Photographing a guestroom at a boutique hotel

26 minute video

In this video, I walk through the process of shooting images for a suite at the Clarendon Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. I discuss the unique layout of the room and the challenges I faced, such as dealing with a foggy window and ensuring proper lighting. I also share my techniques for capturing the essence of the space, including using flash and natural light effectively.
