Photographic Training for Estate Agents in the South West - Devon, Cornwall, Somerset.

26/1/2017

Designed to support Estate Agents, Property Developers and Professional Property Photographers in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, this 3 part property photography course trains you or your staff in the basic principles of photography and how to use appropriate camera settings and techniques to create detailed, high quality images perfect for helping you sell and show off your properties.

We then hold a dedicated interior and exterior practical session looking at how to balance light and or flash overcoming scenarios with overly bright windows and too dark interiors. We also learn about how to use our cameras to take detail shots and images with a high dynamic range (lots of detail in the shadows and highlights) We cover the aesthetic considerations with preparing for the shoot and what to look for or avoid when setting up our shots. 

Finally, our editing session teaches how to add crucial finishing touches to really make your images shine.  Images will also be embedded with keywords for best SEO practices - helping your online profile rank higher in search engines. 

Essentially, all the tuition needed to get the best results when photographing interiors and exteriors.

Part 1 includes:

  • What camera settings to use and why
  • Working with available light
  • Shutter Speed
  • Aperture
  • ISO
  • Lens Markings
  • Camera Buttons and Functions
  • Depth of Field
  • Capturing Movement (frozen and blurred)
  • How Auto Mode Limits Creativity
  • Exposure Basics

Part 1 can be held either at your office or within a property you are managing, it is mostly camera and photography theory with practical tasks included.

In session two we would use a property you manage to take the camera settings we learned in session one and build on the theory to take a whole range of images with varying exposures. This allows us to capture the detail in the scene, including bright windows and dark interiors. We would need a tripod, flashes and a wide angle lens for this session (between 10-24mm would be good) I can provide the flashes if you would like to try them before deciding what kit to invest in. - I can also provide a buying list based on our session.

Part 2 includes:

  • Practical shooting on location
  • Taking detail shots of characterful elements
  • Taking wider shots of rooms
  • Looking out for distractions
  • Shooting with the best angles
  • Using flash to light the scene
  • Balancing flash with natural light
  • White balance for accurate colours
  • Getting everything in focus 
  • How to take the best quality images
  • Learning how to bracket for multiple exposures
  • What you can prepare to make life easier (spare bulbs, blankets, fake flowers etc.)
  • Paperwork you can provide to the home owner to make the shoot flow better 

Session 3 is all about post production, bringing your photos together and maximising the detail in your shots. We also embed your keywords at this stage. 

Part 3 includes:

  • Distraction removal
  • Merging exposures
  • Best SEO practices and metadata embedding
  • Basic image adjustments
  • Colour correction when there are multiple light sources.
  • Lens distortion correction when using wide angle lenses
  • Renaming and resizing images for use online and in print
  • Creating a consistent workflow

This software is not free so you would be looking to make an investment in your photography which is at the time of writing this £9.89 per month. (it's going up soon!) 

All sessions come with a private log in to my online membership with uploaded infographics, resource pool and 1-2-1 worksheets.
​Any videos we take for reference will also be uploaded here for easy viewing.

Pricing

For one person and all three workshops - £507 plus fuel
Each additional person will be £253.50 for all three workshops. 


For one person and one workshop the fee is £169 plus fuel costs, additional attendees are £84.50 per person.

The location of this workshop is agreed at the time of booking but I would suggest, if possible, we used one of your current properties with full permission of the owner or your own home so that we can make your session as realistic as possible. 

If you have any questions please do get in touch, fill in our enquiry form below if you would like to sign up for these workshops.
