Mermaid Waters Project Photography of The Jade House by Interior Designer, Design Scout Interiors

How amazing is this bathroom!!! … but this space gets zero natural sunlight, I knew I needed to do my best to light this room in a natural way, to really get the true colour of the tiles.

In the end I use a continuous light outside, and aimed it in to the room, on to the gold reflector, to bounce a warmer light around the room. I didn’t want to busy the space with too many shadows, just wanted a nice warm light to enhance it’s overall look.

Professional photography lighting gives you full control over the light in order to achieve the desired texture and colour on your subjects. You can manipulate the lighting to create dramatic shadows or achieve a diffused and soft look. It’s all about shaping the light to enhance the overall mood and aesthetic of the room.

BONUS TIP

Getting the composition right with my camera on my tripod … having the ipad tethered to my camera, so I can see live what is happening through the lens … means I could stand outside with the light, and move the light around (while holding the iPad) to see exactly what the light was doing in real time, so I could ‘style’ the light exactly how I wanted it. (No running back and forth from the camera to the light, to check and change the lighting).
