A good flash meter, and a few lumedyne lighting units.

I took a class years ago from some guy who shot hotels worldwide or something

and his thing was the 'squint' method'...he'd set up his camera..then squint down..looking at the scene, and by doing that..he could determine where and about how much light to add to balance out the shot

sounds weird..but it worked for him


then he would light with both practicals and a hot light in a big dish he could paint the scene with to lighten up dark areas

his exposures would be in the minute range..so he might add lights or have lights on for a third to a half of the time
