Interior photography is a challenging but fun genre that takes a combination of techniques to produce successful images. This helpful video tutorial will show you a range of tips and techniques on how to shoot and edit interior photos.
Coming to you from Becki and Chris, this great video tutorial will show you a variety of tips and techniques for shooting interiors, including compositions, the gear you need, pitfalls to avoid, and a lot more. Interior photography is one of those deceptively tricky genres in which you can quickly learn to make technically passable images, but in which it takes a lot more to create truly compelling photos. No matter your personal style and approach, it will call on a variety of shooting techniques and editing skills, which means that even if it is not your primary genre, it can be a great way to build skills that will transfer to whatever you normally shoot. Try taking an afternoon and shooting your own residence. Check out the video above for the full rundown.

I approach my interior shoots in a similar manner but shoot tethered with Capture One, it simply makes it easier to confirm that I see the little things and I can have confidence that I've captured everything on my shot list. And don't forget the bubble level on the hotshoe so you don't have to correct it and crop into an image later.
Wow. I feel like a pro interior photographer now. I now know all the tricks in the book to excel in that field.
Fun aside. Exceptionally good video. Clear, to the point and with good before and after examples to complement the narrator. Loved it.
Great video. Well done.
Becki - At 1'50" you worry about reflected highlights off the floor - but have you tried a polarising filter? They work great for interiors just as much as exteriors and can put colour and contrast back into a variety of surfaces including glass fronted pictures, highly polished kitchen surfaces, green leaves, some furnishing fabrics as well as reflective floor surfaces.
Sometimes you could just embrance it - "Country Life" magazine had a wonderful photographer who often would empty a buucket of water on the floor to create the effect !
