the human light stand

I thought I’d get a bit CrAzY at a recent hotel shoot and try a new lighting technique.

Step 1: Expose the room at just below ambient and take a photo.
Step 2: Get your “assistant” to stand in the middle of the room and aim a flash (with snoot) at various points of interest. Take a range of photos.
Step 3: Insert the highlights into the ambient image.

The final image.

The opposite of the final image.

Is it cheating?
