Shooting hotel rooms and condos
Hi all,
I will be shooting some still photography (Canon digital Rebel camera) next week and I have the following lights for use: - Kino Flo Diva 400. -2 Tota Lights with 500/750 watt lamps. -1 Omni light with what I believe is a 400w lamp. I will be shooting this with daylight coming in the windows. Can anyone suggest which lights I should take along? I don't think the Kino Flo is necessary, correct? I am a newbie here. |
What will be your subject(s), Nick? The rooms themselves? People in the settings?

Hi Ken!
Just rooms...no people...nada. Just rooms and furniture. |
I'd be inclined to bring the Totas and Omni, as you supposed. I'd also bring some CTB gels (since you'll also have natural light) and maybe a piece of black foil in case you find a need to build a makeshift snoot for the Omni to highlight a specific element closely.
Have fun! |
Okay Ken,
Here's the result of an interior shot I did with the lights...not sure what to think. I think I like it....except, those shadows behind the lamp are bad.. http://www.7thcode.com/inertiatours/bed1.jpg Here's an exterior for fun: http://www.7thcode.com/inertiatours/view2.jpg |
Wow, colorful room, eh?! Did you shoot this for a hotel brochure or other promotional material?

Hey Ken,
I shot it for some student travel agency that sells vacation packages in Texas. Used a bit of photoshop in that picture... OH, I had a problem with a 750W lamp on the Tota. Here's my post in the PHOTON section: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30046 Thanks! |
