Even more so, to make images &#8220;sexy&#8221;, as famous architectural photographer Scott Hargis puts it, you typically put multiple strobes in separate areas of a room or even outside a window to create the illusion of natural light. Scott&#8217;s method is quite unique and took years of trial and error to perfect. One of the aspects I have yet to try in his published&nbsp;workflow is the bounce umbrella. I&#8217;ve only used shoot throughs or bounce diffusers but absolutely see the appeal is bouncing the hard light to make it softer and wider.<\/p>\n<p>The current technique I&#8217;m working on is meant to speed up my onsite time but is slow during the post-processing. It&#8217;s Nathan Cool&#8217;s one light strobing technique and&nbsp;you go to each room or sections of open space in a single room to light them separately with your light-on-a-stick. It definitely creates a harder light and the shadows can be tedious to deal with but, like I said, the onsite time has decreased by about 30%-40%. I&#8217;m currently averaging about 85 minutes onsite for a 1700sqft house and 2-3 hours in post processing. With the multi-strobe technique I think my work was getting to be better quality but was taking 120-150 minutes of onsite time with 2-3 hours of processing.<\/p>\n<p>Here I am lighting the far side of the room, next I would have lit the black hole on the left.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wremedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/WArealestatephotos.com-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1353\" src=\"https:\/\/wremedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/WArealestatephotos.com-5-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"WArealestatephotos.com-5\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interior work is unlike any other form of photography &#8211; the lighting is complex and requires delicate planning and balance.
