My spouse is a real estate agent in the Valencia, Spain area. Having retired here over a year ago, I am have been helping her with Real Estate support services. This includes photography, virtual tours, etc. While I had some basic knowledge of photography, I quickly realized shooting houses is a lot different than taking nice snapshots at the beach! Thank goodness I found your video. I really, really like your style of presentation and explanation. Also, I appreciate how in depth you went with this. I feel inspired and with a little more practice I might be confident in taking this up as a side hustle! Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your thoughts and experience!
Mike, 2nd year already going full on with photography. Thank you so much for your help man! Have been following you for quite some time! Keep it up and stay strong!
I applied for Global Entry on Tuesday, was conditionally approved the next day, and I’m scheduled for my interview 5 days later. So 7 days! I guess mine went quicker because I already had pre check, plus I recently retired from a civilian DoD job which required me to have Secret clearance. I had full FBI in depth investigations to maintain that job.
I have been working in film in Canada for a few years now. It has been terrible to put it lightly. I was SO lost and had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I was ready to give up... Then I was told to check out real estate photography. I knew nothing... I now feel ready to take on the world! Thank you so so so much for all of this valuable information. I'm feeling extremely confident and ready to give it my all. You are a real one! Seriously thank you.
I usually struggle to stay focused during video classes because of my ADHD, but I never have trouble paying attention to you. You’re always direct and get straight to the point without any unnecessary fluff. Thanks so much - from Sydney, Australia 🦘
Been doing RE for over a decade now also. Pretty detailed info here. You don't need anything fancy to get started. Used canon and nikon DSLR cameras are so cheap now, they can easily get the job done. Just need a decent wide angle lens. I ditched my tripod 4 years ago but thats a skill in itself. The 2024 market is going to be a little challenging with the low inventory but I think if you can make it through this market and back to the next good cycle you'll be golden!
Ive been struggling to figure out my niche and I recently came across Real Estate photography. I am just beginning my journey but your channel that I came across last night has been absolutely everything that ive been looking for to try and break into this industry. Im sure just like you, I am just a father who is trying to figure out other ways to support my family with the skills I have and this is going to be a fun exciting chapter to that. Thank you for this page and info..
Just came across your video. I did real estate photography in North Carolina a while back. I connected with 3 new home construction builders and averaged shooting 2-3 homes per day form them. I also connected with a top agent in the area and became her dedicated photographer. Word of mouth marketing made my business explode where I had to turn jobs down as I was booked all the time. I had to do all of my editing so it seemed I was working 24-7. Recommendations: do not undervalue your services. Good clients will pay you well for the value you provide. On another note, I always removed rugs when possible. Unless it was a gigantic rug, agents want to show the flooring. Great job on this course!
@@mohammedalsare2232 I searched on the internet for new construction/home builders. I sent them emails to their marketing depts and let them know I am a real estate photographer and would like to provide them valuable content. Then I emailed local realtors with the same inquiry. I then connected to a top realtor in the area. I was shooting 2-3 houses everyday. One of the builders wanted photos of every major phase of the construction (framing/drywall/final) and then with the buyers. I didn't need to advertise or seek work after working for 3 builders and a few top agents. Word of mouth advertising kept me very busy. Good luck - I know there is a demand for quality work. You would be surprised how many agents use their cell phone cameras because they don't have a photographer available to them, nor the time to find a good one.
I've started my real estate photography when your channel was really young and there was like 5 videos. I'm still here, after a few years and every time i found a new value. Thanks Mike!
Really great rundown of everything you'd need to know for photography. I have been doing mostly video and want to crack into the photography scene for real estate also and this helped me so much. Thank you!
I'm only 24 and I've learned so much from this teacher/professor what a professional and well organized video be proud of yourself man ! And Thank You for the tips and education I've learned a lot.
For the bathroom shot you should have pan to the right, up to the door knob. That way you don't have to show half of the door and will give you more of the counter top.
