Location
This photo was taken in Santiago de Chile, on the summer while i was visiting my family there. I met this girl one day before the shooting, so i had to work a lot the trust for her to let me do this kind of photograph. We did the photo in her apartment, so she felt more calm and confidence to open her wolrd to me.Time
This was taken around 6 or 7 AM. When i got there was still dark, but i wanna that time because i love natural light and i try to do all my essays and shootings with natural light.Lighting
The light was very importante for this shooting because i wanted something more natural, i kind of photo where you can see that the photographer is not there.Equipment
i used in that time a canon T3i or 600D, 50 mm 1.8 and 1 reflective circle in silver to get more light in her shadows.Inspiration
i have seen lots of sensual essays and i wanted to try too. Its not easy because can be very vulgar sometimes, and is not everyphotographer who knows the difference between sexy and erotic. i think that i got what i want it!Editing
i used lightroom to treat the picture and i painted (literally) with some light in some areas to get more details on the picture.In my camera bag
nowdays i have my Canon 6D, whit my Canon T3i, a 24-105 f/4, a 50 mm 1.8, a 55 mm Helios 1.4, one flash, ND, CPL, UV filters, one tripod,and a bunch of small things that help sometimes.Feedback
Photography its not only do the "click", more in you photograph a person. You have to earn their trust, you have to talk whit them, know the history behind the person that you are doing to portrait, make them fell that you are not and stranger whit a camera in your hand. When the person do not feel that you are there "on top of her" you will get some amazing portraits and some greate histories to tell.
