Photographing fitness center, AC Hotel Vermont

28 minute video.

In this video, I walk you through the process of shooting the fitness center at the AC Hotel by Marriott in Burlington, Vermont, which was part of a larger 25-image shoot. I discuss my camera setup, lighting techniques, and the importance of styling the space to create an inviting atmosphere. You'll see how I use Capture One for tethering and my approach to managing ambient light versus flash.
