This lighting study was based on a reference from the "Nippon Paint Trend Beyond Colours 2024-25" booklet.

Most models were created by me, except for a few props (cherry bowl, pot, cutting board, and sink were downloaded) I leaned on the Chaos library for materials and textures. I refined the final image in Photoshop for more accurate results.

Lighting for this project was challenging and was fun at the same time. My goal was to match the reference as closely as possible. I spent time studying how many light sources were used and where the light was coming from. To get more control, I used light linking to control how each light affected different parts of the scene.
