Photographing ‘N Sync Member Chris Kirkpatrick’s Home (with High Resolution Photos)

January 2, 2016 by ianroth

I don’t talk about the people who own the homes I photograph simply because it would not be professional of me to do so. Owners of multi-million dollar homes value privacy over nearly anything else in their lives and I respect that. Having some kid go off and post on the internet about the sterling … Read more

La Bellezza Dorata

July 17, 2014 by ianroth

I had such a good time shooting this home! I spent two days photographing the home due to the rain and clouds that move in from time to time here in Florida. Actually, the homeowners started making fun of me because I showed up on what seemed like a perfectly sunny day and the clouds followed … Read more

Overjoy Lifestyle Video

July 16, 2014 by ianroth

So here’s a video that I recently shot with Stockworth Realty Group. This is one of the first videos I have done where we really made an effort to get people in the video and make it more of a “lifestyle” video as people seem to be calling it. I think the result was well worth … Read more

Modern Home in Thorton Park for Stockworth Realty Group

May 21, 2014 by ianroth

It’s funny how things work out from time to time. When I first got into shooting luxury real estate, I had a few homes I had seen on the Realtor.com in the Orlando area that I thought would be fun to shoot. Well, this is one of those homes. It’s modern, well built, and extremely … Read more

A Home Named Overjoy

May 16, 2014 by ianroth

Overjoy. This is the name given to this contemporary masterpiece of a home. I spent three days in this home photographing the interior rooms, exterior, and the details that make this home so unique. There are so many homes I go into that have incredible features, top-of-the-line appliances, and a prime location but it’s rare … Read more

My Latest Adventure: Luxury Real Estate Photography

January 27, 2013 by ianroth

Just the other day I got an opportunity to do something new. Whenever I get a chance to photograph something new, I jump on it. I am now photographing luxury real estate in Orlando. This particular house is $5,000,000 and is located in a private golf community in Orlando. Let me know what you guys think of the photos! I only got to photograph the interior, but I have a shoot this week where I will be doing both interior and exterior photographs. I’ll be sure to post photos from that shoot when they are done.

The main technique used for interiors photography is a lot of HDR. I layered between 3 and 9 exposures per image in this shoot and the lens I used was a Canon 17-40mm f/4L on a Canon 5D mark ii body. If you have any questions about the photos, tweet me or post on my facebook wall and I’ll reply as soon as I can.

Capaciously Contemporary for Isleworth Realty

January 24, 2013 by ianroth

This is the second home I have every really photographed, and it was definitely intimidating to shoot. This home is just over 6,000 square feet on the world-renown Isleworth golf course and lakefront on the Butler Chain. The way I prepped for a shoot like this when I had never done anything like it was … Read more

Instagram to Sell Your Photos Without Compensation

December 18, 2012 by ianroth

When Facebook acquired the popular photo-sharing app Instagram a few months back for $1 billion, many argued the deal didn’t make sense because they were buying a company that essentially made no money. Well, it looks like the new terms of use aim to solve that problem at the expense of the users.

The new terms of use state that, “you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any

How I Started Photographing Concerts (and how you can, too!)

December 16, 2012 by ianroth

Whenever I’m out photographing a concert, I have people come up to me and say, “Dude, how did you get to take pictures at this show? This is like my favorite band!” The answer is really less complicated than some make it seem. If you want to take photos at concerts, all it takes is a little bit of effort on your part. Record labels aren’t going to call you up and ask you to come shoot their shows (although I have had that happen once or twice).

The key to getting in to photograph concerts is having a news outlet for the photos

Learning From Your Photos: The Immediate Key to Better Photography

December 2, 2012 by ianroth

The other day I was doing product photos when I realized something that I did well. I learn from every single photograph that I take. I would take a photo, look at it, and then make changes to improve the shot. I believe this is a key that every photographer needs to learn. I’m going to walk you through the photos I took from the first to the last and point out what I did in each photograph to improve from the one before. Alright, time to go Darwin on my photos!
