Your explanations and tutorials are INCREDIBLE!! I am a novice and honestly get overwhelmed by all this but your tutorial actually gave me a sense of courage and “I can do this” attitude. Thank you for all you shared
Love to hear "NO FLASH" in the first living room photos! The natural look is the desire even when flashed! HOORAY! Could not agree more about the difference between the builder's view choices vs. the designer's view choices.
For myself having clients on the shoot stifles creativity for several reasons I won't get into, and two clients on a shoot is definitely 'too many cooks in the kitchen'. I'm all for having notes from clients before the shoot in terms of anything that they want to see.
Even if it's only one or two such scenarios? For example the unique features of this house is it's amazing living room and state of the art kitchen, if they want 2 different style of photos and you have the ability to take them in the time you have and it doesn't violate your contract why not do it?
Fantastic video, and I really love the contrasting perspectives demonstrated. I’d like to start using my iPad Pro Pro with my AD600 and I was wondering which case do you use for your iPad? I’m having difficulty finding one that makes it possible to hit the capture button on the iPad while simultaneously holding the flash in my other hand.
I agree, shooting at longer focal length just compresses the elements. I'm still shooting 35mm format, so when I can I will switch the 45mm ts-e and composite as opposed to shoot with the 24mm ts-e
No shooting at longer focal lengths does not "compress the elements." The distance from camera to the subject is what "compresses" the elements in a scene/changes the perspective. For practical purposes all that changing focal length does is change the field of view.
Well technically you're not wrong, except in practical purposes when we say shooting at longer focal lengths we are talking about shooting the same subject/composition of elements and hence field of view. I mean why would I suggest changing the field of view/composition.
@@GallantLee You said "shooting at longer focal length just compresses the elements" which is incorrect. Moving the camera back away from the scene is what compresses elements. I'm just on a crusade to dispel the myth that longer focal lengths compress the scene.
I'm just starting in photography (literally bought my camera last Friday) and I'm trying to focus in Architecture Photography. Your videos are helping a lot, but I would like to know if any of your paid contents provide a general and/or beginner step by step to shoot great photos like these.
Matthew, thank you so much for the wonderful content. I've been in business for quite some time, but I still find many things I could learn and improve. May be you you could do video one day about dealing with barrel distortion and how to correct it. I dont shoot wide angle and I see your settings on your edits, mine a pretty much the same. My lense is 24-70, i try to stay in between 35 and 55, yet I still see a tiny bit of barrell effects on the very edges. I would love to see an expert advise on this, if possible. Is it the particular lense that may be not as good as the other? My settings? I usually have to fight this issue in lightroom and play with manual distortion setting under the Lense correction, but it is not always a good result. Thank you so much for any help.
Everything looks great. You make super videos. Curious if there's a reason you merge visible layers so frequently in PS. Doesn't that just increase your file size lots without needing to? I usually will add new adjustment layers on top of each other without merging visible layers in between. Would love to know if the two methods produce different results
When you merge layers that decreases the file size. On the bottom left change it from document dimensions to document size and you can see it for yourself.
Hey there, thanks for the insightful video! Question for ya, is there a reason you edit your photos in PS rather than LrC? As far as I can tell, those edits can be done in LrC..curious if I'm missing something. Thanks!!
I do use Lightroom. It does most of the heavy lifting but then use photoshop to fine tune and blend/composite exposures. It’s just the workflow I’m used to.
Hi mathew ! New subscriber here i love your videos ! ❤ Wondering if you would/could do a "critique subscribers photos" i would love to send you my toughest shots and have your insights on how you wouldve solved my problems and how to make the photo better. I am looking for you to really tear it apart 😂 Please and thank you 🙏
Your explanations and tutorials are INCREDIBLE!! I am a novice and honestly get overwhelmed by all this but your tutorial actually gave me a sense of courage and “I can do this” attitude. Thank you for all you shared
those bonus shots though!!!
Beautiful home. You did it justice!!

I mean, ultimately if you're shooting architecture the larger the sensor the better for perspective/distortion control.

So this was a one exposure shot? You didn't combine multiple exposures right?

Hi, can you recommend any interior design photographers in LA?
Do you ever use a color checker in an initial shot for color?
Not really. I use a grey card sometimes for white balance but that’s about it.
