Thank you Peter, I'm glad you like it! If have any more specific questions I will gladly answer, because when I work on my personal projects I kind of get "in the zone" and go with the flow of what I have in mind and what I want to achieve, wouldn't know specifically how to describe the process (also because the three images have been done in three different moments, as a working mom of a 10 months baby I have to get the best I can of his napping time ;) )
Understood! I know the baby thing:) Got one myself.
What is your approach to lighting the scene? One single source(Hdri etc) or more sources?
Do you use multiple exposures to get a balanced look?
The main source is an hdri, then I have candles, string lights, light beams at the base of the walls and a "soft box" on top of everything, then I adjusted and tweaked the amount of each light with the light mix, and in post I added a bit more of light where I needed it adding each light element in screen through a mask.
I attached you a screenshot of the scene. I hope I answered your question :)
