Brilliant execution, and the subject is a portrait photographer's dream. One of my all time favorite images on Viewbug!!

Hi Laurent, I was hoping that you would sell a print of this photo. It is just fantastic. Or perhaps you would like to trade some shots. Please let me know.

Location
I took this photo at Valbacol, this is one of my favorite spot, despite the fact everything burnt this summer.Time
This was around 10:00-11:00 am on a summer day.Lighting
The light was a bit hard, but I placed Cloé on a red rock shadow.Equipment
I usually shoot with a 6D, and portrait lens, 135 F2, 85 1.8 mainly.Inspiration
Definitely I was inspired by her face, with freckles and red hair, I was so lucky to have the chance to shoot her, especially has she lives 800 km away from me, but came in south of France for a weekend.Editing
I did post process on Light Room only, and quite rapid post process as the raw was almost good to me, just enhanced freckles and eyes.In my camera bag
I always bring too many lenses, I think I could go only with my 135 mm, but I have also a 14F2.8, 35F2, 50F1.4, 85F1.8 90TSE F2.8 and 135F2.Feedback
Take your time to find the good spot with the good light, place the model according to relfections of light even on a shadow area (there are always reflections), make sure she is confident, confortable, and let her express herself, this will be more natural.
