I wanted to give everyone an update on what I’m doing with my real estate photography e-books.

April 6th, 2009

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’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.

Real Estate imaging is About Quick and Good– Sometimes not Perfect

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.
