Location
This photo was taken in an old wooden house which belongs to friends of the family for ages. It has no electric or water supply and the toilet is still outdoor in the woods.Time
It was late afternoon andwe had beautiful natural light which was perfect for this pictureLighting
I love using natural light only whenever possible. I mostly only work with what's around or take an reflector to support the available light.Equipment
I work with the Canon Mark III and this picture was recorded with the canon 100mm macro lense (which I love for portraits) No further gear usedInspiration
The light at that moment was so beautiful so we had to try the portrait on the old bedEditing
Yes I lighten it up in photoshop and removed some blemishs which were bothering me. Some sharpening of the eyes to make them pop outIn my camera bag
I always have my Canon mark III, the canon 100mm macro 1.8, the Sigma Art 50mm 1.2 and the sigma Art 24mm with me. If I don't have to walk to long around I also take the Canon 80-200mm with me.Feedback
I always recommend to train your eye for natural lights. Try different places at different times of the day and different amount of natural light. Like this you learn pretty fast which light works for which kind of pictures and you learn to «see» the light you need for your picutres
