Location
This was taken in my home in North Kingstown, RI - in our guest roomTime
About 10AMLighting
Beautiful window light behind the model - with a reflector bouncing bcd light into her faceEquipment
Shot with a Nikon D3s with a 24-70mm Nikon lens - all natural lightInspiration
This is my favorite model - she's beautiful inside and out. I tried to capture her personalityEditing
Basic Lightroom for slight exposure compensation - then a round trip into Photoshop to use the Portraiture Plug-in for some minor retouching, then Color Efex for Classic softening with my favorite - darken/lighten center. Finished with just a bit of sharpening of the eyesIn my camera bag
Nikon D3s with 24-70, 70-200 and an 85. For studio lights, it's Profoto D1'sFeedback
Soft filtered lighting, focus on the eyes with a wide open aperture t let everything else fall out of focus. The real secret - find yourself a 'Christina' - almost hard to take a bad picture of her :-)
