Behind The Lens

Location

This portrait of my daughter was taken in my home studio, using just window light. Have a look at my site here: http://arinathomsenphotography.com/

Time

Since I use natural light, I only photograph from 7 am to 2:30 PM. This was taken about 10 or 11 in am.

Lighting

Natural window light, no reflector.

Equipment

Canon Mark 5d Mark III, handhold, no flash. Canon 24-70mm f/2.8

Inspiration

My cute daughter can be very inspirational, when she looks into my eyes and tells me with her little sweet voice: Mommy, I like my dress, I am so beautiful! :-)

Editing

Yes, I always retouch and postprocess my work. My favorite software of all times is Alien Skin

In my camera bag

I don't have much equipment so far, but I love fast prime lenses. Right now I am using my new toy Canon 50 mm - f/1.2 all the time

Feedback

I followed advice of divine Bambi Cantrell on this: take portrait 45 degrees to the source of light, expose on highlights, take photo from the shadowy side of the face.
