A combination of directional and diffuse light sources at multiple angles ensures all finish types show their intended character—texture, reflection, and softness all visible.

Mid-Range
Approach Detail
Layer 1: Soft diffuse overhead (shows satin finishes). Layer 2: Directional grazing light (reveals brushing direction). Layer 3: Small point source (creates controlled reflections in polished surfaces). Balance these at approximately 40/30/30 intensity ratio. Angle watches to show all finishes from customer position.
Key Fixtures
Diffuse: LED panel or cove; Grazing: asymmetric linear LED; Point: adjustable micro spot with barn doors
Designer Notes
RENDER GUIDANCE: Show all three finish types distinctly in same image—brushed texture, polished reflections, satin smoothness. Demonstrate quality craftsmanship. Detail-oriented, technical luxury.
