New home Studio with large skylight

[ndwgolf]

I’m in the process of building an extension onto my spare bedroom and making it into a gallery/studio.
The total area will be around 3.5m x 7m. I’ve got the builder to install a 2m x 1m skylight directly above where the model will be doing her thing (2.5m ceiling) but now I’m wondering if I should add some sort of diffusion material in the opening or just wait and see what happens after it all comes together?
I’ll take some better pictures of the whole setup tomorrow.

Aren't skylights hard to cover? You might not want light you can't control or place where you want it...

It’s being covered with tempered glass. I’m hoping that that with it being north facing we won’t get any hard directional light, but I won’t know until it’s finished.

I'm sorry, but whether the light is hard and directional or not, it will be there, so unless you're going to do all of your photography in the middle of the night, it will create a large quantity of unwanted and uncontrolled light with variable colour temperature, so a major problem.

I don't see how a diffuser could help with that
