Photographing darkness is hard. The FIDI restaurant that I shot the interior photos for was well lit but had a large black disc at the end of one of the walls. Not only was it black, but it was reflective which made taking the photos a little difficult. Luckily, the shape was rear-lit which provided some depth, preventing the circle from looking like a porthole. Interior photography can always be challenging but there are some challenges that the photographer just can’t predict. You can see the photos in action on Chikarashi Isso’s website.
