Taking Advantage of The Early Morning:

What do you do when you're out of state on location and have three large projects to photograph in a day?  You start early, really early.  These hotel interiors were shot around 4:00am.  The front of the hotel faced East, which meant I had about 15min of cobalt blue coming through the windows just before full sunrise.  The idea wa to get the lobby, restaurant, and bar photographed, before quests started coming down for breakfast, then shoot the edterior ata sunrise and take advantage of the blast of light and shadow cast as the sun comes up.

I really enjoy shooting commercial interiors, especially hotels.  The designers are often a bit over-the-top, with color choice and patterns.  Properly lighting the scene gives the photographer the opportunity to really make the images 'pop, without blowing out (overexposing) the light fixtures and windows.  

This Hilton Hotel located in Texas was built by Level Construction.  If you're looking for a company to handle such a large project, you won't find a better one to partner with.  I will add some exteriors in a separate post.
