    In this video, I'll show you how to photograph, edit, composite, and retouch architectural photography that, in this case, was taken on a yacht. This style of photography and editing can be used to photograph any small space.

    Nice work there! Two things woth concidering about your workflow;
    1. correct the perspective first using lightroom (guided) - you can copy and paste it to another donor photos if your first selection is lacking
    2. import the files to photoshop as smart objects so you can fine-tune white balance and exposure.
    Hardest thing about the process is batch developing the images and with these two tips it's much easier. Cheers!

    Aside from the whole tutorial being really cool showing a lot of neat tricks, I love the final crop in 16x9. Since every camera shoots 3x2, or 4x3, I think too many people get stuck using those crops, or maybe 8x10. But with screens being 16x9 generally for computers and tv, we know it's a good ratio, and I think it looks great for photos as well.

    3:00 You can also flash at the windows, overexposing the interior, and then use darken mode to blend it. Commonly referred to as a “window pull”
    6:00 Highly recommend opening as smart objects in photoshop and then dragging them in. It can save a lot of time if colors / exposure needs tweaked

    Nice work! So, as a "full time interior yacht photographer" (or something like that), I have found a shift lens is invaluable, like a 17 T/S, with the sometimes odd heights of things. And getting the boat off the dock is definitely essential for those window views! And it looks great to put a photo of that boat on the tv...

    It's much better to increase the shutter speed for your flash shot rather than stopping down (assuming that you're not already at your max sync speed, which if you're shooting at f8 and ISO100 is unlikely). Stopping down hugely deceases the power of the flash which is a problem if you're in a bigger space or only using a speedlight. This problem occures constantly in real estate (not having enough flash power), which is why we shoot at around f7.1 - f8 and ISO200-400 (rather than say f11 and ISO100). It's all about that flash power baby! (it helps having an 600watt studio flash if you really want to be a lighting badass). Also, by changing the f-stop between images you're also changing the sharpness of different exposures and the look of the diffracted light, which isn't the biggest deal but it's something take note of.

    • @nooch8692
      @nooch8692 ปีที่แล้ว

      I assume you stopped down to f22 so you could slow down your shutter speed to have time to manually trigger the flash because you weren't using a remote flash trigger?

    • @FStoppers
      @FStoppers  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not a purist that has to get it right in camera. I feel like I can just crop in and get the same results as a tilt-shift with only a slight loss in resolution. With this job, the images will never be printed, they will only be on the web so I probably need about 1MP/images but I'm ending with a 20MP+ files. So for me and most jobs, I don't care to use a tilt-shift.

      TS-E are very important tools in architecture photography, but with each job there's a place for ultrawide prime/zooms and that's small spaces like toilets or warderobes. You'd rather shoot most of images with 24 or 17 but slapping something like 11 or 12mm for those shots will save you a ton of time during etiting (HDR panoramas shot with TS-E are nightmare to work on)

  • @waynedennyphoto
    @waynedennyphoto ปีที่แล้ว

    Lmao, I see everyone is giving you PS tips, so let me add one more! At 11:05, you start dragging the guides (and then skewing the photo) to get a level shot, but if you use the geometry section in camera raw you can drag two lines for vertical and two for horizontal and it'll automatically do it for you. It's wildly efficient! Even if you forgot to do it initially, you can use Camera Raw as a filter to do it to the final image.

    How do you get rid of the fog when using long exposures? I get a lot of fog when i try to photograph bright days and open windows.
    I also think that maybe you wouldn't need an extra light, you could just turn on lights and open windows. You are not at backlight, the light comes from the side. And make photos with open windows + lights and open windows with no lights.

    • @homewardboundphotos
      @homewardboundphotos ปีที่แล้ว

      You don't understand the point of a flash. The point of the flash is to nurtrailse color temperature variation. Turning all the lights brand you have multiple different light sources mixing and combining to create a mash of bad colors

    • @aldobelenda907
      @aldobelenda907 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@homewardboundphotos I do understand it and still think is not that necessary, I'm a professional Architectural & Interior Photographer.
      The temperature variation is neutralized since the production, I turn on only warm lights, then only the other lights, in other just day lights and in other all the lights.
      When I shoot day photos I don't turn on lights unless it helps me to lit some objects that would hel me in the postproduction process or if the client wants the photo with lamps turned on, mostly for real estate, but for architects and interiors they prefer day or night photo.
      In post production I choose which photos I need and try to get the basic white balance in all of them, trying to neutraliza this color variation, blues or oranges.
      I bought a Godox Continuos light just for ocassions when I'm at backlight and the lights of the project doesn't help me that much. But in the 95% of the shootings, I haven't need a flash or an extra light.
      Even Mike Kelley doesn't use that equipment.

    • @nooch8692
      @nooch8692 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude the reason you get "fog" in your images when you do the long exposures is because of the physics of light (and also to a degree the quality of your lens). This is why we use a flash - to control the ambient light and knockout all that highlight bloom around the windows to get a crisp and sharp window view. You also get the benefit of colour correction and balancing the interior/exterior light to make it easier to edit the photo. Depending on the house and lighting conditions, I bet the window area in a lot of your imagesdosn't look great.
