If you are, like me, a frequent traveller, then it is more likely that you have observed how hotels and resorts set up their lighting fixtures. Lobby and Reception Areas act like a strong (or weak) handshake, giving first impressions to guests. The lights in this area should be unique, and in line with the theme of the establishment. The light coming from the fixtures must be very inviting and give a feeling of security, making the visitors want to come back again and again.
Two charming five star establishments in Dubai which I have stayed at and visited many times are the Sofitel,at JBR and the Desert Palm, both places taking pains to dress their ceilings with hip lights that make me look up…
Desert Palm Resort, Dubai: f/13; 1/25sec; ISO-1600
Sofitel Dubai Ceiling: f/2.8; 1/60sec; ISO-400
