She's gorgeous and exudes strength of character. She's in TV, right?! The soft blurred background is awesome.

Great job, Verity. Could you please tell me whether the photo was treated with an application for make-up the model, like Portrait Pro or equivalent?

Hi Gefaell, no on this model I didn't feel the need to do anything apart from a little contrast and I may have worked on her eyes a little with CS5. I do this by dodging and burning.

Location
I took this image in a graveyard in Nottingham. We had permission first though.Time
As far as I can remember it was in the afternoon.Lighting
I did use hi sync flash so I could use a wide aperture and fast shutter speed so that the image would not be overexposed and the background not too sharp. I also needed to use flash for the shadows.Equipment
It would have been my Nikon D3 and Nikon speedlight.Inspiration
The Scottish Widow adverts.Editing
It was quite basic really. Just a bit of level adjustment in Photoshop. I try to get as much as I can in the camera.In my camera bag
Nikon D500 and the Nikon z6 11. 70 200mm and 24 70mm and a 50mm F1.4 in case of low light.Feedback
Get yo know your model and her best facial side. Make her feel comfortable. If you need to do anything experimental, practice on a family member before going out into the field with your Model.
