So good! We edit HDR images really similar! I’d be interested in the flash / ambient tutorial. Great job man!

[lisavanggg]

That guided transform tip! 👌 Thank-you! Just getting into real estate photography & this video was all around 🔥.

If you haven't already I would love to see a video explaining more about how you use your OCF for interiors. I'm currently using a flambient method but feel like it is taking me WAY to long to shoot a property. I would love to see more of your on-site workflow.

Hey thanks Taylor, you kept it simple and less time consuming. Many videos show very time consuming techniques which when factored in with all the other work involved in shooting real estate seem to make it less profitable too.

Excellent! I'm making my way into real estate photography, struggling with lighting, so this helps big time! Love your examples! Beautiful and crisp! I subscribed because of this video. Thank you and please keep making content!

Thank you YouTube algorithm for pointing me to this channel.
Definitely do a tutorial on using flash like you mentioned at the end of the vid for large spaces (just watched your vid from the hotel room with flash).

Smashed the like and subscribe! 👊

[MoveWIthMendoza]

Suuuuper helpful!! That dropper tool was like magic!

[erraezcreative]

Love love LOVE your content!! Thank you for sharing with us your tips and tricks. My question for you is what steps did you initially take when starting real estate photography? I'm currently in design school and I'm more drawn to photography. I've been photographing for a few years now as a hobby so it's nothing new to me. I just don't know where and how to start.

[maciejbogusz]

Yes please! Tutorial for off camera flash! Great job Taylor.

[maogranada]

This has been the most informative video on real estate editing.. thank you !

[SplatrKing]

I usually use a cooling filter in photoshop but this def works too, thanks.

[pensadenos]

you for showing how to white balance a white room. I've always used Luminar-3 but I get a slight yellow tint. Not much you can tell until you compare it side by side with one that I did your way. The eyedropper in Lightroom apparently works the same way in Luminar 3 with the Temperature adjustments. When placing the finished work side by side I was both surprised and excited over how the white room with black accents looked. Thank you for your video!

[jvstn]

Great tutorial -- I never understood why so many people like the overly stylized HDR look that seems dominant in real estate photography. Do you know if this same process can be done with 5 bracket HDR (-4, -2, 0 +2, +4)?

[Powerstroke]

I have Photoshop Elements, and Lightroom (not Classic) and never use them, as I have come to the conclusion to not 'rent' software! I prefer Luminar (bought and paid for, along with it's updates) doing all that's needed, but thankfully, there are other choices out there these days as well, that can do the job without 'renting' the software as Adobe does. Thanks for the tips as well.

[cristophernolasco]

good video man for HDR. The only thing I suggest is, especially for a view home like this is to use your flash as a layer to get the views

[Misterdavidc]

I’d totally appreciate an off camera flash for real estate tutorial
