Hotel Room Directional Light and Simple Backgrounds
Be sure to use these tips when using directional light to make the most of simple backgrounds:
- Close the sheers to soften the light and allow light to wrap around the subjects
- Control light spill with drapes (large box vs. strip box)
- Use background tungsten for soft/warmth
- White balance for the skin tones in camera
- White balance for green tint from windows (if needed)
- Expose to retain shadows
- Shoot with wide apertures (1.2 to 2.8 preferred)
