    When photographing an interior space to highlight it's expansiveness, it is best to capture how many walls?

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    Try to shoot into a corner of a room, showing only 2 walls. Showing 3 walls can make the space look enclosed and smaller than it actually is. Sometimes however, showing that 3rd wall is necessary to create a visual anchor and sometimes you may actually want to accentuate the coziness or intimate personality of a room.

    Design Lighting Colour
    Design Light Colour

  • 9. 

    What is the slowest shutter speed recommended for photographing interiors?

    • .5 second

    • 1 second

    • 2 seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. 2 seconds
    Explanation
    Besides being at risk of camera shake from vibrations, exposures longer than 2 seconds cause unnecessary noise and colour shift. In architectural photography capturing accurate colours is important. If you need to let in more light, try increasing the ISO. Noise created by a higher ISO is much easier to clean up.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    For interior lighting to appear discreet and natural, telltale shadows from furniture should fall where?

    • Beneath the furniture.

    • Between the furniture and the camera.

    • Either.

    Correct Answer
    A. Either.
    Explanation
    Fill in dark shadows only where necessary to retain some detail and keep the fill well down below the main light so as not to interrupt the naturally occurring light in the room.
