Yeah, I've seen your work on Strobist before and recently saw the link to the Photography for Real Estate site.

So to move into some technical questions about your images, particularly what I have seen through those links, your style is somewhat unique, although I notice that it shares many similarities with Thomas.

What I mean by that, is that although your main subject is a specific room or interior area, you concentrate heavily on getting all the other spaces well exposed too. Often when I see interior shots, the interior will be well exposed, but the exterior views through windows and doors are sometimes blown out or very dark.

It almost seems, like in this image for example:

Living Room with View (and me) on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

that you first expose for the exterior and then use lighting to bring the interior or your main subject up to the same level. It's almost counter intuitive in that we normally first expose for the subject and try to control the other spaces, but you seem to expose for the other spaces at times and then use lighting to control the main subject.

Is that a good summary of your basic approach?
