Here are Brandon's comments:

This was a fun home to shoot. I walked away with a handful of images I would be happy to have in my portfolio. At first, I thought this particular room would be a bit of a challenge to shoot - then I threw a one point perspective on top of it! Luckily, I had white walls and a light decor to work with. I only ended up needing to use three lights. I had a strobe outside the far window to the right with a bounce umbrella, another off camera right with a bounce umbrella shooting directly across to the left and handheld a speedlight that was bounced off of the ceiling. That's it! Having a couple of battery powered strobes really makes things easy when you're trying to bring a view through the windows and nail it in one shot. A few tweaks in Lightroom and it was set!

Congrats to everyone who submitted images. It's been a while since I've submitted something and I know it's not always easy putting your work out there for people to judge and critique!

  1. Congratulations Brandon, nice shot, I love the lighting.

    I'm always afraid to use an umbrella outside again. Even with a heavy stand and weights my flash blew over.
    how did you steady the outside light and stand?
