The questions you have today are “why can’t I have lights above my studio? Why do I have to block my skylight?”
It’s simple. It’s a theory, but I’m not a huge fan of having softbox or lights on top of my vehicle when I shoot the photos. That’s why we have a white cloth. The other reason is that we direct the light at the vehicle so it has a very vivid and sharp, exact representation of the color. If you start leaving your lights on above the studio, it’s going to add a shade of yellow to your room, and people are going to say, “Hey boss! Why are the photos looking a little yellowish?” Your photographer is going to struggle to get rid of that hue of color because the light temperature is not white light, like ours.
The other issue is, when I evaluated it, hopefully I didn’t miss that you had a skylight, and I asked you to cover it. We don’t want anything penetrating through the top, so that is why we’ve asked you to turn off or move your lights directly above the studio or cover your skylight.
