One thing that
photographers will tell you is to use natural lighting whenever possible. You
will, however, want to stay away from an overly bright window as it can
lead to problems with exposure and white balance. Another pointer is to keep
the window off to the side. If too much light is coming inside, draw the
curtains or shades. Never photograph into the light, but bright light in the
background is superior to indoor lighting. You may want to shoot your room at
various points throughout the day to see which lighting is best.
A general rule of
thumb is that Eastward rooms should be taken in the morning and Westward in the
afternoon.Rooms with Northern and Southern exposure should be taken when the
rooms are their brightest. It’s best not to shoot on a dark and dreary day. If
rain is in the forecast, try putting off the shoot, if at all possible, until
the sun begins to shine again.
For a gentler, softer
light you may prefer to photograph your room at dawn or dusk when the sun is
just rising or just about to set. A sunset can make for a magnificent interior
photograph. If a flash is necessary, if you’re photographing at night or on a
darker day, use a flash that has an adjustable head and point it up toward the
ceiling to bounce the light from there to create a more diffused light.
