Behind The Lens

Location

I took it in my home studio, which I set up in my living room whenever I have a shoot.

Time

In the evening.

Lighting

Two gridded 22" beauty dishes from the sides and slightly behind the model, and a single 5 foot octabox on camera right about 7 feet from the model and angled almost perpendicular to the backdrop.

Equipment

Canon 5DMKIII, Canon 70-200 2.8L IS lens, 3 studio strobe lights.

Inspiration

The wonderful costume and makeup that Defenz Mechanizm brought to the shoot.

Editing

The image was shot on a neutral gray background, and I added the background in post processing using OnOne Software's Perfect Effects. Image processed in Lightroom 4, Photoshop, and OnOne's Suite.

In my camera bag

I normally carry my 5DMKIII, with Canon 24-105 F4L IS lens attached, either a Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS lens, or a Canon 100-400L IS lens (depending on what I'm going to shoot), a single flash with a couple of small modifiers, a gray card, and some extra batteries.

Feedback

Make friends with an awesome costumer!
