Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in October 2015 and it was a studio production. This photo is part of a series about glasses and sunglasses. The label called piazzitta. They do frames out of wood.

Time

It was in the morning.

Lighting

This is a two lightning situation. I used two flashes with umbrella reflectors and placed it on the right and left side behind the model. In the left glass you can see a little part of the umbrella. It gave the picture a little extra.

Equipment

I am a Canon shooter and I use the Canon EOS DX 1. The lens is my Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM. The flashes are Hensel. 1 Nova D 2400 Generator and 2 EH Mini I Speed

Inspiration

We tried several posings and made also other pictures, but this one works the best. It gives a cool feeling and creates a sensual look and shadow line on the model

Editing

I always do a post processing and I do it by my own. I use the Adobe Bridge and the RAW Converter to set up the right contrasts and colors. In Adobe CC photoshop I do at first the skin retouching. I use the frequenzy seperation to make the skin clean, than dodge and burn to set the highlights and shadows. After that I use the detail extractor from the Google Efex Pro 4 filters to give some parts of the picture a deep sharp. A little bit skin toning and that's it.

In my camera bag

I use a photocase Peli 1510. 2 cams Canon EOS D5 Mark II and a Canon EOS DX 1. My Canon lenses are 28 -300 mm zoom, 24 - 70 mm zoom, 85 mm lens, 50 mm and a Sigma wide lens 12-24mm. Also a Speedlite 580EXII flash. And for some reasons I have a lightmeter from Gossen Digipro F and a Colorchecker x-rite.

Feedback

the challenge of shooting glasses.. You always need an angle that is not the same direction as the cam. Let the model look a little bit up or down. If the model looks straight to the cam you can see yourself in the glasses and if there is a light source in front this is also visible in the glasses. So a little bit up or down reduces the reflections. And take time.. This is a millimeter work sometimes. You need a model that can hold posings..
