Abstract
In implementations of photography environment control, an environment controller is a device that maintains a photography environment map of an environment in which images are captured as photographs. The photography environment map includes locations of fixed light sources that are usable to illuminate a subject for image capture in a region of the environment. The environment controller implements an imaging recommendation module that can determine optimal lighting for the image capture of the subject in the region of the environment. The environment controller can then control the fixed light sources used to adjust ambient lighting conditions of the region in the environment for the optimal lighting and the image capture of the subject. The environment controller can also initiate communication of imaging recommendations to a camera device in the environment for the image capture of the subject.
