Location
This Photo was taken outdoors in natural light. We were on the front porch of our city hall. There are several white pillars and the light there is fabulous. Its one of my favorite places because the beautiful light bounces all around the white porch.Time
We shot this around 4pm.Lighting
See above.Equipment
I used my Canon 5D III and 70-200 2.8 lens.Inspiration
My daughter was stunning in her gold and off white prom dress. It was her idea to use gold glitter.Editing
I used basic editing in Adobe Camera Raw and used Portrait Pro for minimal skin smoothing and eye brightening.In my camera bag
I have a Canon 5D III along with a 7D for backup. I have 70-200 2.8, 28-70 2.8, and several prime lenses such as 100 2.8 macro, 85 1.8, 50 1.4, 40 2.8 & 28 1.8. I also have Canon Speedlites 580 EX II and 600EX-RT.Feedback
It was hard to get the focus on the eyes because of the blowing glitter. i had to turn off auto focus and focus directly on her eyes before she blew.
