Commercial Photography Lighting Techniques: Example 8

Equipment Used
* Canon 1ds * 24mm tilt shift * 24mm ISO100 f10 .3sec

* 16″ Reflector (Beauty Dish), about 15′ behind the subjects
* 7″ Reflector, as high as stand will go pointed at ceiling

Shooting interiors is always challenging, but before setting up the lighting there three things that are very important to assess before you start.

1. What is the purpose and goal of the photography session
2. What commitments did you project to the client and what expectations do they have
3. What is the budget or how much time do you have

Since I was hired for this shoot by a magazine the purpose is to create feature and ad photography for their client East Moon Asian Cafe. The restaurant had a limited budget which allowed for 2 hours of photography time. » More Interior photography lighting

This room is about 12′x14′ with a dining room table in it, we did not have much space to light the subject and background separately! This is an area where the beauty dish shines. » More Speedotron Brown Line and Beauty Dish
