Location
The Picture was taken in my home studio, a room of 4.5m*5m. Since there is no door to the next room and the entrance is around 1.5m wide I can stand in there and get some extra 2, 3mTime
it was vvening - but, again, it was in the studio :-)Lighting
I used 2 flashes: 1 controlling the shades (135cm octa box) and the leading light (70cm beauty dish with grid).Equipment

I wanted a look with a mild melancholic undertone, no fancy stuff.Editing
I added some contrast in post, micro contrast and made the vignette stronger on the right side (similar to the right side).In my camera bag
In my bag there is usually my camera, 2 zooms (16-35/4 & 70-200/2.8) and the following fixed lenses: 24/1.4, 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.2. My bag is pretty heavy. In may home studio my favorite lenses are 85/1.2, 50/1.4 and 35/1.4 but the 85 is my fav in the studioFeedback
Every shooting try to expand your portfolio with a few unusual shots. After a hour or so I try a few shots and break rules like "rule of thirds", "the models face has to be sharp" etc. or do shots with a "unusual" mood (melancholy, Anger etc) Even if the shots are not as expected we have lots of fun shooting these
