Interior

Interior architectural photography can also be performed with ambient light transmitted through windows and skylights, as well as interior lighting fixtures.

Frequently though, architectural photographers will use supplemental lighting to improve the illumination within a building.

Either electronic flash "strobes" or incandescent "hot lights" can be used.

A feature of architectural photography is that the principal subjects rarely move.

It is therefore possible to use post-processing editing to achieve a balanced lighting scheme, even in the absence of additional lighting.
