✓ Free Online Intro Included
Real Estate, Condo & Airbnb Interior Photography
Keep architectural verticals plumb, hold clean exterior views through bright condo windows, and blend natural HDR and flash-ambient galleries.
Tilted doorframes, orange ceiling casts from mixed bulbs, and blown-out white condo windows immediately cheapen a property listing. This hands-on course covers two-axis tripod geometry, wide-angle composition without distortion, multi-exposure bracketing paired with ceiling flash bounce, and natural blending for Toronto MLS and short-term rental clients.

Core Capabilities Developed in This Course
Every learner starts from a different background. These are the core capabilities this course develops, paced to your goals across the sessions we plan together.
Multi-Bracket AEB Window Retention
Configure automated 3-to-5 frame exposure brackets at base ISO so dark interior shadows and bright skyline views both stay intact.
Flash-Ambient ('Flambient') Color Purity
Add a clean ceiling-bounce flash frame to neutralize mixed tungsten/daylight color casts on hardwood floors and stone countertops.
Natural Blending & MLS Delivery Standards
Merge interior brackets without crunchy grey HDR halos, whiten ceilings selectively, and export compliant web and print sets.
Course Syllabus
Core Concepts & Topics Covered
Below are the main concepts and topics covered in this course. In your Free Online Intro Session, we align the exact depth and number of sessions to your experience and goals.
Topic 01
Tripod Height, Wide-Angle Discipline & Room Angles
Place the camera in doorway corners that reveal spacious two-wall depth instead of bowling-alley three-wall distortion.
- Choosing 16–20mm vs 24mm focal lengths to prevent stretched furniture
- Adjusting camera height for kitchens, living areas, and powder rooms
- Pre-shoot room walkthrough: blinds, toilet lids, cords, and counter clutter
Topic 02
Exposure Bracketing & Lights-On vs Lights-Off Strategy
Program custom memory mode with self-timer + 5-frame AEB so single-press captures stay vibration-free and consistent.
- Setting 2-stop AEB steps at f/8.0 and ISO 100 on geared or ball heads
- Testing mixed pot-lights ON versus natural window light OFF
- Positioning camera angles to stay invisible in bathroom mirrors
Topic 03
Flambient Bounce & Dedicated Window-Pull Frames
Introduce a portable strobe or speedlight bounce to restore accurate paint, quartz, and timber colors alongside crisp window views.
- Neutralizing orange-blue color crossover with a single ceiling pop
- Exposing a dedicated 1/200s flash frame aimed to darken window glare
- Capturing 35mm–50mm lifestyle detail vignettes for Airbnb hosts
Topic 04
Batch HDR/Flambient Blending, Upright & Export
Process full property galleries cleanly in Lightroom and Photoshop with Guided Upright lines, ceiling masks, and standardized exports.
- HDR merge settings (Deghost Off) paired with Guided Upright verticals
- Ceiling desaturation masks that keep warm wood floors untouched
- Luminosity window-pull masking and TRREB MLS / Airbnb export presets

Program FAQ
Common Questions
Do I need expensive fast f/2.8 lenses or heavy studio strobes to start photographing listings?
No. Because interiors are shot on a tripod around f/8, an affordable 16–35mm f/4 (full-frame) or 10–18mm (APS-C) lens paired with a sturdy tripod and one compact speedlight or pocket strobe handles condos and homes cleanly. In our Free Online Intro Session, we review your current kit before starting.
How does the Free Online Intro Session work, and how many sessions will I need?
Every course begins with a Free Online Introductory Session where we review the core syllabus together, evaluate your current background and goals, and map out how many sessions you actually need and whether continuing Online ($69 CAD/hr) or In-Person ($99 CAD/hr) suits you best. Session count is never a rigid one-size-fits-all number; it adapts to your own level and pace.
Do I have to commit to a multi-session package, or can I get just the PDF guide?
There is zero upfront package commitment: live sessions are booked flexibly session-by-session ($69 CAD/hr online or $99 CAD/hr in-person). If you prefer a self-paced written guide instead of live coaching, a standalone $39 CAD PDF option can also be requested for this topic.
Are courses taught in English, Persian (Farsi), or bilingual?
Your choice: every session with Iman Adlkhah can be conducted 100% in English, 100% in Persian (Farsi), or naturally bilingual with industry terminology.
