Artistic Loft in Soho
The broker asked me to come shoot this place which is essentially an art gallery in their client's home. A lot of Haring and Basquiat (Don't really know anything about them though).
They already had several photos and the needed a few that didn't make it look so dark and scary. The main direction I had was to take "Wow" photos. I'm not sure if I succeeded but I'm fairly happy with this one.
The living area here was surrounded by these big black velvety curtains so it was just sucking up the light. I took out my AD-360 and which decided to just quit on me right at that moment. So all I had left was my tiny little Yongnuo which barely reached the 16 foot ceilings. It was just useable in the living area but over in the background the ambient light was too strong for my poor little Yongnuo to overpower.
I combined a stack in Enfuse and used flash shots to brighten up a little bit in the living area and used ambient shots as best I could to bring back some detail in the background.
Let me know what you think. I'd love to know how you might approach it or make it better.
