Lighting

Finally, we get to break out those photo-strobes you’ve been waiting to use. If you fancy yourself to be a purist commercial photographer—a “lighting artist” of sorts—then you may want to bail now. Abort, abort. This quick, down and dirty form of image acquisition will not be to your taste. If on the other hand you need to accurately and attractively represent an interior architectural space—in a hurry—then, please, read on.

Our two previous steps: the natural light and artificial light exposure brackets create the crumb of our cake—the basic structure. It’s tasty, but it’s not complete. This step: the strobe-fill exposure creates the cake icing that pulls it altogether, makes it presentable, covers over any irregularities, adds its own structure and definition and transforms a stack of sweet cake-y stuff into a beautifully iced cause for celebration.

Most of the hard detail work we’ll do during post-production compositing. On location we just need to create enough fill light in all the right areas so that we have the basic icing to spread and smooth out in post-production.

But, really, can’t we just get by with all of those bracketed exposures from the first two steps above?
