Great tutorial Mike! Quick update and fix regarding the white balance issue with Sony cameras that you mentioned; I also shoot with the Sony A7S iii and regarding the WB issue, a complete fix (if you want it corrected in the field) is to use the Flashpoint R2 SP (single pin) trigger. This completely fixes the “warm” white balance flash shots. Also, the method you mentioned about using a Canon trigger on the Sony doesn’t work unfortunately...I purchased the same trigger you’re using in this video but the Canon model and it does not physically fit in the hot shoe. I tried a Fuji version as well and same thing, won’t fit in the hot shoe...Regardless, anyone reading this and want the white balance issue fixed, use the Flashpoint R2 SP trigger...and they are only $25USD. Thank you again! :)

Two flashes work well for most homes. Yes high end homes with high ceilings and large windows will require more lighting but don't underestimate what you can do with two flashes and multiple frames then editing using layers in photoshop. Takes longer and yes stronger lighting speeds it up but when starting out it's a good idea to control your budget.

1 flash. 1 exposure. Point flash at ceiling. Slightly over expose windows, grade and colour correct in post. Modern cameras can recover most window details. 95% of clients will not be able to distinguish. If the ceiling is too high or room is too large, consider skipping the flash entirely; We don’t use flash in Real Estate videography and get on just fine with colour grading in post. Unless this is like a $2M+ property, this video overcomplicates everything.

You explained everything nicely, but don't you think the end result is over-edited? Everything is so perfect that the room looks flat, one-dimensional. What makes any object, and a room, interesting and 3D is light/shade play. By eliminating shades and so called imperfections the space does not look real, including the picture outdoors which is way too clear. I see a lot of this in interior design books and in my opinion the rooms lose their charm in an effort to produce a "perfect" image. Ambient photo that you took first was way more pleasing to the eye than the final one. Of course, I am not a pro and this is not meant as a criticism, just an observation.

For me I’m not a big fan of the perfectly exposed windows in a room. It’s unnatural even to the human eye. Our eyes only have a certain amount of dynamic range. stare outside and you can see naturally your room becomes darker then switch your eyes to a dark corner and you can see that your windows become brighter. For good reference, I’ll check architectural digest and Better Homes & Gardens from time to time to see what the top architectural photographer so doing. For the most part they usually have completely blown out windows. Especially if there’s not a huge vista or something spectacular to look at outside. Your subject is the interior of the house not necessarily a street with telephone poles and a bunch of other houses off in the distance. Flash definitely has an advantage if used properly. Although you did forget there’s a big dead shadow behind that couch under the pine poster that I would’ve lit up. But I think for fast workflow you can do most of this with three or four bracketed shots and call it a day and get 90% the quality with about a quarter of the work.

@palebeachbum You wouldn't be doing that if you were just battling it out with competition for the most RnG HDR shoots in your area, at the cheapest price. Flambient evidently produces much higher quality, which ultimately means that you charge more, shoot & edit less, enjoy your life daily and work with better clientele. Implement PS actions and LR presets and you're cruising through edits! Don't over do it. So many people do. The lighting equipment isn't too much of a financial hit either (was about $500 CDN). Shop wisely. It's an investment and a good one at that. I switched over from HDR and only being a few months into my business, I've noticed it attracts a different clientele. All the best.

@@forumsnowsoldier I appreciate the input from someone doing the work. I'm in the research and learning stage before I get started with clients. I may delve into flambient to try it on for size later, but for now HDR seems more straightforward and a time saver on-site. Good for someone like myself less skilled and slower paced. I don't know how to create or run Photoshop actions and Lightroom presents yet. Much to learn still. What I will say about so much of the pro real estate photography in my area though is that they way over-enhance their images. Interiors are way too bright with too little depth, creating an artificial CGI vibe, with window pulls so dark it looks like a Sears portrait backdrop outside every window. These photographers clearly have the knowledge and skill to do the extra work required to pull off that look, but IMO it looks terrible. As a real estate photographer on KZitem stated, if your photos look like they've been enhanced, you've gone too far. So I'm aiming for a less harsh, more natural HDR look. I recently saw images from a flambient shoot in a home with small rooms and it had some issues. Flash showing on shiny surfaces like glossy dark wood kitchen cabinets and tile in the bathrooms. It was kinda ugly and harsh for all of the extra post production required to blend. Maybe flambient works better in large rooms. I just find HDR to look far more natural overall and less post production work. I'll spend more time learning about flambient and analyzing the work of other local pros.
@forumsnowsoldier

