Definitely the second one for me

Can I like both? I understand and appreciate the asymmetry of the second picture. Love how the dark wood on the right pulls me into the image, yet I’m constantly drawn to the lights. However, not sure if it is too much Star Trek with the Enterprise in warp speed, but I prefer the symmetry of the first pic. Everything in balance, beautiful lines. T…Read More

After attending the One-day architectural workshop on Sunday, 26 Nov, and the Zoom meeting on Architectural editing, I created the following HDR Panorama.
I wanted to create the feeling of a warm family home at night and went for a warmer edit with the lights in the house. I did a sky replacement in Photoshop and made the sky also a bit…Read More

What is the consensus of using Flambient vs HDR technique for interior photography in South Africa?
Flambient = Flash + Ambient Lighting
HDR = High Dynamic Range (Multiple Exposures)1 Comment-

Flambient vs HDR
Personally, I don’t think it matters much. It’s about what works best for you and is acceptable to your clients. Earlier in my career, I used flash, but I found the time and effort spent didn’t justify the earnings. Nowadays, with cameras offering more dynamic range and with improved post-processing algorithms and batch…Read More

Your thoughts please.
5DMk4, Samyang 2.8 14mm, 1/15 sec at f5.6, ISO 200, Tripod. Post in lightroom. My question is this: The first edit, the darker one, is fairly close to the actual look and feel of the house but the agent asked me to do a lighter edit. Love to hear thoughts on this. Looking through portfolios of photographers specialising in…Read More![]()

The darker image is better and more accurate, but I’ve also had a few clients who requested a brighter exposure, which I will adhere to.
