- Photographing interior design is a different kind of 'beast' in the genre of A&D photography. I had to learn some of these the hard way, so I hope they help.

Very helpful, I’ve started taking client now for real estate and interior designers. The difference and your explanation was so wonderful. Thank you! ☺️
If you've ever been annoyed at the TH-cam algorithm for a gross miscarriage of justice, not boosting quality content, that's precisely how I feel after watching this video. I did a double take when I checked out your sub count at the end, assuming you would be in the multiple 100k range.
The production quality is up there with anything I've seen from other, more established channels and the content was clearly original and extremely helpful. Most strikingly, your delivery was exceptional. You're a natural on camera and your audio production does that justice.
Subbing immediately.
You’re awesome! That’s very kind of you to say. I’m still relatively fresh to TH-cam but the channel is definitely growing. Feedback like this makes my day 🙂
100% agree, hi quality content. Subbing.
100% agree with this! I found his channel a few weeks ago and was surprised how small it was. This is an excellent channel Matt!
@@MatthewAPhoto I agree - it's top quality content. But growth on YT usually takes time. The ones with 100k + subs have usually been at it for years. Often with little obvious results in the early years.
Really good video man. Just got my first assignment as a photographer in this unknown photography area and thus really helped me out!
Thanks Matthew!
I'm baffled by the fact this quality content only got 24k views 😳
So much thank you! Was a great video with awesome information!
Fantastic Video Matt, learned a lot! Thank you
Thank you.
Would you recommend tethering? I'm just learning through an online course of interior photography by Studio Muk and she has a shapter on tethering with Capture One. Thank you in advance for your thoughts!
Yes I highly recommend tethering. Whether it’s a phone, iPad, or laptop…tethering is a great way to check the quality of your exposures as you’re shooting.
@@MatthewAPhoto Thank you for the advise! 🙏 I'll do that next time for sure.
I am learning about real estate photography cause I am about to start picking up some of those gigs on the side but I much prefer your style of shooting looks way cleaner. I wish this was the normal style in real estate.
“Can’t figure out how to get rid of reflection.”
Try a polarizer.
Regardless of DOF , what's your go-to technique to have everything in focus ? Specifically for large areas.
Can you imagine amateurs shooting "flambaint" (a term I despise) on film and making it look natural?? Dean Collins is rolling in his grave...
So in that case will you recommend RF 24-70 2.8 or 15-35 ? Thanks
Excellent video. I’m an architect and this is all true. 24mm totally agree. Designers will absolutely hate flambient style images
Great video Matthew. I appreciate the time and insight you put into your channel!
Tip #6 -- What to do if you need, say a photo of the entire kitchen but there isn't enough space to capture it with a longer focal length? I'm working with an interior designer, we were photographing a kitchen she had completed for a client. The kitchen was very wide but the space in general was a bit tight to get a 'hero' shot of the entire kitchen. I don't particularly like the look of wide angle lenses when the subject is too close, the distortion becomes very noticeable but in this case I needed to shoot at 16mm to capture the entire kitchen. What you you recommend in this case, when the space is not big enough to photograph from a distance that allows for a longer lens?
just shoot 9 or more pictures like square grid, then you can merge them in Lightroom or photoshop via panoramic merge cut scraps and edit. super simple you will find that on yt.
I'm from Brazil and I live in Acre, in the Amazon. I discovered your channel and your tips have been fantastic. Here we still have channels with this level of excellence in teaching architectural and interior photography. Keep posting more and more content. A hug from Brazil.
Does everything have to be in focus (no bokeh stuff here)? What F stop do you use? is it like in real estate; 7ish.
I think oversharpened doesn't help either
Another great video! However when Flash-Ambient blending is done right there should be no "FLASH LOOK" Either way following the natural direction of light would negate this. Absolutely agree with you for design and architecture. Mostly natural light w/ added light cleaning and depth shaping with light.
Flambient photo - flat photo
Thanks you
Very helpful videos Matthew. I have been a natural light guy for a long time but it is time to put on the big boy pants and get into off camera flash. Will be purchasing a Westcott FJ 400. (Profoto is a bit out of my budget). Your tutorials will be very helpful.
very helpful. do you still use a LF camera? I realize everyone has gone digital in commercial photography. A LF camera can address some of these focus issues. I guess that it depends on the architect. Some want that fine arts look? I guess that Julius Shulman pioneered using flash with natural light. But he used it sparingly and didn't overpower the ambient light. I call what you call architectural digest look. But that look is better than a light bounced on the ceiling. It's easy to talk about but very hard to do.