Starting on my real estate photography journey. Have my A6400 recently passed my part 107, have my monopod and tripod starting my portfolio using Airbnb for practice. Great video using all your tips into my first shoot. Any videos regarding the business aspect like obtaining llc, contracts etc. Great info
This video has SOOOOO much value to it. Great info and wonderfully specific info that answers questions. Thanks for this. So few really share this info beyond camera settings.
I can never thank you enough Mike. Your literally have been a teacher for me to learn REA and be confident about it. Thank you and many blessings to you and your family!
I’m a casual photographer from Thailand doing some portraits and weddings. Now I’m starting to do real estate photography. Your videos helped me a lot and the clients were happy with the images. Thank you!!
you rock Mike! I am trying to make the switch into the REP world and you have made it so easy to understand the steps and what to do. Simply grateful for the amount of work, knowledge, and general tips that you provide on this channel.
I just found your channel, this was such an informational video. For someone like me who is just thinking about doing this as a newbie, it helps a lot as I have been pondering different ideas to make money doing photography. I will have to watch more videos to learn some more about this type of photography and editing, since I would like to try and get into this field. I have been practicing the HDR editing but still have a way to go but with this video it has shown me some tricks to help use lightroom and photoshop. I'm not sure about hiring an editor in the begging due I would like to get better with my own skill, but it is something to think about if I can't figure it out although I think I can. So, thank you for taking the time to make this course for everyone to watch and learn how to get started.
Been shooting since 2022 with Canon 550D T2i -$200 Canon EF-s 10-18 - $250 Starting dying on me so I recently upgraded to Canon R50 - $700 But I actually miss using the T2i because of Magic Lantern. And yes, 12mm FF is too wide for RE, but perfect for Architecture, especially luxury apartments
Checking your video out now and found something you may want to think about. ISO on these digital cameras should be set at the individual camera's native ISO for maximum dynamic range. I know your Sony has a dual gain sensor, but I am not familiar enough to say what the native ISO is. For most digital cameras the ISO should be set between iso 500 and iso 800. The camera's I use are ISO 640. Just a thought.
Thank you for taking the time to put this great course together. I learned so much and am grateful for the amount of detailed information. Your generosity will come back to you.
What a fantastic tutorial! It really helped me to evaluate my workflow and make some adjustments. Even though real estate photography isn't my main job (at least not yet), I feel much more confident in my skills now. I was especially happy to find out that you also shoot in brackets! Thanks for the tips, eg. the right tripod level, settings of the camera, (I used to shot Manual but I'll swap to AV) also, using the color range tool for desaturation is new to me (I use the white balance tooltip) but your method looks interesting and probably more efficient. I completely agree that manual editing produces superior results, but I'm curious about the time spent on the editing, eg. how long does it take to process around 25 photos? And if someone charges $175-200 that's definitely something to consider. For that reason I personally stick with the Auto HDR function as it's much quicker for me - also, I feel like I spend too much time removing dust, unwanted elements on the photos etc. However, I must say, the quality of your photos is truly unmatched so it might be the time for me to try the manual multi-layered approach!! Best, Darius
Oh man, SPIRO looks like a game changer for my part-time RE photography company. No more paying for a monthly service that I'm not actively using that month. Great Video!
I found your old videos and brought me here. Thanks for being helpful and sharing your knowledge. Also, I love seeing your growth as a youtuber since your episode 1 vlog.
Sir, you may have helped me escape the hell of corporate America. I’m an amateur photographer and this is such a great opportunity to do what you love and make money doing it. I know if have a LOT of work ahead of me to get started. The video you put together is worth a billion bucks for someone like me. This is an excellent road map for me to at least get started. I have a question. I don’t know how to do videography, never used a drone, or virtual tours. Is it imperative to master these additional skills before I can even start? Or can I just offer still photography service?
