Getting Started In Real Estate Photography

with Thomas Grubba

Get started in real estate photography with Thomas Grubba, a San Fransisco based real estate photographer. From assessing the property to the basic gear, Thomas starts you off at the very beginning of how to approach a real estate photography shoot. Working through each room, as well as the exterior, Thomas takes you step-by-step through his process for getting the best story-telling compositions, as well as his thoughts on how to light each room. Once the shooting is done, join Thomas back in the studio for a look at his post processing workflow. Thomas wraps up the class with a primer on how to start a real estate photography business, the basics of his business model, and the importance of using contracts to protect your copyright. The goal of this class is to show you how to develop an efficient workflow that will deliver consistent results, and by the end of the class you’ll be ready to go! BUY COURSE
