CBM Compound
Andhra Pradesh
A central residential pocket of apartments and older houses, close enough to everything that functions here tend to spill out into venues nearby rather than staying at home. The apartments are the common case, and they bring the usual pair of constraints: a low ceiling and several kinds of artificial light in one room.

What we photograph here
Naming ceremonies, birthdays and engagements held at home, and family portrait sessions in the flat itself.
Planning around the place
A low ceiling means bouncing rather than aiming, because direct light in a small room is unforgiving and a ceiling bounce in a room this size is soft enough for faces. We set the group-portrait position while the room is still empty enough to measure, since once the guests arrive there is no moving furniture to find it.
