Diplomat Hotel, Hilton, photographing a club lounge

43 minute video

In this video, I walk you through my recent shoot at a Hilton Curio collection, which is transitioning to a Signia collection. I captured around 50 images, here focusing on the club lounge and various angles to showcase the space effectively. I discuss my scouting process, camera setup, and lighting techniques, including the use of flash and natural light. At the end of the video, I provide a time-lapse of the retouching process.
