Hi Andrew! Just stumbled into this video and though that was very insightful and helpfull. I'm thinking about starting to do real estate photography and i was wondering if 24mm is too narrow to start? I already a have a Canon Eos RP with the kit lens (24-105mm) and a tripod. Also what lens do you recomend to buy(wider and affordable) when i earn some money?

Thanks Francisco! 24mm might work in some situations, but I think you'll want to have something that goes a little wider (e.g. 16mm, or at least 20mm) to capture more of certain rooms, smaller spaces, etc. Canon makes an RF 14-35 f/4 lens that would probably work great with the RP for that purpose, i.e. if you don't want to spend the money on the RF 15-35mm f/2.8.

You might be able to get by with one RAW photo in some cases (i.e. less extreme conditions in lighting), though you'll lose detail in the shadows and highlights compared to any form of bracket (3 5 shots). Also, since the HDR look often depends on heavier adjustments to those areas.

In my opinion, the HDR technique may appeal more to beginners who don't mind unnatural colors and are willing to spend time adjusting window pulls. On the other hand, using a flash demands greater skill and practice, but ultimately results in higher quality and more easily editable final images compared to HDR.

@andrewsaraceni

Good points, it's definitely a matter of preference. I know a couple photographers who've been doing real estate for years that moved to doing HDR from flash mostly as a time/effort saver (though for higher-end homes, they'll still do flash/flambient). There's certainly pros and cons to each.

The 10-18mm f/4 is really an APS-C lens, and the a7S III is only 12 megapixels at full frame. So you'd probably either want a higher resolution body that can do APS-C crop mode, or a wide angle full frame lens for the a7S III.

When choosing for the 16-35 photography will be great as you mentioned, but when going in to 4k 60fps it starts to crop. Wont the new focal length be to cropped in for video’s?

No problem! Yes, 4K 60fps on the a7 IV would effectively make the 16-35mm a 24-52.5mm field of view, a 12-24mm would make it an 18-36mm effectively in APS-C crop mode. So you'd definitely get more latitude on the wide end with a 12-24mm, or you could just pickup a wider APS-C lens (e.g. Sony 11mm f/1.8) for that specific purpose.

For Andrew or anyone: On the topic of APSC lenses enabling uncropped 4K/60p video on the A7IV... my research for fast glass led me to the Sony 11mm f/1.8 and the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D, neither of which have I held or looked through. Anyone, please chime-in on these lenses and let me know if I'm on the right path or if there are better options or approaches. Also, I own the 16-35mm f/4 Zeiss and I'm wondering if I should abandon the pursuit of an APSC lens for the A7IV and just shoot 1080p full frame video for real estate? PS: I'm still in weekly therapy over Sony not including uncropped 4K/60p on the A7IV in 2022! My 2017 iPhone can shoot 4K/60p!!

Thanks Scott! If you're planning on doing 4K 60p in the a7 IV, the 11mm is a great option as you said. I'd also look into the 10-20mm f/4 PZ as that might give you a bit more versatility both in Full Frame and APS-C modes.

Thanks, check the links in my description below in this video, I have a bunch of recommendations for APS-C cameras like the ZV-E10 (e.g. PZ 10-20mm f/4 G, 11mm f/1.8, etc.).

I think that would work fine - I would look into either the 14-30mm f/4 or the 14-24mm f/2.8.

Thats the best video I have seen so far and very in depth. Great work. I also have a question? Can you use the 16-35m Sony Zeiss lense for shooting video as well or is it better to get another sony lense especially for shooting video?

@andrewsaraceni

Thanks! The Sony Zeiss 16-35mm f/4 would work equally well for video, especially real estate. The new Sony PZ 16-35 f/4 G is also worth looking at too in that price range.

I think you could probably get by with just the RAW photos, but the JPEGs aren't bad to have as a backup to pull a quick shot if needed.

whats your thought on older sigma 20mm f1.4 DG HSM? is it suitable to do the job?

