Photo of the week. Interior with glass wall.

The last week I did photograph a house in Vienna. The interresting part was, that the living room had one wall made out of glass. Keep reading if you want to know how I made this photo.








At first I put the camera on the tripod and set the shutter speed and apperture so, that the exterior was exposed properly. Then I positioned one flash to the camera right and bounced of the ceiling, just out of the frame in order to light the dining table and the foreground. The second flash was also on camera right, firing through the umbrella and was pointing directly on the far wall on the left. The third flash was hidden out of the view on far camera left, lighting the white cauch and coffeetable. This flash was making problems. Its reflection was showing up on the glass wall. The other problem was, that the owners of the house were mowing the grass and tiding up the garden. So I shot a series of photos with and without the third flash and also with people in different places in the garden. At the end I copied shots into layers in Photoshop via layer masks took out light reflections on the glass and people out of the garden.
