Shooting Home Interiors I've been asked to shoot a small bathroom remodel. I'm looking for tips to avoid lighting reflections in the glass shower doors.

Bathrooms are tough. Some days, it seems like every surface is reflective. For a small bathroom, I will use a single 30-inch shoot-through umbrella and a 200 watt-second, or more, strobe. This is easy to hide, and if the bath is painted a neutral color, the bounce fill will help a lot. If I am going to have to have a reflection, I will put it into the outside window. Then, if I shoot on a tripod, I can take two shots from the same place, one with strobe and one without. I can use the window from the shot without strobe to fix the window with the reflection. If the bath is larger, I can use a couple of lights, just look for good angles. This article might help: www.siskinphoto.com/magazine/zpdf/architecture-phototechnique.pdf. Also you might want to look at this blog entry as it is a chapter from my next book about shooting interiors: www.siskinphoto.com/magazine/zpdf/architecture-phototechnique.pdf Thanks,