Regarding the choice of gear: I'd probably recommend go for the Canon R8. For the price of ancient Sony a7iii you'll get a modern camera with superb specs (for both, photo and video).
Hey, Mike, First of all, that you so much for this update. I enjoyed the older one and learned a lot, and this one brings everything up to current trends. That said, in the camera settings module, you recommended ISO 400, and in the shooting modules your camera info shows ISO 100. I'm not at all calling you out on this, but I would like to know your reasoning; subjective, I know, but is it about the fact that you know your Sony cameras so well, you just do ISO 100 automatically, and the ISO 400 suggestion was a default for newer REPs? Also what focal length are you using (if on a zoom)? Thoughts? TIA!
Yes! I absolutely usually shoot at iso 400 as I said. I didn’t really intend to shoot the demo at iso 100 but that sort of just happened by accident to be honest. There’s certainly no harm in shooting at iso 100, it just takes a little longer pretty much all the shots were shot at or very near 16mm.
Wow, this is really amazing! Thank you for your time and effort putting this together. One question I had, would you mind providing a sample of your "prepare sheet" that you mention giving to the client when preparing for a shoot?
Great video! I too shoot real estate (aerial, interior, and video), I also buck many of the "norms" in how I shoot. Most RE photography fails to maintain the reality of the property. When potential buyers walk into an open house, and it doesn't look like the pictures, that reflects poorly not only on the agent, but the photog. Find a healthy balance of getting the color temp corrected, without entirely changing the reality of the room. If the color temp of the bulbs in the lamps or recessed lighting is warm, between 2k-4k, it is what it is...work with it. Color cast is also a reality. Overcome it with sparingly using flash for a flambient shot.
We all have our own styles as photographers and I think that's a good thing! More choice in the marketplace. A lot of it is subjective. You will attract clientele that likes your particular style.
Hey brother. Great video. So it’s been a few years since you posted this. Did you have any issues after this? Should I get it for my real estate photography business? and what lens do you recommend to use outside and inside without getting any glare?
Fantastic video, thank you for the wealth of knowledge! Just a minor point to add for those interested: the Sony A7 IV can actually shoot in 1080p 10-bit when using the S&Q mode. Keep up the great work!"
I can't thank you enough! I've been searching for tutorials and trying to learn PS and applying what I learn to real estate photo editing and just couldn't get it. Your video did it for me! What do you suggest as far as making individual louvers in the blinds brighter? Just doing each one manually or just opening up the blinds all of the way? Also, what do you suggest about removing glare or reflections off of pictures hanging on walls? I'm a retired cop, who found joy in taking photographs, which has now morphed into real estate photography. I have LR down, but still learing PS and Premiere Pro. Thanks again!
I find your video very helpful when it comes to lighting, others talk about different flashes and an umbrellas and as an agent I want to make it as simple as possible. Thank you
Your professionalism shines brightly in this video, showcasing your remarkable skills. I am deeply grateful for your dedication throughout the process. It took me four days to reach the end, often revisiting the beginning to ensure I followed your guidance accurately. Thank you immensely for your efforts.
Great video 🫡 what do you think about the lens Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f/4 G ? It has much better reviews than zeiss 16-35 f/4… and for video I think f/4 it’s good enough don’t you think? Cheers 👋🏻
Thank you very much! I have just aquired a real estate franchise so I have to focus on a sales team which I would like to provide all the necessary tools to have succes… so the photos and presentation are esential I’ll try pixel mob Thank you!🎉
Incredible work 🔥About Spiro, is it possible to remove the option of the gallery website sent to the realtor? It’s kind of easy to just go on the website and printscreen the photos since there’s no watermark on these one 😅
@ 52:00 minutes, are you replacing the grass when editing? The original image has leaves and debris on the grass, but post editied the grass in lush green and also no leaves or debris to be seen.
In your pricing section you mentioned not offering free shoots. Would it be acceptable to offer to shoot free so I can build a portfolio of pictures to show potential clientele?
