If you've ever been annoyed at the UA-cam algorithm for a gross miscarriage of justice, not boosting quality content, that's precisely how I feel after watching this video. I did a double take when I checked out your sub count at the end, assuming you would be in the multiple 100k range. The production quality is up there with anything I've seen from other, more established channels and the content was clearly original and extremely helpful. Most strikingly, your delivery was exceptional. You're a natural on camera and your audio production does that justice. Subbing immediately.
You’re awesome! That’s very kind of you to say. I’m still relatively fresh to UA-cam but the channel is definitely growing. Feedback like this makes my day 🙂
@@MatthewAPhoto I agree - it's top quality content. But growth on YT usually takes time. The ones with 100k + subs have usually been at it for years. Often with little obvious results in the early years.
Really helpful Matt. I have my first design shoot coming up and you gave me a some insightful information. I just have to slow down and remember what you discussed.
INCREDIBLE. As an ex-global realtor turned (relatively successful) real estate photographer, I needed none of this wisdom before. That is until I got booked to shoot luxury kitchens at a much higher rate next week and now started dreaming about the Southern Coast of somewhere warm kitchen shoots to follow. While I can probably "wing it," no pro wants to do that. There was a ton of awesome advice in this video, and it is really appreciated. Thanks, Matt!!!
Amazing!!!! I had all these doubts and questions and was looking for answers and thankfully found this channel!!! It's one way, but now you are one of my mentors for this particular topic :) I am an architect myself and have Architectural & Interior Photography practice based in India.

I'm from Brazil and I live in Acre, in the Amazon. I discovered your channel and your tips have been fantastic. Here we still have channels with this level of excellence in teaching architectural and interior photography. Keep posting more and more content. A hug from Brazil.
Very helpful, I’ve started taking client now for real estate and interior designers. The difference and your explanation was so wonderful. Thank you! ☺️
Your videos are top notch and super informative! This one in particular is the one I definitely needed to watch, as I'm a real estate photographer transitioning into more architecture and interior design photos - I've been doing real estate content for 8 years and now work for an architect firm. You hit home when you said real estate photographers pride themselves on how quickly they can deliver images, and I was struggling with having to take my time with my first interior design shoots. Rather than fight it, I now know that I should embrace it. Thanks for your sound advice, looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Wow it’s very inspiring video! We are general contractor based in Denver and even if we are more “real estate” I still found those tips are incredibly useful 🖤
Very helpful videos Matthew. I have been a natural light guy for a long time but it is time to put on the big boy pants and get into off camera flash. Will be purchasing a Westcott FJ 400. (Profoto is a bit out of my budget). Your tutorials will be very helpful.
I 100% agreed that inspite of using flash light photo should look natural. Lighting should be 3D. Thanks for sharing valuable tips. Also the presentation is nice.
Great tips. After watching this video I've learnt a lot of important factors to keep in mind. Thank you Matthew for sharing such lovely contents. Love from India.
Great list Matthew-this might be your best video yet! Regarding the last tip, while I have yet to even attempt focus stacking, I think bit of shallower depth of field can look nice on interiors, provided the key elements are in focus. Of course, having it all in focus looks good too, but a bit of out of focus foreground is not nearly as egregious as having distorted lamps in the corner of your frame because you shot it too wide.
Another great video! However when Flash-Ambient blending is done right there should be no "FLASH LOOK" Either way following the natural direction of light would negate this. Absolutely agree with you for design and architecture. Mostly natural light w/ added light cleaning and depth shaping with light.
very helpful. do you still use a LF camera? I realize everyone has gone digital in commercial photography. A LF camera can address some of these focus issues. I guess that it depends on the architect. Some want that fine arts look? I guess that Julius Shulman pioneered using flash with natural light. But he used it sparingly and didn't overpower the ambient light. I call what you call architectural digest look. But that look is better than a light bounced on the ceiling. It's easy to talk about but very hard to do.
Tip #6 -- What to do if you need, say a photo of the entire kitchen but there isn't enough space to capture it with a longer focal length? I'm working with an interior designer, we were photographing a kitchen she had completed for a client. The kitchen was very wide but the space in general was a bit tight to get a 'hero' shot of the entire kitchen. I don't particularly like the look of wide angle lenses when the subject is too close, the distortion becomes very noticeable but in this case I needed to shoot at 16mm to capture the entire kitchen. What you you recommend in this case, when the space is not big enough to photograph from a distance that allows for a longer lens?
just shoot 9 or more pictures like square grid, then you can merge them in Lightroom or photoshop via panoramic merge cut scraps and edit. super simple you will find that on yt.
Would you recommend tethering? I'm just learning through an online course of interior photography by Studio Muk and she has a shapter on tethering with Capture One. Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
Yes I highly recommend tethering. Whether it’s a phone, iPad, or laptop…tethering is a great way to check the quality of your exposures as you’re shooting.
Very interesting Matthew. I'd not really give too much thought to the preference for longer focal lengths for some types of interior photography and the impact on depth of field. Do you ever resort to focus stacking?