I think it would be fine. One thing to keep in mind is you can't adapt filters to it, where you can with the Sony 20mm f/1.8 G.

Hi Andrew! I’m in the Philippines and I’m planning to get into the real estate photography business.. I have a sony a6000 aps-c for the body, and the 16-50 kitlens and a 30mm sigma. Now that I am going into the real estate photography business i fear that my lenses aren’t wide enough. I’m planning to purchase the samyang 8mm. Is it any good or do you have other budget e-mount lenses in mind to recommend? I chose the samyang 8mm because i heard its good for architecture photography. But another question, is architecture photography and real estate photography similar? Thanks a lot for the very useful tips Andrew! More power to you and your channel/business!

Thanks Marc! Check my links in the video description for some of my recommendations on APS-C lenses. I'd probably recommend something like the Sony PZ 10-20mm f/4 G or 11mm f/1.8 - i.e. something that gets you closer within the 16-35mm field of view. An 8mm would be a 12mm field of view roughly, which is good but may be a bit too wide for certain shots. Architecture and real estate photography are similar but have their differences. e.g. Architecture focuses more on the artistic, unique characteristics of rooms, the house with the landscape, etc., while real estate is more a general depiction of the overall space to sell the house. Might be a good topic for a future video. 🙂

Wow, this is so timely as I’ll be doing a real estate job for the 1st time (about the only paid photo work I haven’t done). Just 1 question: do you really keep steady shot on using the tripod? Did I understand that correctly? I rarely use tripods but everyone says to shut off stabilization. Whatever you say ‘cause you’re the only 1 I trust on YT. And thanks - this tutorial is a godsend!

@andrewsaraceni

No problem, Ben! I appreciate that. I actually leave stabilization on for my cameras even when on tripods - never noticed it having any negative impact. Though I do think it'd be okay without it on (just bearing in mind the timer if hitting the shutter button). Good luck on the job!

Hi Andrew, really good video and great tips. I just want to share my experience with you and others based on what you said in this video. 1. Tripod is always good to have but i almost never use it because i lose time and it's not worth it unless it's a very expensive home where you get paid enough to use it. 2. I don't see the reason to do 5 brackets with 2 stops increments, firstly because you shorten the lifespan of your shutter and secondly because todays cameras have extremely good dynamic range so why not take advantage of it ? I use 3 brackets with 1 stop diff for luxury homes ( 50 mil. +) for years and the result is great. 3. Your shutter speed can go as low as 1/10 handheld without blur. You can limit your shutter time limit incamera so it never goes below that value. 4. The ISO ca also be on auto with limit to 1600 to your camera. People seem to forget that these new cameras are way better that what we used 10 years ago but we seem to use the same settings like we had a Nikon d90. The reality is that if you want to make money out of this bussiness, you need to do things fast with above average results for 98% of the times. This is why you need to automate as much as possible, like iso(1600 max), min shutter speed and go handheld because your camera can actually stabilize well enough. Just my 2cents. Keep up the good work ! Cheers

@@johnryan296 Reality is that you have to also adapt to your market. If the average cost is 200 per home, then you have to come up with ways to reduce your costs and time (on site and post). This means you can go handheld(no tripod), create presets, deliver less photos (20, 25 max). This is what you need to do if you want to win money out of this activity. You will see 1% that charge more but you can never charge more and get paid if you dont have a heavy portofolio, years of experience and your website/social media flooded with real estate work so people actually see you as a "specialist".

I use the 12-24mm and find that having more width than 16mm in property is actually really helpful.

​@@andrewsaracenifor sure buddy, I agree it can be too wide in many cases. generally i shoot 14mm and above, but 12mm is awesome for really tight spaces like w.c etc. I'm based in the UK as well where housing is generally more segmented and smaller. Nearly everything is shot at 13-15mm range. 16mm is just not wide enough for much of the property sadly.
