I took this outdoors in the setting sunlight.Time
It was taken just before the light faded, approximately 30 minutes before sunset.Lighting
It's natural light, warm and soft. I did not use a reflector or any sort of flash.Equipment
I shoot with a Canon 5DSr, Canon 85mm 1.2. No tripod, no flash.Inspiration