Great list Matthew-this might be your best video yet! Regarding the last tip, while I have yet to even attempt focus stacking, I think bit of shallower depth of field can look nice on interiors, provided the key elements are in focus. Of course, having it all in focus looks good too, but a bit of out of focus foreground is not nearly as egregious as having distorted lamps in the corner of your frame because you shot it too wide.
I agree 100%. I’ve done the occasional shot with more of an artsy look at f2.8. Clients love those kind of images too.
Great tips. After watching this video I've learnt a lot of important factors to keep in mind. Thank you Matthew for sharing such lovely contents. Love from India.
Do examples of when to remove light please
He showed one in the video...
Very wise words. All of them. It’s good to have a refresh like this; the focus f#$k-up gremlin is always waiting to pounce! Thank you Matthew
It's a really good Tips for me... thanks
I 100% agreed that inspite of using flash light photo should look natural. Lighting should be 3D. Thanks for sharing valuable tips. Also the presentation is nice.
Your videos are top notch and super informative! This one in particular is the one I definitely needed to watch, as I'm a real estate photographer transitioning into more architecture and interior design photos - I've been doing real estate content for 8 years and now work for an architect firm. You hit home when you said real estate photographers pride themselves on how quickly they can deliver images, and I was struggling with having to take my time with my first interior design shoots. Rather than fight it, I now know that I should embrace it.
Thanks for your sound advice, looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Wow it’s very inspiring video! We are general contractor based in Denver and even if we are more “real estate” I still found those tips are incredibly useful 🖤
Instead of focus stacking using hyperfocal distance
Great video. Second time watching it as I have a interior shoot next week
Really great tips! I recently found your channel and I love that you share your expertise with us
Great video! I apply all of this tips, tha last one happened to me a few months ago, I had just finished shooting all different exposures, and then I looked the image and nothing was focused, but in the preview, it looked as it was, it was a night street photo so I did'n noticed it when shooting.
The 8th tip could be: before any photo, check the ISO and the focal lenght. It happened to me that I had to put ISO in 400 and focal in 4.5 for a photo where the client wanted to be, and for the next photos I forgot to change it, I realized the mistake just when I was in the post production process. Very bad mistake, the photo looks nice, but every time I see it, I know there's something wrong.
My shootings are from 3 to 8 hours, depending the space and the props. But in the end, the photos look great.
Something that misses, is that architects do like photos like real estate, cause they like to show how the entire space works. But they also like shadows to be more realistic and not that flat
Super helpful. Thank. you, sir.
Great job, bravo! I'm glad to have an old Canon 35mm tilt-shift from the film days.
really good list. I mainly shoot RE but have done a few builder shoots. It was a lot slower and way different than a RE shoot.
This was extremely helpful, thank you!
Super valuable tips! You just answered all the questions I had about this subject. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! Need to learn more about post processing 😬
Thanks for the tips Mathew.
Super helpfull!! Thank you for sharing your experience!😊
Perfect explanation🙌
Super helpful ideas to consider. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Awesome tips as usual. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
Good Stuff Matthew!
Thanks a lot for this helpful video!
Keep going. Thank you for your valuable lessons and videos. ☺
This has gotta be one of the best content for interior design photography! Thanks alot for the tips!
Hey Matthew will 50mm would work for the this type of potography?
Yes 👍
Love it ❤ thanks very much
Excellent advice!
Love it. I've made mistakes on #7 several times
Matt, you should have atleast 100k subscribers. Interesting information, good video quality. Love ur works, thank you!
Much appreciated! Thank you for the kind words. I am still pretty fresh to the whole TH-cam thing though 😉
Great content/tips 🙏🏼
Love your content😍
ammm, PL filter??
Thank you for the info
Thank you Matthew; so very helpful. Do you always use flash on interiors,
Nope. For example the kitchen image at 3:30 was 100% ambient light. No flash used on that one.
Gold Matt!! Thank you!
Huge help
Very interesting Matthew. I'd not really give too much thought to the preference for longer focal lengths for some types of interior photography and the impact on depth of field. Do you ever resort to focus stacking?
Yes. Every now and then. That’s what I did in the image at 9:48
@@MatthewAPhoto Doh! Missed you saying that!
