Location Lighting with Photoflex WhiteDomes / Kitchen

If you shoot primarily in the studio or at home, shooting on location can prove to be somewhat more challenging, as you are not always able to control every element of the shot.

The environment in which you shoot will often dictate how you will approach the lighting challenges you face.

One of the biggest challenges in mixed-light situations (indoor/outdoor lighting shots) becomes how to minimize or eliminate unwanted reflections in windows.

For this lesson, we chose to shoot a kitchen scene with a lot of windows in the background. We will illustrate how to use Photoflex Small WhiteDomes to eliminate window reflections, as well as how to create the look you want.
