Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in the studio of my friend Henry Gaviria, that day we had the participation of the beautiful model Zadys Johana Herrera, she is fitness instructor and have great dancing skills.

Time

We start the photoshoot early (9 AM) and get this beautiful image around of the middel of the day, I worked tethered all the time to verify focus and composition.

Lighting

The studio is white and we have some issues to control the light but at the end of the day the result was very positive, we need to use snoots, strips and softgrids

Equipment

I take his image in august of the 2012, at that time I use a Nikon Nikon D7000 with a AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.8G Lens, also use three SB-900 speedlights and some light modifiers, I also shoot tehered using Tether tools cable, an Alienware M11X laptop and a Vanguard tripod with Multimount head.

Inspiration

The Olympic Games and harmonious body of the model (coupled with his great athletic skills)

Editing

Yes, at this case my workflow start with CaptureOne in the scene and I made some adjustments during the session, then at home I use Photoshop to delete some blemishes, improve a little bit the skin of the model and make some color and sharpen corrections.

In my camera bag

Currently I always carry my Fujifilm X100T camera and when I will make landscapes use a Nikon D800E and several Nikkor and Sigma lenses also Lee or NiSi ND and GND Filters and B+W XS-pro MRC Digital filters; for studio or location also use several Nikon speedlights, Profoto Light Shaping Tools, Mag Mod Gel Filters, Vanguard Heavy Duty tripod and Avenger Booms and Ligth stands, also use my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 to shoot tethered.

Feedback

Try getting very skilled models, direct the light using softgrids, Snoots and honeycomp grids, work at low ISO and shoot with speeds above 1/200 to freeze the motion.
