In this photo editing tutorial, we'll take a look at how to edit interior architecture photography. I'll share my complete photo editing workflow for creating high-end images for architects and designers. We'll use a kitchen photo as an example to demonstrate the power of luminosity exposure blending to create high dynamic range photos manually in Photoshop. We'll also look at how we can use a plugin to add more pop to our images so we can stand out in our market and get paid more.
The key areas we'll address in this video are:
Apply a preset that will boost up shadows and drop the highlights for a proof version
* Build your lens correction into this preset too
Correct the white balance
Correct the perspective of the verticals and horizontals using transform guides
Adjust the tones (highlights, shadows, whites and blacks) to create a more realistic version
Bring your base layer and versions to control the highlights into Photoshop as smart objects
Use the "Apply Image" command to create a luminosity mask for the layer controlling the highlights
Retouch the photo to remove unwanted marks and abnormalities
Run a powerful AI filter (Luminar 4) to create a unique high-end look

Great news for the architecture photography fans out there. I've now set up a dedicated channel bit.ly/ATArchitecture you're welcome to subscribe for free training if that's your thing! See you there :)
Thanks for this video! I am returning to professional photography after a long hiatus serving in the military... I studied photography in college and worked for about 8 years as a commercial photographer before taking a different path for the last 17 years. When I left, photoshop was somewhat taboo outside artistic photography and graphic arts and everything was mostly done IN camera with lighting corrections using gels on windows and lights as well as your supplemental lighting, and film balanced for various lighting and filters on your lenses. Today, in commercial photography if you don't know photoshop you're just a guy with a camera and I thank you for creating this video! I am passionate about architectural photography and have gazed at many modern photographers work that has that lovely smooth tone and crisp images without that dreadful HDR look, and your video here explains how to get there. Thanks again! ♥
Bro i'm speechless knowing this technique.... Thank you so much!
Awesome 👌

Thank you so much for showing this blending option.. have been doing most of the masking manually... You just saved me hours of editing work. Love your videos...
Thank you Biju. I'm really glad this helped. I still remember when I first learnt this technique and what a time saver it was for me.
Thanks for all the amazing content. I love all the videos you do regarding architecture photography.
Thanks Kimberly
Great vid!!! Learned a couple of things, Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, thanks for going through the whole retouching process. The result is very good. Bravo
Exactly what I was looking for. Thankyou!
No problem!
I shoot a lot of interiors and these types of videos are invaluable to me. I’ve learned a lot from you. Thank you!! Id love to see more and understand your approach to shooting available in regards to picking the right time of day etc. Thank you again!
Cheers Jeff. Okay, that's a very good topic. I'll put it onto my list (yes I do have a list) of requests and see what I can do for you. I appreciate the comment and suggestion 👍🙏
Can you give me your id. ?
Awesome lesson man! Learned a lot of neat Lr and Ps tricks. The N key to see multiple images at once, I'd never seen before. Not to mention all of the Ps blending. Looking forward to more architecture content!
Glad you liked it Jordan!
Man this is really an awesome video and very well detailed. Thank you mate! Cheers from México
Wow that's super useful! thanks for sharing your process!
You're welcome David.
I shoot real estate for a living. Over here we use another simpler version of what you're doing. It involves taking two shots. One flash and one ambient version. The flash sets the color to 5500 kelvin and the ambient gives you natural light patterns. In lightroom choose "open in photoshop as layers". Put ambient on top with an inverted mask set to luminosity. And paint on the natural light. We call it "Flambient" It's fast and very beautiful.
Thanks for the info. I do work that way on occasion. It just depends on the gig. But, yes you're absolutely right, the results with the flambient technique can work really well.
this was am absolute 10/10 video! thanks for sharing!
Wow, thanks Rich! Gotta love a good 10/10 review! 🙏
I love architecture photography! Please make more of these videos
Hi David. I'll be sure to do some more in the future. I'm even considering going all out and creating a bespoke course on the topic. Seems like a lot of people want to know more on architectural photography.

a beginner in architecture this video helps me a lot in my editing processing in the future and I am in for more video like this. Well done. Just subscribed.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
just found your brilliant tutorial referenced by someone on Upwork who wants retouching done on their images like you do it. So I watched it to learn something new. Really love the technique you are using for blending highlights and darker values!
