Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Wasserburg am Inn, a small town in southern Bavaria, Germany.

Time

It was in the late afternoon. It just started snowing for the first time that winter, so I grabbed my girlfriend to take some pictures in the snow. Right after we took that image, the snow was gone and turned to rain again.

Lighting

I usually use artifical light - for that image though, I had just available light without any reflectors.

Equipment

That actually was a good while ago - I think I used a Canon 600D or 60D. I also used my Canon 85mm f1.8 - that's it.

Inspiration

Snow! I wanted a dreamy photo with snowflakes and some warm light to compliment her red hair. That's why I placed her in front of the lantern.

Editing

I sure used post-processing. I'm not really proud of what I did though. I mainly enhanced the mood and look of the image and messed around with "retouching" the model as well. Actually, I'm not doing photography anymore but transitioned to retouching beauty and fashion. That's why I really think the "retouching" in that image sucks ;)

In my camera bag

I usually use my Canon 6D with the 85mm f1.8 and 135mm f2. I love the look of long portrait lenses - it's not comparable to anything else. When shooting fashion, I sometimes also used the Sigma 50mm f1.4 art.

Feedback

Being spontaneous worked kind of fine for me. It works only to a certain level though. When you want to reach for the stars, you need to plan out your shoots and every detail of it. That wasn't for me, that's why I quit and found my passion in retouching. To create that particular look I wanted to mix warmth with cold. Use a color palette ideally beforehand (I highly recommend this one: http://colorschemedesigner.com/csd-3.5/) to prepare what you're going for. I chose an magenta-orange-blue analogic scheme.
