Behind The Lens

Location

It was an indoor shooting at her place. Her boyfriend had to go a year abroad and she wanted something for him to remember her. She had organized a make-up artist to look even better.

Time

It was on a weekend around noon. We had to send her boyfriend away, to not ruin the surprise.

Lighting

I only used available light, in the bedroom, which was coming from her left side. I wanted to aid the shallow depth of field by the lighting.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D7000 with a Sigma 30mm/1.4

Inspiration

I used some inspirations from other Viewbug members, as-well as from different other sources like TV, Webpages and books. We discussed several compositions beforehand, but during a shooting I just see what happens and often just overthrow everything I planned before.

Editing

I do all my post-processing in Adobe Lightroom. Since I started with analog photography I'm trying to process the picture like it was/is possible with printouts. Adjusting contrast, increasing/reducing the light/dark areas etc.

In my camera bag

There is always my Nikon D7000 and one analog camera in my bag. The analog one ranges between Nikkormat FTn, Nikon F4s, Mamiya C3 or older mechanical cameras. Lens-wise I mostly use my Sigma 30mm/1.4 and the AF Mikro-Nikkor 60mm/2,8. Additionally I have a AF Nikkor 50mm/1.8 for low light situations and AF Nikkor 35-105/3.5-4.5 in my bag for increased versatility without changing the lens. Other equipment will be a 80cm gold/silver reflector, a couple of film rolls, an old Minolta Flash with "remote" trigger and some tissues to soften the flash.

Feedback

Just try to have an idea for the picture/pose/situation you are trying to create, but be flexible to react to change in the environment. Know your equipment very well. Communicate with your model, let her develop her/his own ideas and work together. Don't rush the shooting, take your time. And most of all: Have fun, don't take yourself too serious.
