Photography For Real Estate

I wanted to give everyone an update on what I’m doing with my real estate photography e-books.
First of all, after offering a hard copy version of the Photography For Real Estate e-book for the last three months, I’ve decided to discontinue hard copy completely and only do electronic distribution from now on. Hardly anyone is [...]

Forgive me for being somewhat off topic today, but this is something that has been bothering me for a while and I like to hear how others feel about it.
I’m a long time subscriber to Architectural Digest, but over the last few months I’ve been reexamining the last three periodicals that I subscribe to (AD, [...]

I’ve decided to test the demand for a hard copy version of my Photography For Real Estate book. Up to this time it’s only been available in e-book form.
I’ve known for a while that many people would rather read a book the traditional way and not have to print the book themselves to do so. [...]

I just sent out download links to all Photography For Real Estate e-book subscribers. The download links were sent to the same e-mail addresses that were used to originally order the e-book.
Subscribers that come to me with a sob story that they didn’t get a update e-mail with a new download link better expect to [...]

I just finished sending out download links to everyone that has  purchased my Photography For Real Estate e-book. If you purchased the e-book and didn’t get a download link for the update look in your e-mail spam folder. The download mailing list is automatic so everyone that has ever paid for a e-book was sent [...]

I’ve been working hard this summer on the second edition of my Photography For Real Estate e-book. I’m going to make several improvements in both the content and the way I distribute this e-book:

Since we are on the subject of lighting I’ll point out one of the classic books books on lighting. This is one of those books that you will keep coming back to again and again. I first became aware of it a year or so ago from reading strobist.com because David referred to it as [...]

I’ve been reading Christian Bloch’s book, The HDRI Handbook, and finding it useful in learning HDR processing. Christian is a visual effects artist who works in Hollywood and has created effects for TV shows StarTrek, Invasion, Lost, as well as several movies. Christian’s book has a companion site at: www.hdrlabs.com/book. This site has some good [...]

It’s now ten weeks after I started distribution of the Photography For Real Estate e-book. It is very clear that demand for the e-book is very strong. I’m surprised, and gratified by the fact that it is selling well  worldwide. Around 50% of sales are in the US. Australia is a close second followed by [...]

My interview with Scott Sheppard at Inside Digital Photo is online on Scott’s site and it will be available via itunes in a few days by subscribing to the inside Digital Photo podcast.

OK, the Photography For Real Estate E-book is ready for purchase and download. Just click on the link ad on the upper left side-bar. That order link will stay there.
I’m using is Paypal for order processing. Paypal will handle purchases with major credit cards or your Paypal account. Paypal will handle all the conversions from [...]

Since before I started doing this blog two years ago I’ve been writing a book on real estate photography. The E-book has the same name as the blog: Photography For Real Estate. I am finally finished with it and I’ll be turning on the book order page this next Sunday 10/7. I’ve promised this book [...]

I just implemented a Photography For Real Estate Book Shelf. This is, a list of books that I’ve reviewed some time on a past post or one of the blog readers has recommended the book. The list has links to amazon.com and if you purchase any of these books by [...]

M. James Northen made some appropriate observations. My recent posts that give some references to info about the fine points of rather involved interior lighting should not be miss construed to mean that this is the way real estate photography is approached. On the contrary real estate photography must be done on a time scale [...]

I wanted to highlight Aaron’s recommendation of John Harrington’s book “Best Business Practices for Photographers“. Sounds like a great Photography business resource. This sounds like useful for real estate photographers.
