Speaking of Architecture...



I also shoot architecture for architects and interior designers. I've just recently been in Naples, Fl working for a couple of different designers. Most of the work I photograph in that part of the state are condo penthouses. The beach down there is littered with expensive, high rise condos catering to people who spend only a few months out of the year there. I recently saw a statistic that showed there were more millionaires per capita in Naples that anywhere else in the U.S. Anyway, I'm lucky enough to get to photograph these places with the great views. 
My lighting for interiors varies depending on the style of the room and what, if any, available natural light is present. As examples, the first shot of the seating area with the blown out floor to ceiling windows is just late afternoon natural light streaming in from those windows. No other supplemental lighting is used. Nikon D3 and 24-70mm 2.8 Nikkor.
The next image of the hallway is lit with a combination of 11 hidden Arri and Lowell tungsten lights and the dimmed down ambient light of the existing lighting fixtures. Nikon D3 and 24-70mm 2.8 Nikkor.
The last shot of the contemporary interior is lit simply with two 4800ws Speedotron units with standard reflectors on the heads set up on the balcony to simulate sunlight. Nikon D3 and 24mm 2.8 PC Nikkor.
