Location
This image was actually taken in the models home, sitting in her hallway.Time
Approximately 5pmLighting
I wanted a dramatic, strong side light. As this was not a studio shoot and we were just making due in the models home, we had to improvise. The lighting is actually the flashlight from an iPhone aimed with the help of a plamp.Equipment
Camera is a Canon Rebel T3 with sigma 18-200 lens, iphone flashlight for lightingInspiration
Viewbug was having a fashion contest, and I wanted something simple yet dramatic. The model is a friend from university I have used for many shoots, and I found this hat in her closet which gave the image texture and depth.Editing
Cropping, adjustment of contrast to add depth and brightness, and also some gentle smoothing of facial lines using Elements.In my camera bag
Depends on what I am planning on shooting. If its a fashion shoot such as this, I have my plamp, a flash (Speedlight 430), reflector and tripodFeedback
Play with lighting options! We were pleasantly surprised that the light from her iphone created such an interesting and beautiful light!
