The image on the left is by Todd Hido from his motel room series. The diagram on the right is how I would recreate this shot. While it appears in the original shot that Hido likely used natural light coming into the room from the open door and window (not seen in the image) on the same wall as the door, I plan to rely on a strobe with a softbox. Also, in order to get the TV to white-out, I would set the shutter speed to 1 sec and have the room dark so that once the strobe pops, the only light in the room is from the tv set for the remainder of the exposure.
