01Technical Case Study

Historic Basilica Light Study

Client: Self-Initiated / Studio

Location: Historic Orthodox Church

Year: 2007

An interior photograph of a historic church with stone columns and arches illuminated by natural light from high windows.
Before (Natural Light)01 / 02
An interior photograph of a historic Orthodox basilica church featuring Corinthian marble columns and decorative arches, captured using a combined flash and natural light technique.
After (ReaLight Combined Technique)02 / 02
Execution Sequence

The digital camera was set to capture one image every second at 1/20 speed. A strobe light was held and pointed at the areas of interest at angles that best benefited the shot. Every time the diaphragm shot, the strobe was flashed, and by combining all of these individual exposures in Photoshop, a perfectly lit scene was created—achieving the best possible lighting for the Agia Onouphrios fresco and the mosaic.

About the Shoot & Light Study

An architectural and interior lighting study conducted within a historic Orthodox basilica, focusing on the interplay between natural daylight and deep architectural shadows.

The shoot documented the 'Dynamic Light Synthesis' technique—a hybrid approach combining precise photographic flash with ambient window light to balance high-contrast spaces while retaining the tactile textures of marble columns and wooden furnishings.

Technique

Dynamic Light Synthesis (Combined Flash/Ambient)

Subjects

Corinthian capitals, arches, modern point lights

About the Shoot & Light Study

I applied the Dynamic Light Synthesis technique in a unique space at Agios Demetrios, which had never been photographed in this manner before. The camera was placed resting on its back on the floor, pointing directly up at the dome.

Using a 10.5mm ultra-wide lens, I was able to cover the entire dome in a single shot—something that had never been done before. The camera was set to take one picture every second at 1/20 speed. While the camera shot continuously, I used a pole to aim the strobe flash toward all sides of the dome, progressively lighting the scene.

Camera Setup

10.5mm ultra-wide lens, floor-mounted, 1/20s at 1s intervals

03Case Study

HDRi Exposure Blending Explanation

This technical study demonstrates the process of creating High Dynamic Range (HDR) images by blending multiple bracketed exposures to capture both extreme highlights and deep shadows.

Client: Studio

Location: Test Setup

Year: 2007

Project Overview

The images visually break down the standard low dynamic range (LDR) limitations against the fully assembled HDR final result, serving as an educational guide for architectural and technical imaging.

Technique

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Blending

Purpose

Educational / Technical Demonstration
