Interior Photography & how I get great images

With Property photography, I come across lighting challenges every day. Some are simple enough but others as more challenging & offer fantastic results, as you will see below.

Recently I had the pleasure of photographing a penthouse for an estate agent in Dublin. The view of the city was spectacular, so needed to capture this to its full potential. As photographers are well aware, it is no easy task. Indeed I could do an HDR and bracket five exposures (or more). Its an easy way but the results wont be as clear as I had in mind.

Interior Photography is all about the correct lighting balance & it is a difficult task. Expose for the interior and your exterior is blown out. Expose for the exterior and the result is a massively underexposed interior. So what do I do?

The answer lies with flash. If you want to balance bright exterior with a dark interior or visa versa, you use flash. Knowing how to use flash and camera settings get results like these….

By the way, I was delighted to see my images used in the Irish Times on Thursday the 25th of March 2021
