Location
The photo were taken in a gym called "Kraftwerk – the fitness company" in Kirchberg near Bern, Switzerland.Time
We started with the photoshooting at 10:00 and ended at 12:15.Lighting
The only light was only the ambient light in the gym. So there where not perfect light conditions but I used the somewhat low light conditions for the grainy look of the pictures.Equipment
For this picture the Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art has been used. No additional gear (such as reflectors, flashes etc.) were used.Inspiration
The goal was to make some cool fitness style portraits of this strong young man.Editing
After selecting the photos I choose the color look for each set, then I correct, if necessary, the light of the picture a little bit. Then I cropped the pic and that's it.In my camera bag
For my portrait shootings I usually use my full format DSLR with a set of (relatively) fast primes: A 45mm, a 85mm or 90mm macro, and a 135mm, the magnificent Sigma 24-35mm f2.0 Art Zoom for the slightly wider angles and sometimes a 70-200mm (if I need it for longer distances).Feedback
With a cool idea and a relaxed model in a good mood you have nearly everything you need. Then choose your shooting location and watch the light during the shoot. A camera with manual control (but don't forget: the best camera is the one you have with you) and then go for it. And yes, don't forget to do some the post-processing ;-)
