It was October of 2007 when I launched the Photography For Real Estate e-book. Since that time it’s been very clear that the e-book medium is a great way to help beginning real estate photographers learn the craft and business of real estate photography. I get a huge amount of feedback from e-book purchasers that [...]

I’m a little late in posting today because besides caulking my windows for the winter, I’ve been trying to think of some way I can help stimulate the real estate photographer profession. Why? Because this morning Fed Chairman Bernanke came clean and admitted that unemployment will get worse before it gets better.
I decided what I’d [...]

Back in mid-August when I sent out the latest update to the Business of Real Estate Photography e-book update John Driggers of Adelaide, AU pointed out to me that he likes to read the PFRE e-books on his computer screen which is a horizontal format. Since the PFRE e-books are a vertical two column format [...]

Last night I finished the update to the Business of Real Estate Photography and as I’m writing this post the E-junkie update distribution software is sending out updates to everyone who has purchased this e-book. I have a handful of readers who have changed their e-mail addresses that I have to send the update to [...]

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 [...]
