I have a rather large garage that I want to partition in half and create a studio for mainly portraits. It is a rather dark space at the moment, wood ceiling, dark brick walls. If you were setting up a studio from scratch would you go with dark ceiling/walls or white ceilings/walls?

White.
I always wanted my studio space dark and even covered all windows. That way I controlled all the light and could see accurately what I was doing.. since I always used strobe light.

If you want the option of using walls and ceilings as reflectors, you want white. It also makes the studio more comfortable to work in.
If you prefer controlled, direct lighting and dark backgrounds, you want either dark walls and ceilings, or some means of blocking reflections.

I couldn't decide so I went for 18% grey.
Good choice!.......Regards!
