Real Estate Photography - Blending Flash and Ambient Images in Photoshop

Are you looking to take better real estate photos?  Good real estate photos are essential when trying to sell a home.  In this video, I’ll show you a technique I’ve been using to blend a Flash image with an Ambient image in Photoshop to create a great looking final image.  

Its no secret that almost all home buyers begin their search online.  If images of a home are not appealing to the buyers, they quickly move on to the next home.  However, with good real estate photography, there is a better chance that a potential buyer will look at the home online and move to the next step in the process - actually reaching out to a Realtor to see the home.  

For this technique, you will need a well exposed image of the room or space using only ambient light.  You will then take the same image using the flash, on camera or off camera, to expose the room.  These two images will then be brought into Photoshop and blended together to create an evenly exposed image that will only require a few minor tweaks to reach the final image.  

Of course there is no ‘right way’ to do real estate photography, this is just what has been working for me and I’ve had good results.
