Vehicle photographic and inspection booth
A photographic booth may comprise one or more walls and a lighting source. The one or more walls can bound a planar stage. The lighting source may be configured to direct light toward at least a portion of the one or more walls. The lighting source may be configured to increase an intensity of the light behind a photographer while decreasing an intensity of the light in front of the photographer and behind a vehicle.
1 . A photographic booth comprising:
one or more walls bounding a planar stage; and
a lighting source configured to direct light toward at least a portion of the one or more walls, wherein a first portion of the lighting source is configured to increase an intensity of the light behind a photographer,
wherein a second portion of the lighting source is configured to decrease an intensity of the light in front of the photographer and behind a vehicle, and
wherein the first portion of the lighting source is different from the second portion of the lighting source.
2 . The photographic booth of claim 1 , wherein the lighting source is configured to generate bounce lighting that does not create a sheen on a surface of the vehicle.
3 . The photographic booth of claim 1 further comprising a door that, when in an open position, functions as a ramp for the vehicle to enter the photographic booth.
4 . The photographic booth of claim 1 , wherein at least one wall of the one or more walls comprises a first portion and a second portion, and wherein the first portion has a first length and extends up from the planar stage, the second portion has a second length and extends up from the first portion, and a first end of the second portion forms a second obtuse angle with the first portion inside the photographic booth.
5 . The photographic booth of claim 4 , further comprising a door matching at least one wall of the one or more walls.
6 . The photographic booth of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the lighting source decreases the intensity of the light behind the photographer at a same time as the second portion of the lighting source increases the intensity of the light in front of the photographer and behind the vehicle.
7 . The photographic booth of claim 1 , wherein the one or more of walls are covered in a light scattering material.
8 . A method for using a photographic booth, the method comprising:
moving a vehicle into the photographic booth, wherein the photographic booth comprises one or more walls bounding a planar stage and a lighting source configured to direct light toward at least a portion of the one or more walls;
increasing an intensity of the light behind a photographer using a first portion of the lighting source; and
decreasing an intensity of the light in front of the photographer and behind the vehicle using a second portion of the lighting source that is different from the first portion of the lighting source.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the lighting source is configured to generate bounce lighting that does not create a sheen on a surface of the vehicle.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the photographic booth further comprises a door that functions as a ramp when in an open position, and wherein the method further comprises:
moving the door into the open position; and
moving the vehicle into the photographic booth further comprises moving the vehicle onto the ramp and into the photographic booth.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein at least one wall of the one or more walls comprises a first portion and a second portion, and wherein the first portion has a first length and extends up from the planar stage, the second portion has a second length and extends up from the first portion, and a first end of the second portion forms a second obtuse angle with the first portion inside the photographic booth.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the photographic booth further comprises a door matching the at least one wall.
13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the decreasing the intensity of the light in front of the photographer and behind the vehicle occurs simultaneously with increasing an intensity of the light behind the photographer.
14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more walls are covered in a light scattering material.
15 . A method for providing a photographic booth, the method comprising:
providing one or more walls bounding a planar stage; and
providing a lighting source configured to direct light toward at least a portion of the one or more walls,
wherein the lighting source is configured to increase an intensity of the light behind a photographer using a first portion of the lighting source, while decreasing an intensity of the light in front of the photographer and behind a vehicle using a second portion of the lighting source that is different from the first portion of the lighting source.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the lighting source is configured to generate bounce lighting that does not create a sheen on a surface of the vehicle.
17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising providing a door that functions as a ramp when in an open position.
18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein at least one wall of the one or more walls comprises:
a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion has a first length and extends up from the planar stage, the second portion has a second length and extends up from the first portion, and a first end of the second portion forms a second obtuse angle with the first portion inside the photographic booth; and
the photographic booth further comprises a door matching the at least one wall.
19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first portion of the lighting source decreases the intensity of the light behind the photographer at a same time as the second portion of the lighting source increases the intensity of the light in front of the photographer and behind the vehicle.
20 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the one or more walls are covered in a light scattering material.
