Behind The Lens

Location

Ghost Studio - Darlington, UK

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

2 banks of Kino Flows

Equipment

Nikon D3S with Tamron 90mm Macro lens

Inspiration

All the colours seemed to work well from the deep blues to the light beiges and combined well with the soft wrap-around lighting

Editing

Skin smoothing and contrast tweaks was all I did

In my camera bag

Nikon D3S, Nikon D300, Fuji X-Pro1 and Fuji X-E1

Feedback

Just shoot and shoot and shoot - try long focal lengths combined with large apertures to see what effects they have on a portrait
