Location
This was a model photo shoot in Fair I’ve Pub, Vancouver, BC Canada. This is a pub that opened later but allowed us to have an early Sunday soot to photograph unusual images of our models. It was one of the photographers who organized it.Time
It was a morning I believe as the pub was to open late in the day. It’s been a while so not certain as it may have been early afternoon.Lighting
I used window light for this image. There were areas where the light was red, such as on the stage for bands etc. I did take other images, some with the red light. I really liked this model so asked her to position near the window to ensure I would get sufficient light. I was happy with the outcome.Equipment
As it’s been a while, I am not certain. I am sure that at the time I was using an Olympus DSLR camera, hand held & natural light. No tripod of course. This was early in learning about my camera settings & composition, etc.Inspiration
The model inspired me for this particular image as she was excellent & moved around a lot so I just had to say what I thought looked best.Editing
At that time I believe I used a free program called Picasa, which was quite good & user friendly. Now I use photoshop elements which I find to be an excellent program for my needs.In my camera bag
I usually have my Nikon D7200 camera, my 18-250 Sigma as it is my favorite walk around lens. I keep my Sigma 100-400 for birding, my Sigma 10-20 Wide angle for architecture & some landscapes & my Nikon 60 macro lens in the car when going on a shoot where I’m unsure of what I need. If we are doing a particular theme, then may just take my 18-250 & one other. I have my tripod as well. Flash only if I feel it may be needed.Feedback
If you can’t afford a specific portrait lens with f2.8 then I think the best is a zoom lens, which is what I used for this portrait.
