Claim:
1. A method for capturing three-dimensional photographic lighting of a spherical lighting device, the method comprising: calculating, by one or more processors, boundaries of the spherical lighting device based on lighting properties of at least one light source in a set location of the spherical lighting device; mapping, by the one or more processors, multiple points of the spherical lighting device to three-dimensional vectors of at least one camera device using a logical grid of the spherical lighting device; automating, by the one or more process, a capture of the three dimensional vectors passively through differential reflection combined with image processing algorithms of the camera device or actively by incorporating sensors on surface of the spherical lighting device; measuring, by the one or more processors, brightness of the logical grid of the spherical lighting device; determining, by the one or more processors, a brightest grid point of the logical grid of the spherical lighting device, wherein the brightest grid point of the logical grid is measured within a region brightness of the spherical lighting device; and calculating, by the one or more processors, the region of brightness of the spherical lighting device based on the brightest grid point of the logical grid.
