If you’ve been utilizing a High Dynamic Range Imaging workflow for Architectural Photography, then this might be for you. The training I’ve created won’t be linked from this website so email me if you want details (read on for details).
The training is specific to implementing HDR techniques. It is in no way, shape or form about how to frame your shots or anything along the lines of the business of architectural photography.
I’ve posted a full 24 minute review of one HDR application that I use mostly for HDR Timelapse. The video is not as structured as my training course, but it at least lets you hear my voice and get a feel for a new application in the process.
I’ve been putting together video tutorials for the last two months behind the scenes and I’m creating more in the next few weeks as well. All revolving around various workflows and strategies for capturing and editing high dynamic range scenes typical with shooting architectural photography (especially interiors).
Many of my clients are rental companies that rent condos and homes along the florida beaches where I live. Some of my rental company clients encourage me to over crank their shots to brighten the rooms up as well as over saturate the scenes slightly to create an emotive feel (their terminology, not mine). Hence why you’ll see some very heavily processed shots in this 120 image sample gallery of employing HDRI for Architectural Photography.
Even though the various workflows I’ll cover will focus on architectural interiors, the techniques are applicable to virtually any high dynamic range scene. I’ll also be covering landscapes and shooting / editing HDR Timelapse. This is an example of some HDR Timelapse I shot over the last year.
If you are interested in receiving notification about the training when available, email me using the email at the bottom of this page (from my main site) and title the email HDR Training or something similar.
I’ll be covering various workflows using various applications so it would be helpful if you tell me what operating system you primarily work on (Mac / PC and what version of operating system like 10.6 for OSX or say Windows XP Pro for PC). Also include what apps you currently use for typical raw processing workflow and what version of photoshop you are using as well as any 3rd party HDR plugins or applications you use.

Hi Michael!
How can i get acess to your videos ?
Your photos and videos are awesome. I am absolutely interested in your HDR training for Architectural Photography. I am a professional video editor, and I do lots of photography as well. My wife is an architect, and she gets me to photograph the houses that she designs, so I am always looking for ways to do this better. I have a Canon 5D camera, and I typically edit my photos with Aperture. For HDR, I have Photomatix 4 and Photoshop CS4. I work on a 15 inch MacBook Pro, running Mac OS 10.6.4
HDR Training. Interested

I’d be most interested in this architectural training. Especially on how to produce natural looking images like when using Exposure Fusion but with an HDR workflow.
Many thanks and great work!

Hey Michael,
I’m interested in the HDR Architecture training. I’m on a Mac Pro (8 core), CS5, Photomatix plugin for PS, Noiseware noise reduction, Topaz Adjust 4, OnOne Suite 5. Definitely interested in your workflow. Let me know.
Thanks,
Peter
I’m not interested in the video, but on a very in depth HDR tutorial for architectural and real estate.
I am on a Mac and threw HDR out the window long ago. If I can however get clean images easily and I all ears. From the software to how to deal with color cast, etc I’d love to know.
I am really looking for the perfect workflow to get “atticfire” images honestly. I think they are doing hand blending and using black cloth to isolate the ambient light and have studio lighting in each room. That being said, if there are a bazillion windows, HDR sure would come in handy. (or just shoot at dusk).
Looking forward to learning more,

Interested. I’m using Mac OSX 10.6, Photoshop CS5 Extended, Photomatix Pro(NO PHOTOSHOP PLUGIN), Lightroom 3, and EnfuseGUI (I like Photomatix better). I’m eager to make a career doing this and I’d love to learn from the person I consider to be the master.
I’d love to hear more on your HDR Tutorial for architectural work.
I’m using several different Macs, running anything from Adobe PS3 and OS10.5
to Adobe PS% and OS10.6.
I’d love to be able to spend less time in post doing hand blending via layers if I could get around the ghosting issues and be able to better blend ambient light sources as well.
Interested in your arch videos.

Hi Michael, I am keen to learn, practice and master your workflow mate.
Getting through your site at present – thanks for sharing your work with the world, very inspirational.
Sean (and others who opted to get emails from this thread)… I’ll be announcing the training in the next few days. However, it is not complete yet so I’ll also give a time table as to what is done and ready to download and view (videos) and what is to come shortly after. Pricing will be announced as well. Stay tuned.
I’ve noted emails from those who commented here or emailed me directly and a mass email announcement will be released (nobody’s email will be revealed and all will be blank copied).

I’m interested in the training you have available for HDR for Architectural Photography. Please email me the details to begin.
I am very interested in your training videos and was wondering if I could learn more about your techniques. I’m starting to do more architecture photography and mix in HDR techniques so any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,

HDR training
Late to the party, but is your training still available?
Hi Mike
I’d be glad to hear about your training – specific regard to the window pull technique you just demonstrated in your excellent webinar. Thanks
Hey John. Thanks for attending. The training videos are in
production. They show HDR Expose 2 and 32 Float, but I also use
another custom workflow for very difficult captures using LightRoom 4
to Photoshop. Easiest thing to do is just pop your email in this blog’s upper right hand column box. That’s a feedburner email for the RSS feed. Everytime i do a blog post you’ll get an email. That way when I announce the video training is done you’ll get an email and link to the blog post about it. I should be
done the last of the videos in about 7-10 days.