Excellent video. I’m an architect and this is all true. 24mm totally agree. Designers will absolutely hate flambient style images
Very helpful list of considerations! Thank you!
Very wise words. All of them. It’s good to have a refresh like this; the focus f#$k-up gremlin is always waiting to pounce! Thank you Matthew
This has gotta be one of the best content for interior design photography! Thanks alot for the tips!

Super helpful ideas to consider. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Perfect explanation🙌
Really good video man. Just got my first assignment as a photographer in this unknown photography area and thus really helped me out!
This was extremely helpful, thank you!
Matt, you should have atleast 100k subscribers. Interesting information, good video quality. Love ur works, thank you!
Much appreciated! Thank you for the kind words. I am still pretty fresh to the whole UA-cam thing though 😉
Thanks a lot for this helpful video!

Super helpfull!! Thank you for sharing your experience!😊
Love it. I've made mistakes on #7 several times
Thanks Matthew!
Regardless of DOF , what's your go-to technique to have everything in focus ? Specifically for large areas.
It's a really good Tips for me... thanks

I agree 100%. I’ve done the occasional shot with more of an artsy look at f2.8. Clients love those kind of images too.
Keep going. Thank you for your valuable lessons and videos. ☺
Good Stuff Matthew!
Fantastic Video Matt, learned a lot! Thank you
Love it ❤ thanks very much
I'm baffled by the fact this quality content only got 24k views 😳
Super helpful. Thank. you, sir.
Thank you Matthew; so very helpful. Do you always use flash on interiors,
Nope. For example the kitchen image at 3:30 was 100% ambient light. No flash used on that one.
really good list. I mainly shoot RE but have done a few builder shoots. It was a lot slower and way different than a RE shoot.
Another great video! However when Flash-Ambient blending is done right there should be no "FLASH LOOK" Either way following the natural direction of light would negate this.

Huge help
So in that case will you recommend RF 24-70 2.8 or 15-35 ? Thanks
Love your content😍
Does everything have to be in focus (no bokeh stuff here)? What F stop do you use? is it like in real estate; 7ish.
I think oversharpened doesn't help either
Flambient photo - flat photo
Do examples of when to remove light please
He showed one in the video...

Hey Matthew will 50mm would work for the this type of potography?
Yes 👍
Very interesting Matthew. I'd not really give too much thought to the preference for longer focal lengths for some types of interior photography and the impact on depth of field. Do you ever resort to focus stacking?
Yes. Every now and then. That’s what I did in the image at 9:48
@@MatthewAPhoto Doh! Missed you saying that!
Thank you for the info
Really great tips! I recently found your channel and I love that you share your expertise with us
Instead of focus stacking using hyperfocal distance
Thank you.
Thanks you
