EQUIPMENT NEEDED
THE CAMERA
The interior photographer will need just about the same equipment as the architectural photographer . He is frequently required to work in rather cramped quarters and his freedom of movement is thus quite limited . The exact angle or point of view is often pretty well fixed by the circumstances , and the photographer is forced to control perspective and perspective distortion to a considerable degree . This makes the view camera the universal instrument for
interior photography . Depending upon the amount and type of work you do , you can use any size from 8 x 10 down to 4 x 5 - a good compromise often being a 5 x 7 for all work .
A small roll film or 35mm camera is frequently very useful as an adjunct , or as a preliminary survey instrument . Quite successful interiors are taken with such cameras , and the photographer who doesn't do enough of this type of work to warrant buying larger equipment can often make them serve his purpose by the exercise of considerable skill and ingenuity . The 4 x 5 press camera , of course , is a compromise between the small hand camera and the larger view camera and has a distinct place in this field of work .
However , for large interiors containing quite a lot of photographic detail which must be recorded with a maximum of sharpness , such as the inside of a supermarket or an industrial plant , there is really no good substitute for a view camera and the negative size should not be less than 4 x 5 with 5 x 7 as a preferred size .
LIGHTING EQUIPMENT
The lights should , of course , all be of the portable type with their own collapsible stands . To provide the maximum amount of light with the least weight and the lowest power consumption , photofloods are recommended . The No. 1 photoflood ( 250 watts ) will be found most useful for all - around work in small interiors . The No. 2 ( 500 watts ) will be more useful for general illumination in the larger interiors , but the No. I will also be found extremely valuable for lighting up smaller areas and as auxiliary lights , even in the larger jobs . When it is necessary to cover a large area with only one light source , the No. 4 ( 1,000 watts ) photoflood is often used to advantage . However , such large lamps require correspondingly . large reflectors .
Reflectorfloods or Reflectorspots , since they contain their own reflectors within the glass envelope , are extremely light and portable , and they can often be used to considerable advantage . They do not , of course , provide as uniform a lighting nor can they be as accurately controlled as the regulation lighting unit , so that they are most frequently used as auxiliary lights .
Flash may be used instead of ordinary flood lighting , either as a matter of convenience or where people are included in the scene so that motion must be stopped . The use of flash requires somewhat more skill and considerably more experience since you cannot see the lighting before exposure and must , therefore , rely on your previous experience and general knowledge of lighting to tell you what placement and what size of flash lamps to use . Since flash will generally be used in larger interiors , you will often find it better to use the larger flash lamps . with medium screw bases which fit into your regular lighting units and which can be fired by 110 volts lighting supply instead of batteries .
OTHER ACCESSORIES
You will need plenty of extension cord . In most cases you will have to flash . all the lamps from the camera , and while slave units can be very useful , they have their limitations , particularly when used with standard rather than electronic flash .
Electronic flash is fine for small interiors , but it is rather impractical for large interiors . Electronic flash equipment with high enough output for large interiors is quite bulky and very heavy , so that it can hardly be considered portable .
In addition to a plentiful supply of extension cable , you will need some junction boxes . A junction box is simply a standard electrical outlet box fitted with two double outlets which gives you four electrical outlets ( see Figure 22 ) . This is a much superior arrangement to the ordinary domestic type triple outlet . As a matter of fact , the ordinary triple outlet intended for home use should never be used commercially - it won't stand up and its power carrying ability is quite low . It will overheat badly , so that the contacts lose their temper in a short time , and either develop an arc which burns them out or else fail to make contact altogether . You cannot afford to use them except in emergencies , and for very limited power even then .

LENSES
The lens equipment needed by the interior photographer is just about the same as that used by the architectural photographer . Most of the time , he will be working in rather cramped quarters and a wide - angle lens will be essential . Its use , however , should be avoided if possible because it gives rather exaggerated perspective , and if its angle is extremely wide , objects near the margins of the picture are badly stretched out of shape . A normal lens - or a lens which is just trifle short of that - is usually the most favored lens . For the close - up rendition of some detail , a longer than normal focal length is often of help .
