When Flambient Crushes HDR (And Vice Versa)

Choose Flambient when:

  • The listing screams “move-in ready emotion”—think cashmere throws and oak grain.

  • Mixed LED + tungsten would turn HDR into a color nightmare.

  • You charge $800–$2,500/shoot; clients pay for that editorial edge.

2025 speed hack: Trigger Godox XPro in TTL, then switch to manual for one perfect flash frame—skip bracketing entirely.

Choose HDR when:

  • Shooting 30 identical condos before noon.

  • Windows face direct equatorial sun (Vietnam noon glare = HDR’s playground).

  • Budget caps at $150/package—no flash kit allowed.

Pro move: Enable Canon R6 II’s HDR PQ for 10-bit in-camera merges—zero software for basic MLS.

Conclusion

In short, for individual and high-volume MLS brokers, HDR combined with AI batching is still the king of speed. Meanwhile, boutique units score points with Flambient (or hybrid) for up to 40% more fees. And for professionals who want to be ahead of the curve? Master both—on and off like a light switch.
