Location
This image was taken in a local studio I rent in Belfast called Townhouse Studio where I do the majority of my shoots that are not on location.Time
All day shoot.Lighting
Standard beauty setting lighting set-up to compliment the hair styling and make-up.Equipment
Canon 3D Mark III, standard lens & Bowens lighting.Inspiration
I wanted to create something unique and memorable so decided to get a group of creative collectives together to try and achieve this.Editing
The image was taken into Lightroom, tweaked and then edited in editing software to create the unique look you see.In my camera bag
Generally just a camera body, lens and flash- I don't tend to do the normal photographer thing of loads of fancy equipment and lens and prefer to carry the minimum I can get away with. The pictures are only going to be as good as the idea & the person taking them. There is a false perception that you need to spend a fortune to achieve a good shot. Good planning and ideas are a far more important and underrated tool than fancy equipment and gadgets any day of the week...Feedback
Planning- this is the key! Sit down and sketch your ideas out beforehand and be sure of what exactly it is you want to capture before you get your creative team together. Do not be afraid to consult with your hair stylist, stylist or make-up artists for their advice and opinions as these are always helpful. They are experts in their own field and you should all be working in unison to create a memorable image.
