  2. Paul-Dan Dragoman - Entry #865
  3. Jennifer Clark - Entry #867

Here's what James has to say:

Great! Thank you!!!

The stairwell was photographed in a Luxury Home in Suwanee, GA for a builder who uses my photos on his website, The camera used was a Canon 5DMIV with a Canon EF 16-35 f/4.0L lens. The scene was lit with 3 Canon 600EXII-RT Speedlites, one on each level that the stairway passes. I used the “flambient” technique, with several flashed photos and one with available light. The photos were blended using Photoshop and finished in Lightroom using a preset of my own creation. The camera mounted on a Manfrotto 055 Tripod with a Benro geared head.
