Hi

My best friend is a joiner who has recently set up on his own and has asked me to take photo's of some of his recent work so we can build up a portfolio and a web page for him.

Needless to say, I'm chuffed he's asked and want to do the best I can for him, the photo's will be of some recent high kitchens fitted, a few solid oak staircases (they were bloody heavy to lift in !!!) and a recent barn conversion.

Any advice on best settings etc would be gratefully received as these are peoples houses and lived in and they have been very kind in allowing us to go back to photo them, I don't want to be spending hours trying different setings or needing to go back because they haven't turned out well, so any advice would be welcome.

Thanks in advance ..

Andy
 
Take a wide angle lens and a tripod, use ambient light and a long shutter speed. :)

LOL! :D Proof that theres more than one way to skin a cat :D
 
Thanks for the replies

Do have a flash, tripod etc, but don't have studio lights etc,

Will take tripod and wide angle lens and try to fire a few off with flash and hopefully a couple with light available there to see which works best. Didn't think there would be a one solution fix, but was looking for those extra little pointers someone might have done previously.

Thanks again :thumbs:
 
If it looks good with the ambient light go for that, if not reflect some light to the ceiling and light subject with an umberella as well, keep the long exposure to bring up the ambient lights to warm the image a bit.
 
Thanks Phillip

When you say long exposure, approx ???

Cheers
