325 Toluca - Kitchen Print E-mail
Written by Michael Asgian   
After the Living room Shot that was pretty easy to achieve, the fun began. The kitchen had the most unusual island I ever saw. I dont know how to call it... custom? Anyway, to make this hilarious I had Warm Fluorescent recessed lights (I wanted them on), under the cabinets lights fluorescent of course, an over the Sink Window, everything in OAK and the walls & ceiling yellowish. Shortly... a white balance nightmare.

This is what I came up at the end, after about 7 minutes of chimping and moving lights:


How I did this:

I had 4 lights here, 1 on camera for subtle WAD fill and three SB-80dx
  • 1/2 STU Extreme right to fill the back side of the kitchen and back wall
  • 1/16 WAD CR to fill the baskets and Microwave cabinet
  • 1/8 Stoffened with three warm caps on it's side and flagged with the flash pouch to avoid the reflection on the green side of the island. All surfaces were reflective... lighting nightmare...
See some of the setup shots:


The Ambient Light is taken with the same lens and settings as the actual shot, except no flash. The others are taken with a 8mm fisheye lens, to cover as much as possible of the geometry and position of the lights.
