Woodland Park

Interior work for an architectural firm in Woodland Park, NJ

Lighting - Slow shutter (1/10) on a tripod to get the ambient light and used my ringlight to give a little pop. I never used the ring for interiors, and I had to add 3-stops, but I like it for quick interior work. You don't get the hotspots on the ceiling or harsh shadows around light fixtures like bounced flash.