This is indeed a pool of knowledge, Thank you @insiderealestatephotography. I recently relocated to Canada and looking to start a Photography business in real estate. My best tip was about pricing. Stay blessed.
This has been so enlightening! Thank you so much for taking all that time to create this. You make me feel confident to get into this field. I've been thinking about it for a couple years now but never took the leap. I feel excited after watching this! You are awesome! What site did you use to create your website? Did you create it or did you hire someone? I'm not great with creating webpages.
fantastic video, Did you mention anything about your white balance settings for mixed lighting situations? I haven't had time to watch through the entire video so maybe you did and I missed it
I've been trying to find a decent video showing property photography in the UK and I couldn't find anything. Saw this video pop up today even though it's the USA. Best video I've seen so far. Love the editing. I'm trying to get into this sort of photography as a job but it's difficult to get into especially when you don't have any experience. New subscriber here 😀 Do you not use flash at all, and just HDR?
Tho I'm not here for real estate photography, but I've watched the whole thing and gained a ton of information. Thank you so much for this amazing video
Thank you for this video. I am a beginner at this gig, and I have enjoyed watching this video. Quick question, I see that you used both Photoshop and Lightroom editing software, so do both work hand in hand? Or can you use one without the other?
I have a Sony ZV 10 E camera. Which wide angle lens would be good for interiors? Would Sigma 16mm be enough, or do I have to invest in 14mm? Thank you so much for this course and the work that you are doing on youtube. Or maybe Sigma 10-18/2.8?
Thank you so much! So much helpful information here, I’ve been feeling really low thinking I can’t make it in the business, this video made me feel so much better
Hi Mike - Thanks for the awesome video, it was so incredibly helpful! I just wanted to find out, are you able to deliver videos alongside the photographs using Spiro? For example, a 1 minute video of the property.
Because then you can use either. I use the shutter button quite a bit and the remote when I need to get out of the room or avoid reflections and things like that.
You've provided unbelievable value here. Just know you're helping a man who was miserable in his career set himself free. I'm giving it my all. Thank you.
glad to hear it and best of luck!
i hope you make it !! best wishes from here!!!
Same here!

I find your video very helpful when it comes to lighting, others talk about different flashes and an umbrellas and as an agent I want to make it as simple as possible. Thank you
Did you give up from flambient and hdr combiniation and start just bracketing?
Your professionalism shines brightly in this video, showcasing your remarkable skills. I am deeply grateful for your dedication throughout the process. It took me four days to reach the end, often revisiting the beginning to ensure I followed your guidance accurately. Thank you immensely for your efforts.
Unbelievable! You’re God sent! Thanks a million.
Great video 🫡 what do you think about the lens Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f/4 G ? It has much better reviews than zeiss 16-35 f/4… and for video I think f/4 it’s good enough don’t you think? Cheers 👋🏻
Thank you very much!
I have just aquired a real estate franchise so I have to focus on a sales team which I would like to provide all the necessary tools to have succes… so the photos and presentation are esential
I’ll try pixel mob
Thank you!🎉
Thank you! This was a great course, appreciate this!
Incredible work 🔥About Spiro, is it possible to remove the option of the gallery website sent to the realtor? It’s kind of easy to just go on the website and printscreen the photos since there’s no watermark on these one 😅
@ 52:00 minutes, are you replacing the grass when editing? The original image has leaves and debris on the grass, but post editied the grass in lush green and also no leaves or debris to be seen.
I am just started at that area and your course help me a lot, thank you so much buddy, you are doing an amazing work.God bless you.
Amazing Course! Thank you!
In your pricing section you mentioned not offering free shoots. Would it be acceptable to offer to shoot free so I can build a portfolio of pictures to show potential clientele?
Do you not use lr enfuse anymore wouldn’t that be better and easier ?
