A Home Interior Study (Best view larger)

I suppose you are into interiors now and I am into models.

 

Good sideline shoots to keep us busy until our next trip to Burma.

 

Cheers!

Well it's a living. Gotta go with the flow Andrew.

I like your latest postings, Alec. I never would have thought of shooting interiors, but I guess there's a market there, too. I like the nice, even lighting you have in each one. Is it a lot of work to get the lighting right?

Definitely Kim. It's easier in a 5 star hotel as the ambient light and interior design layout is done with even lighting in mind and a tripod will get you a decent image. However, in a home, additonal lighting has to be set up in various places and energy output ratios balanced accordingly. If it is done right there will be no overexposed areas and shadow areas are also highlighted nicely. Shooting in daylight may also be a problem as the harsh sunlight may overexpose the trees. In this case, everything blends perfectly.

 

Digital makes it easier now then before with slides as you have to use a Polariod back to check for exposure.

Alec, I also like your new ventures into interiors. I have been interested in shooting such images myself. Apart from the fact that it is a different genre from portraits, I have found that a beautiful interior is just something else to behold. I like the reflection on the floor by the way and how the trees are so coloured.

Excelente trabajo, bello encuadre, perfecta luz y color con una magnifica composicion. un cordial saludo Alec.

Your new project, Alec? Is this also 6th Ave? Expensive area that can afford expensive decor. Your interior shots are all very well exposed. Also give as some idea of interior decoration.

Thanks Amar, Julio. Cherlyn, yes, this is in another location, a condominium in Grange Road. Here is a look at the other side of the hall with the window curtain closed.

Very good study,Alec. Are you moving into this condo :-)I pray,you do.What does the red calligraphy mean?

Alec- this is wonderful! Super light, super reflection on the floor. I love it!

Sircar, this is a condo of an expatriate family living in Singapore and was shot for an agency. Thanks for coming. Jayme, there is a market for home interior photography and I am enjoying myself photographing these lovely homes in Singapore.

Hi Alec.

This is a truly brilliant shot. At first I thought you used a medium format camera because there seems to be no linear distortions as might be expected of a wide angle 35mm SLR lens. So you can imagine my surprise when I read that this was your D200 with a 14mm lens!

So I can only say WOW!! I am inspired...

PS What sort of additional lighting did you use here? Softboxes?

Mark, the camera has to be placed at the correct height and perspective to ensure that there wil be limited or no linear distortions. I used the flash commander system in Nikon D200 to shoot wirelessly 2 SB600 lights placed in 2 locations in the hall and bounced off the ceiling.

Thanks for that, Alec. Much appreciated. I just bought myself a slave flash with optical trigger yesterday. I'm eager to test the results. Too bad I don't shoot digital...yet ;)

Cheers,

Mark
