Gold Coast Interior Design Photography for PLK Design

Take a peek into a shoot recently completed for @plkdesign, it was an absolute pleasure working with Peter for the day, to capture his latest project.

Let’s talk lighting for photography.

When assessing the rooms you need to photograph, it’s important to take note of the lighting conditions. One side of the house may have a warm tone, while the other side may appear colder with a blue tinge. It’s best to avoid capturing the rooms with cool, blue lighting as much as possible. Instead, wait for the natural sunlight to move throughout the day, transforming the ‘blue rooms’ into warm, inviting spaces.
Understanding and adjusting colour temperature can greatly influence the mood and ambiance of your photographs.

By timing your shots to capture the rooms when they are bathed in warm natural light, you can enhance the overall ambiance and colour temperature of the space. This attention to lighting can greatly contribute to the visual appeal and mood of your photographs.

Before a shoot, I will ask the client for a floor plan and the address of the property, I will then use an app called Sun Surveyor to predict the natural sunlight for each room of the house. I’ll write out a plan of attack for the day, down to each hour/room. Sometimes the plan will change, but this gives us a good base going into the day, to know if we are on time, or running late, to work with all the best lighting for the day.
