Turn lights off to see effect of
practical lamps in vision

When lighting a VIP interview you are better to build up your lighting in zones adding
one lamp at a time to see what each is doing in turn. It can be helpful to turn off all
lights and look at each one in turn that way you can isolate the effect of each light you
are using. That way you only light what you need to.
