Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken in Iowa Park, Texas.Time
This was taken about 30 minutes before sunset in the winter time so about 4.30 pm.Lighting
It was winter, and cold and dreary.. but it set a great mood. I had them face the direction of the light.Equipment
This was a Nikon D 4s with a 70-200 vr 11. No flash and no tripod. I know a lot of photographers would cringe, but i never use a tripod on location. I just don't see it, especially when you have children involved.Inspiration
I love the interaction between people and their animals and asked her to squat down and nuzzle the horse...Editing
Yes! I almost always add contrast and sharpening and go for rich , clean edits.In my camera bag
My FAVORITE lens is my Nikon 200 mm f.2 and i use it whenever i can! My second favorite is the 70-200 vr 11. I always have at least two cameras with me, my D 4s and D 810 and a lot of times i have my third, the D 4. I don't like to change lenses outside so i keep the 200 F.2 on the D 4s , the 70-200 on the D 810 and usually a wide angle , the 24-70 the most. Probably my other favorite lens is my macro lens the 105. I am loving constant lighting, and love the use the ice light outdoors when needed.Feedback
Patience, always! Know what you are going for before you get to your session. I almost always spend 30 minutes to an hour a day on inspiration before a session. I try to plan out exactly what i want. Does that always happen? No, hardly ever! Especially with animals and children!