@palebeachbum Spend lots of time researching both techniques and find something that suits your skillset/style. HDR/brackets may be quicker when shooting onsite, but to hand blend them correctly for professional use, takes WAY longer than flambient editing. The 50/50 technique used by many will get you by with 85% of shoots and will outshine HDR in almost all ways, all day long. I don't spend much more time on site shooting flash then I did with bracketing but when I get home to edit (I don't outsource) I fly through them as most of the work is done on site. Proper trigger setups with center pin isolation and shutter releases will speed up the process even more! Have a good look at the market you're in and decide what's good for you. I don't like working with clients who don't have a large focus on marketing anyway (it's always easy to tell). I'll leave those shoots for the RnG HDR photographers charging less and less to beat out their competition. Also, sounds to me like some of these edits are over done, or edited by amateurs. I don't stress window pulls unless the view is something spectacular that potential buyers might be interested in seeing & I make this clear when booking shoots. It can really draw the attention away from the interior space and that's not something you want. Also I'm not quite sure where you're seeing the editing for HDR is much quicker than Flambient? If you're just HDR merging in lightroom and running through a few presets/touchups then maybe this is the case but not when hand blending. I suggest you do a little more research in that regard. Alot of people on here breaking it down and making it seem much more time consuming then it actually is! (Presets and Actions FTW!) Hope this helps! All the best.

Be cool to time it, as if you are in the field and trying to keep an expeditious work flow. Seems flambient is adding a lot of "bulk" to the process, and would think a good HDR artist could match the result... your thoughts? With the new Sony A bodies... low light scenarios and brackets with a low ISO would keep things clean. Side note , using the a7S3? How does your sharpness compare to your a7III or an R series body?

Quality is similar to my a7iii but smaller files which is great. We don’t need a lot of resolution for real estate photos so in my mind it’s perfect. The video features are fantastic.

Are you doing Flambient method on EVERY shot for a house shoot, or just the most marketable ones? when i started messing with real estate photography lightly 2-ish years ago I was into the flambient method. However, at this point in time with software like Photomatix Pro (and others) stacking exposure brackets and blending HDR is pretty dang easy and fast. Since this September, in my last 150 shoots the only light I've used when ambient is not enough is a head lamp or flash light bounced off ceiling when it's too dark, while the brackets rip. or they have bulbs out or missing say in a laundry room, or bath room. Of course, agents that have their $hi* together usually make sure all bulbs are fixtures are working, but many times they are just flipping something and doing minimal effort. Anyhow, I'm just not sold on spending my extra time doing Flambient anymore (unless it was a super awesome property that "deserved" it), when blending brackets has become so easy and also high quality when done right. THOUGHTS ???

Well I’m gonna have to get away with using a speed light. I can’t afford $500+ equipment every time. I’ve already bought several essential items and just when I think I have what I need ,I watch these videos to help me understand how to work with the equipment I bought and I get told to buy something else or more than I have. And to be honest right now I’m sucking away money faster than I can make it. Sometimes I wish Real Estate photography didn’t feel like an endless checklist of things to buy that I don’t have. So I have to use a speed light. That’s all I can afford

You will be fine starting with a speed light or even no light. You don’t need to afford the best and newest thing. Important thing is to get what you can and start shooting!

So when you have a project with 5+ rooms, you will spend huge time in shooting then editing! Why not just 5XP HDR then some fine tuning!? Removing color cast is easier than this..
@InsideRealEstatePhotography

The editing can be done quicker. This a demonstration so the pace is slow so people can understand. This image still suffered from some color cast but in a lot of situations the flash eliminates it so almost no clot correction is needed.

Hi there, I have an issue. After straightening the verticals in Lightroom and opening the photos in Photoshop as layers I notice a huge distortion at the the left and right sides of the photos. It looks more distorted than how they were straight out of the camera. Any idea why? Thank you

So the photos look right in Lightroom but not in photoshop? Make sure you have “edit with Lightroom adjustments” selected in the box that comes up when you send them to photoshop from Lightroom.

I know its more equipment but I might have try 2 AD200Pro with 2 Silver umbrellas just to see if I can take less shots. Just trying to limit post production masking. If I can get it done with three shots at the property that would be my preferred route.

Hi Mike. This is going to be an embarrassingly stupid question, but I can’t figure out how to trip the shutter for the XPro while holding the flash. Like, there are zero out there explaining it. I currently use 2 flashpoint RS and an AD200 and it’s fine, but when I use the XPro I can’t get the flashpoint as a remote. Is there a specific shutter remote or am I missing something really obvious?
