I often get asked what kind of equipment I use for Real Estate Photography, and what to recommend to others. Here’s what I have in my portable studio kit:
- Pelican Case 1520
- Canon 50D with the Canon 10-22mm lens
- Canon 30-85mm lens
- Canon 580exII external flash for onboard use
- Several diffuser heads
- Nikon 80DX speedlight (flash) for remote lighting
- Nikon 28DX speedlight
- Nikon 24 DX speedlight x2
- 2 radio transmitters & optical trigger
- 6 radio receivers
- Lens cleaning supplies
- Spare battery & charger
- Spare rechargeable batteries
- Spare compact flash & SD cards
- 3 lightweight tripods
- 1 camera tripod
- 1 Nikon light stand and umbrella
- Canon G11 for exteriors
- Customized Telescopic pole
Believe it or not, I haul this to every home that I photograph, and often make use of all of it! That’s over $7000 worth of equipment—but of course, we think the expertise to use it is invaluable 
.
When I’m done with all that, it’s time to upload about 1.5 GB worth of photos onto my computer. Here is what is in my post-processing kit:
- Photoshop Lightroom
- Photoshop
- PT Lens
- Photomatix
- Slideshow Pro
- Several third party add-ins for Lightroom
- Yousendit Pro Account
- 2x 1TB external hard drives
As you’ve probably guessed, I love to talk photography, cameras, equipment and process with anyone who is interested. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away.
