I tell you what I actually do.

What’s in my course?

Simple. I teach you how to become a real estate photographer, starting with nothing other than a camera and a lens and no photos of buildings in your repertoire….

I my course I tell you

What real estate photography is

Well I wanted to start at the beginning, with the assumption being that you know nothing about it whatsoever. I hate courses where you start off not knowing the fundamentals.

No I start off at the very beginning.

What the business of real estate photography is all about

Having explained what real estate photography is I then explain the business side of real estate photography. This is from my own personal experiences, having worked for many clients over the years.

The gear that you need to be a real estate photographer

You do not need all the gear under the sun. You need what you need and no more. I tell you the gear that I use, and even show it all to you so you can see how things work and how the bits fit together

I wish I had known this back in the day, this would have saved me so much time and money and, and would have helped me getting going much much quicker.

The camera settings you need, and why

This is a biggy. In this lesson I explain every one of the main camera settings that I use. You can apply this knowledge to pretty much any camera system. When I explain the camera settings I also explain how and why.

This lesson is how to physically take real estate photos start to end. After this lesson you will know what you need to do, and more importantly how and why.

And this all from my my many years of practical, professional experience.

If you think that what I’m telling you to do is too simple then good. It has taken me many years to get through all the complicated stuff to get to where I am now, and I can get you straight to that point.

I have spent many years complicating things, and the more recent years simplifying everything to make life easier for me. And now you.

How to take real estate photos

Yes, how to take the photos. Both the technical side, and also the taking of the photos on location. What is it like on a real estate shoot? Well you will not know will you so I will tell you.

How to process real estate photos

Not only processing the photos, but how to look properly after all that important data. Data management is key to running any successful photography business.

How to market yourself and get work

Not obvious, but very important. You need to get work, and I tell you how to do just that.

How to stand out from other real estate photographers

My secret sauce that runs through the course that will make you stand out amongst all the other photographers.
