FLAMBIENT vs HDR
HDR - HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE
Involves taking multiple exposures of the same scene - each capturing different levels of brightness - and blending them into one image. This technique reveals details in both the very bright and very dark areas, making it ideal for scenes with a wide range of light.
FLAMBIENT
Combines ambient (natural or existing) light with a controlled flash. The flash illuminates the subject to enhance detail and reduce harsh shadows, while the ambient light preserves the overall mood and atmosphere. This approach results in a balanced image that maintains natural lighting with improved subject definition.
WHY FLAMBIENT?
SUMMARY
Flambient creates a a much higher-end final image for interiors to impress your buyers, which is why it's worth the extra time and effort.
​
HDR is a great option for exterior photos.
​
DETAILED EXPLANATION
Flash provides an even distribution of light and color tones throughout the room, while still allowing for a natural look from the ambient photo. This results in professional, consistent, and high-end final images.
​
HDR, while faster and easier to shoot, often results in uneven color tones from light bouncing around the room (e.g. window light reflecting off a wood floor can cast an orange hue on white walls). This results in more complicated post-processing workflow to fix the color, and generally results in less appealing final images. HDR also has a tendency to have an unnatural appearance from blending so many exposures together.
​
HDR is still a great option for exterior photos, but flambient is the best option for high-end interior images that will impress potential buyers.
