Get a Godox Diffusion Dome, no more multiple ceiling pops. It works on the AD 200 Pro and other flashes. One single pop lights the whole room, which will cut the time down similar to hdr.

This video was extremely vague. I started doing real estate photography about a month ago. I’ve done 8 properties. I first started doing HDR since that’s what most people talked about. I’m a graphic designer so I’m very familiar and experienced with using photoshop, and man it took a lot of work to edit them with HDR. On the third property I started doing flambient and the editing was like night and day. There’s so much more that goes into this, you made it look waaaaay to simple for both options. I hope people don’t get misguided.

I did HDR for years. Once I got the hang of Flash Ambient, there was no going back for me. However, if it’s a vacant investment grade property, I will usually HDR it.

This really all depends on the type of property you are shooting. Dark/wood homes are the hardest for ambient hdr and flash. I would say flash is my goto because ambient sometimes takes longer to edit...again depending on the room. Sometimes the flash vs the ambient is so subtle it isn't even worth it. But all that considered is take flash pops and then decide in post if its worth the extra time to blend.

Thanks, Tyler - Well done with great information! One thing I personally am envious of is your ability to send out for edits when pushed for time. My area has pathetic available upload speeds of 5 Mbit MAX (and fastest D/L is 50 megabits per second, at an extra $20/month!). Oh well, it is what it is.

I'm usually running 3 flashes on a shoot (AD400 and AD200x2) which helps me cut down editing time (more time on site, but I get more exercise, haha). And, I use Loupedeck for LR and I have a ton of actions and shortcuts set up in PS so my editing goes pretty fast. I'll use HDR for those hallway shots that tie spaces together and occasionally on exteriors.

Basically same process for me, use the HDR image as my ambient, and then do a 50/50 blend with the HDR in luminosity with the flash for colour correction and crispness. It is really fast, especially if you have actions set up in photoshop to align, then blend the two photos with HDR on top, in luminosity mode, and set opacity to 50%. It takes 30 seconds per photo to blend. Cheers.

I like HDR for nearly everything but I also find value in the flash for rooms with lots of wood-don’t know if my editor uses the flash image directly or just for reference in their HDR blending…. Either way, I get more accurate results on hardwood floors and wood cabinets with the flash. Also, I tend to use more flash on luxury properties…. the agent expects things to be a bit (15 mins max) longer on those listings anyways and carrying around a big flash is a good look in front of a client as opposed to flying around for 25 mins shooting in brackets…. the optics matter sometimes even though the results and service are the ultimate determining factors.

The client will not notice the difference since only one set will be delivered tho us a shooters will discriminate. Agreed, for high end, the smaller details and colors popping with flash is the better choice. HDR is faster on the shoot and in post processing (batch) and depending on how detailed window pulls are or blending of layers, could do all processing in LR. For reflections, glass shower doors and fingerprints on the fridge(!), flash all the way and window pulls too. For me, I don't mind the extra time with flash. If it's production work, I stick with LR only or outsource.

For smaller rooms with white celling flash, for large rooms with wide big windows hdr. Best flash for real estate is Godox Ad200 , V1 is not enough power. Ad200 light up all the room and it is fast to shoot with it. You have to be fast cause they don't pay you enough to waist your time. Learn edit photos fast and you are good to go. No need to pay others to edit your photos.
@tyler_fraser

V1 can be enough power if you use a higher ISO, but I agree that the 200 is definitely a better option! And as long as you’re fast at editing and can handle the volume, editing yourself is fine! I could never since my company shoots around 1000 homes per year

Dash is better because it fixes the problem of multiple light temperatures, which you don’t mention. Daylight can vary from 3000k to 7000k, depending on time of day, cloudiness, sun reflected off snow, etc. Indoor incandescent, halogen, LED or fluorescent drastically affect the color temperature and conflict with outdoor lighting. Flash can be bounced off white ceilings or thru windows with a soft box to fix this.

I'd highly recommend learning how to edit with strobes yourself. You basically own the edit and will be able to speak the language of the Realtors, designers or anyone else that you are shooting for. Check out Nathan Cool Photo. He has tons of videos and books as to how to get into the flash ambient style of shooting. I'd highlight recommend it! Also, once you get the hang of flash ambient, this style can be extremely faster to edit compared to HDR, however, the learning curve is STEEEEEEEP.