This is indeed a pool of knowledge, Thank you @insiderealestatephotography. I recently relocated to Canada and looking to start a Photography business in real estate. My best tip was about pricing. Stay blessed.
@@OgbonnayaJoseph best of luck to you!
👏👏👏❤️ love this course! Gives me confidence I can achieve my goals with practice.
The editing is the biggest reason why I haven’t jumped into real estate photography. I’m no pro at photoshop and only know a few basics.
Simple solution, outsource your editing to someone else!
Would you be able to share your prepare sheet that you give to clients?
men you're such an amazing and so humble person thanks for the tip
This has been so enlightening! Thank you so much for taking all that time to create this. You make me feel confident to get into this field. I've been thinking about it for a couple years now but never took the leap. I feel excited after watching this! You are awesome! What site did you use to create your website? Did you create it or did you hire someone? I'm not great with creating webpages.
Great content and tips. Thank you so much
fantastic video, Did you mention anything about your white balance settings for mixed lighting situations? I haven't had time to watch through the entire video so maybe you did and I missed it
I always use auto white balance
Thank you Mike for this unbelievable information!!! Sat down and took notes after watching this once already!!
I've been trying to find a decent video showing property photography in the UK and I couldn't find anything. Saw this video pop up today even though it's the USA. Best video I've seen so far. Love the editing. I'm trying to get into this sort of photography as a job but it's difficult to get into especially when you don't have any experience. New subscriber here 😀 Do you not use flash at all, and just HDR?
Thanks! Mostly HDR but sometimes busy out the flash
Tho I'm not here for real estate photography, but I've watched the whole thing and gained a ton of information. Thank you so much for this amazing video
Is the 10-18mm lens the one you recommend getting for the Sony a6400 camera?
You're the GOAT
Excellent overview. I’ve been shooting since 1998 and picked up some great tips. Thanks
awsome! im 15 and my dad got me a camera so im getting to work and learning this in a week before my 1st shoot! eek!
@@MadisonReyes-r3e good luck!
quick question: is a6400 a good camera to shoot real estate photography?
Merci pour le cours, j'attends avec impatience le cours sur la vidéo.
Do you recommend the Tamron 17-28?
Thank you for this video. I am a beginner at this gig, and I have enjoyed watching this video.
Quick question, I see that you used both Photoshop and Lightroom editing software, so do both work hand in hand? Or can you use one without the other?
I have a Sony ZV 10 E camera. Which wide angle lens would be good for interiors? Would Sigma 16mm be enough, or do I have to invest in 14mm? Thank you so much for this course and the work that you are doing on youtube. Or maybe Sigma 10-18/2.8?
This guy is THE BEST. Where can we send donations?
Is the canon 5d mark 2 okay to use for real Estate?
What a video!!! Thanks a lot, that’s very helpful 🙌
Thank you so much! So much helpful information here, I’ve been feeling really low thinking I can’t make it in the business, this video made me feel so much better
Amazing course. So much valuable information. Thank you so much Mike!
Thank you, Mike! This is amazing. Just what I needed to get started 😄
Hi Mike - Thanks for the awesome video, it was so incredibly helpful!
I just wanted to find out, are you able to deliver videos alongside the photographs using Spiro? For example, a 1 minute video of the property.
Yes you can!
Thank you for your straightforward, practical video.
do you need a really good camera which cost $1000+ to do real estate photography or can you get started with an entry grade dslr?
For the washroom shot, can you remove the door for the shot? Or is that no allowed?
You are awesome!1 I'm so happy I found you since I want to get into real estate photography. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you and good luck!
Thanks@@InsideRealEstatePhotography
48:07 - Front of House Shot: I like how you gave that grass life haha
27:00 why use a timer if you’re using a remote? I understand why you would if you’re using the shutter button on the camera.
Because then you can use either. I use the shutter button quite a bit and the remote when I need to get out of the room or avoid reflections and things like that.
You are the absolute best.
