Architectural photographers must make the best of whatever situation they are faced with, and interior photographers are often faced with such situations. Rather than strip (Photoshop) a spring or summer photograph into the window, I decided to overexpose the outside view and give the room a light airy look. Soft fill light was provided by electronic flash bounced into two large (60”) white umbrellas.

When photographing any project, architectural and interior photographers must always use great care and try to be as unobtrusive as possible. This is especially true when working in an occupied private home. Due largely to the trust and rapport between the young family of six who live in this home and the interior designer, we were allowed complete access to the home and worked from 8:00am until 10:00pm for two days to complete eighteen interior photographs.
