It’s no secret that the best images are taken in the best lighting. Ismail Sirdah prefers to have a myriad of lighting options in his studio. Depending on the subject, the colors being used, and so much more, different kinds of lighting may be necessary. A lighting fixture that Sirdah uses quite frequently is halogen lighting.

Every photograph you take is a performance, soft lighting, hard lighting, whatever, you’re capturing something that not everyone is seeing. – Ismail Sirdah