Thank you 😊. You'd probably like my architectural photography channel. I think the link's in the description...
Thank you , It’s a great video for beginners in real estate photography, I hope you have more video about it.🙏🏻
Thank you!
Nice one and its very useful to me as a beginer, thank you buddy...
Happy to help
Hi Anthony. . I just "stumbled" over this video and I think it´s really very very good. This is actually the first time I´ve seen the "Apply Image" method used -- amazing. I´ve seen quite a lot of videos on architectural post-processing -- yours really stands out from the crowd.
Thanks for being so pro and into detail ! just suscribe :)
Cheers Jason. Much appreciated.
Thank you for taking time to show how you do this, Amazing amount of work and knowledge of Photoshop! As a part time real estate photographer, I would never be able to understand all of the Photoshop complexities. One thing I never do though is shoot vertical in real estate. However I will try this in the future. And yes do more architecture vids! I watched every second of this one!
Hi Lonnie! Yes, I always give my Architect and Designer clients some vertical shots and also make sure I get at least one or two "hero" shots in that orientation so they have the option for the front cover of a magazine if they're having their work published.
is it a rule in architecture or realestate photography to shoot mainly in horizontal!?
Please keep doing architecture videos!
Thanks Shawn. I'm seeing a theme with the requests I'm getting. I'll try and do some more architectural photography vids soon.
great job mate.
Thanks!!! I've got more content like this over at my other channel: bit.ly/ATArchitecture I'd recommend subscribing to that one as that's where all my future architecture editing videos will be released going forward.
Thank you! I learned a great amount from this video. Subscribed... and looking forward to more. I guess I'll have to get Luminar 4 now.
Welcome aboard Fran! Yes, it's a really good addition to any photographers editing tool kit. 😀
As a beginner in to architecture world, this video help me a lots in my editing processing in the future and I am in for more video like this. Well done. Just subscribed .
Glad I could help! Thanks for the sub Suong Le.
good stuff
BLESS YOU for this video!!! i have so many problems with blending my exposures and it looking blotchy. i cant wait to watch this especially since you dont throw light, ive been contemplating buying a $800 flash but this has convinced me its not needed!!!
Thanks for you kind comments Khadijah. Really glad the videos have been helpful :)
Nice video!
Thanks for the visit
Hi Anthony. Really enjoyed the video and picked up some great tips. I love architectural photography. Subscibed, thanks.
Great stuff. Thanks Martin
This is great!
Thanks Robert. You're great 👍
Great information Anthony, thanks alot. I use mostly LT and PS for blending ambient/flash images but after this video I must try to change my workflow a liitle bit I think and use more exposure blending and use more Luminar.
Glad it was helpful Paul! Flambient technique certainly has its place. I really like this approach for architects and designers who want a bit more authenticity to how they designed the lighting in the property. Cheers for the comment!
You are amazing ,thank you ,very well explained and you make it look easy ..thanks..huge fan ..
Thanks Victor. Means a lot 🙏
@@AnthonyTurnham watching everything you do ,do you take questions tho? If is too much I understand..
There are so many technics that I was doing that were tedious and inefficient compared to yours! Thank a lot Anthony!
40 minutes was well worth it and flew by quickly :-)
Good to hear. Thanks 😀
Nice explanation 👍
Thanks 🙂
Great tutorial.. I am an Architect by profession and beginning with Architecture photography. Thank you for the tutorial.. I would love to see more videos on this topic
Glad it was helpful! I'll be doing more in the future for sure! I'm interested, why the switch from being an architect to a photographer? I only ask cos I often think I'd love to be an architect - or perhaps just the design aspect but without all the harder technical stuff that goes into a build 😀😜
Thank you !
You're welcome!
Awesome video, I didn’t use apply method for this kind of photos
I probably would have got rid of the blue hue on the cabinets but that image looks incredible. Didn't realize you could achieve a look like this without flash, you have gained my sub. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks for the comment and the sub :)
I do mostly real estate, but also some interior design work. Love you videos and would like to see more along the same lines.
