Lighting For Real Estate Photography is a 28-part video series devoted to lighting techniques using small flashes. Interiors photographer Scott Hargis shows you, in detail, the techniques he uses to produce real estate photographs that require little or no post-processing.

Spanning almost three hours in total length, the videos cover every aspect of field work, from the fundamentals of flash photography, to equipment, workflow, and specific lighting techniques for every major room type. With episodes centered on topics such as window exposures, reflection issues, kitchens, bathrooms, etc., Scott takes you through everything you need to know to light your way through nearly any real estate photo.

The episodes are shot “on location”, in 14 different residences, and are ‘real-life’ shoots done by Scott for real-life clients. Every step of the process is covered, including problem-solving and mistakes.

Learn how to “finish” your photos in the camera, not in Photoshop.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Episode 1: Start Here
Scott lays out the series agenda, and explains the “philosophy” behind the technique.

Episode 2: Fundamentals
Camera settings, flash theory, and the basic process behind every shot Scott makes. There’s also a quick demonstration of flash technique. This episode lays the foundation for everything else to come!

Episode 3: Use This
Equipment! Scott goes through the basic gear you need to shoot flash interiors. And, a trip to the “Flash Laboratory” for an in-depth look at radio triggers and optical slaves.

Episode 4: Let’s Take a Walk
Join Scott on a pre-shoot walkthrough of a house. We scout the rooms, and plan the shoot so we’re as efficient as possible.

Episode 5: Wake Up
Shooting starts! Scott demonstrates the “basic bedroom” setup in detail.

Episode 6: Look Out!
Windows….nothing but windows. Learn the technique behind exposing for great window views, AND lighting the interior, in one shot.

Episode 7: Living Large
Scott’s favorite episode. We shoot two very different living rooms, with very different techniques. We look at how to take a shot from “Ok” to “awesome”.

Episode 8: Dinner Party
Dining rooms. One easy, and one hard (really hard). Having trouble with chandeliers or ceiling fans? This is your episode!

Episode 9: Let’s Flush This Out
Yeah, we had to do it. Bathrooms — Scott shows three different ones, including the big modern “master” bath. Scott pulls a cool trick out of the bottom of the lighting bag!

Episode 10: Eat at Joe’s
Scott’s other favorite episode. Two kitchens: one little and plain, one big and shiny. We make a total of five shots, each one better than the last.

Episode 11: Here and Here and Here and Here
This episode takes place entirely within one old house. Lots of small connected rooms, each one needing it’s own lighting technique.

Episode 12: Wide Open Spaces
Open floor plans! Scott shoots two open spaces, starting with a small one, and then on to a big urban loft conversion. We look at strategies for handling a large space, from composition to lighting. Scott also shows how a big space gives you the freedom to be extra-creative with the light.

Episode 13: Into the Night
We make a quick trip to Spain to shoot a twilight exterior. Mother nature handles the lighting for this one, but Scott walks us through the technique and equipment for shooting a beautiful twilight shot.

Episode 14: Fin
End of the road. A few words from Scott on what to do, and where to go, next.

Insolitas
Insolita: adjective. Latin — unusual, extraordinary, remarkable, curious
Reflective Surfaces: A quick primer on ticks for avoiding and “cheating” reflections
Mirrors: How to become a vampire and not show up in mirrors!
Gels: A short discussion of gels – what they do, which ones to have, and when to use ‘em
Massaging Exposures: Scott shows how manipulating the shutter speed and aperture can allow you to adjust the flash/ambient ratio on a ‘finished’ shot – and achieve a smoother, more natural look. Goodbye, “flashy” photos!
Perspectives: Scott shows how the camera’s perspective on the room drives the lighting decisions.
Stainless Steel: Reflections in stainless steel. Ugh.
Colored Walls: How to bounce a light off a colored wall, and still have accurate white balance.
