360° Panoramic High Dynamic Range Image Photography (HDRI) - What it is and how it works:

360° Panoramic HDRI photography is a visual effects technique that allows one to capture the complete environment (interior and exterior) on-set from all angles, including the exact lighting conditions, shadows and reflections. As the environment is captured at multiple exposures, the captured lighting can be manipulated in 3D to ensure the seamless integration between CGI and Live Action. This simplifies the Post Production process as it eliminates the "trial and error" guesswork involved in the digital 3D lighting process.
