- That coveted "editorial look" is one that many photographers strive for. In this video I walk you through the shooting and editing of a living room space with the goal for that look in mind.
My name is Matthew and I'm an architecture & interiors photographer based in Kansas City.

We don’t deserve you Matt. You’re too good to us.
Every video you come out with has helped me develop my style and progress my work so much. It’s so valuable. I appreciate all of it.
If you ever feel like doing a beginner breakdown mini video, I would love to see some more of the steps/detail you used to remove color casting (with the black/white brushes). I know this technique isn't v advanced but I'd love to watch a video of it in photoshop and you're the GOAT! I do this same thing in lightroom with object selection and desaturation but I like your photoshop results here.
Just came across your channel. It’s refreshing to have information geared towards an audience that has moved beyond the beginner stages. Great tips in this one. I look forward to checking out more of your content.
Thanks as always Matthew! They remind me to slow down and simplify.
Just learned so much. Thank you. The table was perfect, it was the sofa cushions that were off.
love the description of the process and BTS
Very concise editing walkthrough 👍. Thanks for the video and tip relating to focal length for editorials.
I'm so happy that I've found your channel!!!! This information is very useful, thank you for sharing!!!!
I’m impressed! You managed to get the Samsung TV into Art mode.
Funny I just asked about this is one of the groups, you nailed it! Thanks Matt
Thank you for sharing. Love these kind of videos from you
I love your videos! Your photos are such a masterpiece :)
Cheers from Portugal
Gotta make sure you get that "Tom Ford" book in there :P somewhere Mike Kelley's ears are burning.
Oh he’s aware of this specific living room 🤣 I sent him an iPhone video of the space while zooming in on the Tom Ford books. The virus is spreading!!!
composition tips are suuuuuper helpful
You should do a deeper edit step by step! you are so good!
nice one, thank you. I enjoy your videos. I really must buy a large umbrella and 600w flash one day!!
Awesome shot!
Another cool video! Thank you!
Superb! Thank you for the video!!! Can you please make a tutorial on how to approach a scene with no natural light at all(like a bathroom with no windows). 🙏🏻
haha I just sent you some RAWs on IG today and was asking about the "fill light" situation with ambient vs flash. Prefec t timing on this video, a lot of good info
Very instructive, thanks.
Hey Matt, this was really informative so thank you for taking the time do run through this. Quick question for you, and maybe I will re-watch again just to fully wrap my mind around it but, when you're shooting this shot, you do your single "neural" ambient layer, then you stop down a few stops, and then go up a few stops? Totalling at around 4-5 ish photos, all ambient? Second question, is when you're setting up your directional light, would you say you're at full power to push those directional shadows further, or what would you say you're sitting at for power levels here? I've shot with strobes before but never with an octobox. After watching a bunch of videos of yours I'm thinking that might be the key to a softer, diffused look (without being too flashy) while still getting that direction. - Thanks
The amount of power needed from your strobe is mainly determined by your ISO and aperture, so there's really no one-size-fits-all answer to what your power levels should be. And the larger the light surface, the softer quality of light you're going to get. My 7 foot umbrella is going to create much softer light than my 3 foot octobox.
Very informative for professionals not like the 95% of bs beginner content on CZcams
I’m learning so much from your videos! How did you change the coffee tables to be more symmetrical?
Thank you for your videos! I'm just ventuing into the world of interior photogrpahy and you've trult helped me build a foundation of knowledge!
Thanks you
Thanks for your informative video . I do not understand what color efex pro can do which photoshop can’t .
On your flash shot, are you trying to match the ambient light or overpower it? Are you adjusting ISO or shutter speed on flash shot?
Where did the artwork above the fireplace come from? In the original images it was just the reflection of the black tv screen - is that a wallpaper playing on the screen?
I just found and watched your video here. The end result is looking great.
I shoot real estate for a living for the last few years and I am reeeeeaaaaally curious How much you charge or make an hour from a real estate shoot if you actually put this much time in to every shot. For me, this makes no sense (or money) at all to put in this much time and effort unless it’s just that one pic you’re selling.
I don’t shoot for real estate listings. This shot specifically was for an interior designer…it’s in the title
great!
Hi Matt -- a couple of questions! I struggle with white balance when adding flash. I use Paul C Buff Einstein lights - should I be shooting in AWB or Daylight? And then just include a color card and balance off that? Thank you!
Q: say, do you have stacked RAW (ARW) layers? work in Affinity and can (at least i guess so) just do 16 bit layers..cool stuff, like your approach!
Good video. I’m curious about the 7’ umbrella outside at left. Wouldn’t the light fall off quickly from the center coffee table to the right side of the photo rendering that right side pretty dark?
I'm curious about that too, like how much power are we pumping in to get an even cast.
@@BStephensonn well pumping more power will blowout the areas closest to the umbrella. I’m guess he used a lot of the ambient coming from the center-right window.
Agreed, that’s why I’m curious about your question as well:) I do know that he did tone down the highlights on the left a bit.
Nope! Not to get too nerdy here, but via the inverse square law...the amount of light falloff from center of the frame to the right isn't that drastic. The most drastic falloff occurs closest to the light source.
Why do most of these high end living room photos have a Tom Ford book on the coffee table?
Mainly to create nightmare fuel for Mike Kelley
Hi Mat, did you shoot in jpeg? SOC image says JPEG
The original shots are taken in raw format but exported from Lightroom to photoshop as jpegs
Why do you always block the windows with that black curtains? Isn't there any louvre in these luxury homes?
Not at this house
The main question is how to edit windows 😅
