Two armilary spheres from the piece, illuminated by different environments. The left is illuminated by the Uffizi gallery in Florence, the right by Galileo's tomb in Santa Croce.
Two more armilary spheres from the piece, both illuminated by St. Peter's Basilica. The objects and materials are symbolic of various themes in the piece.
Two images of a two-inch mirrored sphere placed in front of Bernini's Baldacchino inside St. Peter's. These images were combined to create the light probe image below, which as a result has better resolution and does not include the photographer. This and a variety of other light probe images are now available in high dynamic range the Light Probe Image Gallery.
Three panoramic environments created by taking multiple radiance images and assembling them into panoramas. These were used to create the background plates for the film. Three-dimensionality was added to these backgrounds by projecting them onto a model of the corresponding environments.

The plan for St. Peter's Basilica. We used this to plan our shoot and to visualize how the monoliths would be placed.
