We can make your experience more personal in a number of different ways. We can walk through projects with you and allow you to express what is most important and how you want to showcase the project. We can also take our direction from an architectural plan, or just discuss your design with you and take photos that best represent what you have identified as important design elements. Photo-Manipulation An important part of digital photography is what happens in the “digital darkroom” of computer software. We often must take the time to tweak and adjust the photos to best represent the design. This is a result of the difference between the way our eyes view something and how the digital camera views it. Sometimes, to best emulate what someone would see within a project, a digital photo must be enhanced with computer software and/or multiple exposures of the same image. In some cases, more work is required to make a truly unique photo that really draws the eye. A common example of this is replacing the sky in an exterior photo to one that is more dramatic. If mother nature provides a clear blue twilight sky the resulting photos can be less spectacular than if scattered clouds are bathed in the red and orange hues of sunset. If desired, we can easily take sunset photo of our own and seamlessly integrate it into the background to create a dramatic and memorable image for your marketing material.

As photography enthusiasts, we often experiment with other facets of imagery including, but not limited to, landscapes, portraits, events, macros, and product photos. Every type of photo requires a different approach to create a dramatic and appealing print. We take great care to ensure that the proper equipment and techniques are implemented so that the end results are of great quality and value to the client. 2009-12-14T03:30:13+00:00 http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/brad_nelson_contact/ http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/brad_nelson_contact/#When:01:20:15Z Brad Nelson Territory: Greater Los Angeles area Cell: 970.209.2660 Contact 2009-11-16T01:20:15+00:00 http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/kenny_lindstrom_contact/ http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/kenny_lindstrom_contact/#When:01:19:16Z Kenny Lindstrom Territory: Greater Philadelphia area Contact 2009-11-16T01:19:16+00:00 http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/east_coast/ http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/east_coast/#When:23:41:38Z Kenny Lindstrom represents lighting by others’ east coast division.

My graphic designs were initially based around t-shirt designs for a clothing company that I co-founded. I further developed my talent by submitting many of my designs for comment to an internet art forum where I received insightful criticism. My designs were mostly based around abstract 3-d models; I would then edit the image to further develop the renderings into a final image. The lessons learned from critique of my graphic design not only improved my designs but, also formed my “eye” for photography. Graphic Design Photo Manipulation I continued to explore graphic design and photography while completing my Bachelors of Science in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in illuminating engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder. As part of my academic studies, I gained knowledge in topics such as psychology of perception, optics, and of course, illumination. Some of my work has been published in magazines such as MONDO ARC and Windows 100% East Coast 2009-11-15T23:39:09+00:00 http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/architectural_exterior_photos/ http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/architectural_exterior_photos/#When:22:54:49Z Above are collections of images from different projects that showcase photos we have taken of exterior architectural spaces. More often then not, the key to a representative exterior night shot is timing. To best capture the night time look of a building, you need to take a photo of it during the “magic hour” between the beginning and end of sunset. Photos taken just a few minutes apart during this time can look remarkably different as the diffuse fill light of the intereflected sun light fades. 2009-11-11T22:54:49+00:00 http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/brad_nelson_bio/ http://www.lightingbyothers.com/index.php/site/brad_nelson_bio/#When:21:00:22Z I entered the world of photography as a hobbyist in my younger years in the mountains of Colorado where I was raised. My family has a strong affinity for all things outdoors, so naturally I followed suit. While adventuring in the Colorado wilderness there are always wonderful views to behold and I began capturing them on my first point and shoot digital camera. I have had a lot of exposure to the works of John Fielder and other similar artists which have become inspiration for taking epic photos of the natural landscapes. I began taking my camera with me everywhere I went, so long as it wasn’t a burden, and this allowed me to take photos of anything and everything I came across. While attending The University of Colorado, I began more seriously testing my abilities with photography in my day to day life. I expanded my selection of cameras and began to experiment with subjects and various techniques. In my time at the university I also acquired a bachelor of science in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in Illumination Engineering. Throughout the courses in illumination engineering, students learn many technical and biological principles that allow them to understand light and the way the mind perceives it. These principles are often thought about by photographers because the camera behaves similarly to our eyes. With this knowledge of light, biology, and architecture I am able to capture the feeling of a building or space in a timeless photograph.

We compose our shots to tell the whole story of each space by identifying key elements and then describing their relationship to one another.
