Do your lights in your existing space, or around the space, or in your building need to be turned off during shooting?
There are a couple of ways to handle that. First of all, I evaluate your space. I will make recommendations on what lights have to be turned off or removed. Usually, I focus strictly on above the cloth top. In some cases, you’ll only see that in other people’s booths or studios because they don’t have a cloth top to shield the lights reflecting on the top of the car.
So, to answer your questions, you don’t have to shut them all off. I don’t want you to do that. It’s a hazard, for one, but the ones directly above the cylinder of the studio, yes. We would like those turned off. They’re not the right color temperature, and they will cause issues inside the studio.
FAQ
Do I need to turn off other lights when shooting in a 360Booth®?
Not all of them. Only the lights directly above the studio should be turned off, because their color temperature can cause issues inside.
How does 360Booth prevent overhead light reflections on the car?
The studio’s cloth top shields the vehicle from overhead lights reflecting on its roof.
