Using strobe to create a warm and inviting look to this business lounge - Sheraton Link

In this image I want to share an example of what a strobe lit interior space looks like. I have used a single strobe to light up the space in multiple angles to bring up the exposure to reveal shadows and texture. There are times when the ambient light is just perfect, but in this image notice how dark the space is without the strobe. The difference is simply amazing! This is one of the main reasons why I choose to use strobes in architectural shoots. This technique elevates the images. It is definitely a time consuming process setting up the lighting and blending them in post. But, it is worth it!!

How to achieve good results when photographing interiors?

I get asked this all the time. Why do I use strobes when photographing an interior space? Although ambient life is a go to for many photographers, there are times I utilize strobes in order to achieve results to show color and detail. In this image, though there was large glass window letting in ambient light, I needed to add a little pop of light to bring out the color of the furniture and fill in the shadows a bit.
