Location
I took this picture in the kitchen of an aspiring model in Manchester, EnglandTime
It was close to midday in winterLighting
I love to use dramatic lighting and strong shadows in my images, so am always on the lookout for the right circumstances in which to do so. In this instance, it was the strong sunlight shining into the model's kitchen that caught my eye, and I just placed her in the bright light (which meant sitting on the floor) and took a few snaps before the cat decided to join us....Equipment
This was taken with a Canon 5D MKiii and a Canon 24mm f1.4Inspiration
I was doing a portfolio shoot for the model anyway, and the light inspired the image. The cat had been following us around the whole morning, and when it strolled into the shot I knew there was something cool to be caught....Editing
I just converted the image to black-and-white to match the high-contrast look of the image and that's about it....In my camera bag
I'm a wedding photographer by trade, so have a range of prime Canon lenses from 14mm through to 100mm, and a 70-200mm, plus a couple of 5D Mkiii's and Godox flashesFeedback
My one bit of advice is one of the most important I feel....expose for the highlights!!
