I typically shoot on-location portraiture and candid photojournalism.
Does anyone have advice as to lighting equipment recommended for
shooting a commercial indoor remodeling job? The shoot will carry me
throughout the house in different rooms with emphasis on things like
tile work. Thanks!

Is this going to be documentation quality or Architectural Digest? For
first, the lighting equipment is minimal: ambient light; an on-camera
flash and Photoshop is all you'll need. For the other, extreme, both in
equipment and set up time.
My flash lighting kit for the latter is 4 1000 watt-second power packs
and 9 flash heads. Plus stands, booms, flags, gobos, diffusers,
umbrellas, light boxes, grid spots, color correction media, etc. About 4
or 5 cases worth of stuff. And it takes 2 people about 1.5 to 2 hours to
light and style each angle. Shooting a whole house takes a week, 40 to
60 hours of work. Sometimes, longer if the client requests both "day"
and "night" shots of the some rooms.
