Sometimes an assignment comes up with very short notice. For this assignment which included both interiors and exteriors of a LEED Certified Medical Research building, the interior access was only allowed in the afternoon. By determining the ideal sun angle for this location I decided that it was better to photograph the exteriors in the early morning light. I made arrangements with the client and property management staff to photograph the exterior views in the morning and come back in the afternoon for the interiors. Good lighting is everything in a successful photograph, a little research makes a big difference.