Thanks Tom. All my architecture focused videos are now being posted to my new channel: bit.ly/ATArchitecture So I'd recommend subscribing to that one for this type of content.
Thank you very very very much. I'm an interior and architecture photographer from India and my my, this was an epic process. Though I couldn't follow it entirely, I've got a fair idea to sit around and experiment with my photos. I really do want to make them better. Will look at more videos in your channel. Subscribed already 🙂
You're very welcome Tourer!
Liked and Subscribed Anthony :) Thank you for the free lessons!
You're welcome Chloe! 😊
If architecture editing is your thing you'll probably like my dedicated channel... bit.ly/ATArchitecture Lots more free tutorials there.
good one.
Thank you! Cheers!
Covid has really derailed things for me. Recently graduated with an interior architecture degree and haven’t had any luck in the job market. You’ve been giving me inspiration to get into architectural photography 🙏🏼
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing! Tough times out there. Best of luck with the architectural photography. I'll try and get some more videos out soon.
same for me
Wow!!!!
really nice tutorial video, it will be interesting to work on the first photo ( with the view) to see how to process with 2 differents white balances (interior and exterior) , thank again for that video !
Thanks Jeremy. Yes, that's a good idea for a future video. Thanks!
Hey Anthony thanks for your videos, I learned a lot from you.
I saw a couple of videos where they advice to adjust the contrast with the graduation curve and you use more the contrast slider, can you tell the difference, or the pros and cons, I couldn’t find a video of you to this topic.
Thanks again and keep up with your great work!
half way watching this now.. many thanks for your time putting this. really helpful, can't wait to apply what learnt today. guided transform is really cool tool in LR to also do horizontal.. before it was headache with PS skew transform tool to get it right.. this is even when using tilt-shift lens!
Yeah, the guided transform is fantastic!
helpful video
Glad it helped
thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thanks again for a wonderful and invaluable video Anthony! This was so so helpful :) some things I'd love to know more about since you asked...!
Firstly, you're LR file management looks cleaner than mine, I create a new catalog for each shoot and use star ratings to organise my component and final images.. but even with that my catalogs often end up a jumble of flash/ ambient/ 2nd or 3rd photoshop edits. I'd love to know more about your use of stacks and smart objects in PS both of which I'm pretty ignorant about.
Also being fairly new to this freelance career I current just quote by the shoot or have a fixed rate with some clients but I definitely want to mature my pricing structure. I find the topic of licensing a bit daunting and my dyslexia makes it hard to read through dense articles. You're a great educator so any insight you can share would be so appreciated.
Again I can't thank you enough for these videos!
Hey thanks Lock. Nice to hear it's been helpful. I'll bare those points in mind and next time I put a video together I'll see if I can address some of those topics for you. And to be honest, I'm not really one for reading lengthy articles either!
Fantastic. Love how in-depth your videos are. What lens do you use
Thanks Brian. For architecture it's more often than not this one 📷 My Wide Angle Lens: amzn.to/3j9I1Vb. 16-35mm
I've got most of my gear listed in the description : )
Your videos are always to the point and informative.I always learn something new from you.Can i request you to teach more about HDR interior photo editing ? Thanks so very much
Thanks Lalatendu! I appreciate that. I got a comment yesterday saying I'd have more people liking my videos if I didn't talk so much! 😬
I'll keep your suggestion in mind for upcoming videos. Thanks
I don't actually shoot architecture myself, but there is some tips in there that I'll transfer over to my automotive work! Thanks very much.
Thanks Rich. I'm a fan of automotive photography. Nice work buddy. Glad there's some relevant techniques in there for you!
Definitely trying to get into architectural photography 😁😁😁
Give it a go Myles!
I’m a professional Illustrator and know my way around a camera fairly good, taken thousands of images. However I’m new to architectural photography and have a client who thinks based off my work that I’d be good at it. Fairly decent sized local construction company, so these vids are great. Any pitfalls or absolute no no’s to avoid would be nice to know. I know photoshop and Lightroom looks fairly easy to pick up. Nice work flow. I may have to upgrade some dries to handle the processing better. Thanks for the post!
Cheers Chris. Good idea for a video with those "things to avoid"". I'll see what I can do. Best of luck with the upcoming shoots!
Thanks so much Anthony!
