Interior Photography

Photography of the inside of buildings, balancing artificial light, daylight and the character of a space.

In depth

The technical problem is nearly always dynamic range and mixed colour: a window is many stops brighter than the room and a different colour temperature from its lamps. The answers are bracketing and fusion, gelling supplementary lights to match, or shooting at dusk when interior and exterior brightness converge.

Examples in practice

Photographing a hotel lobby twenty minutes after sunset balances the window view against the room's own lighting.
