Interior Shots: A Guide to Professional Lighting Techniques (Pro-Lighting)

There is a great demand for interior shots; hotels and restaurants need to sell their images in brochures, interior designers need to sell the layman a lifestyle, companies worldwide need to sell furniture, appliances, fabrics and so on.
All of these depend on an interior to feature in some way, whether housing the product in question, or as the star of the shot itself. Yet every time, the style of that interior, the arrangement of the props, and, most important, the lighting set-up will be different; there has to be an ambience that suits the product that is being sold, and which fits the image of the whole.
The only common factor to all interior shots, however, is the absolute necessity for the lighting to be as suitable to the shot as possible. Whether creating warm streaks of sunlight, or the bright glow of neon, the most important thing is that it should look completely natural to the person it is aimed at. This is, of course, often more difficult than it at first sounds.
Interior Shots offers over 50 world-class photographs depicting everything from a busy restaurant, shot from the outside looking in, to dalmatians watching TV! Many of the shots demonstrate solutions to the common problems which arise such as how to deal with an unwanted natural light source, ugly features such as electric power points, and how to avoid mirrors and glass in picture frames giving awkward reflections.
