Behind The Lens

Location

I took it in my studio in Paris

Time

It was the middle of the afternoon

Lighting

Big room, first floor with two big windows and a hard wood floor. I'd say 15% came from natural light and the rest was from 3 softbox. 2200W total; a small one came from the top and 2 from the sides.

Equipment

A canon 6D, a 85mm lens canon lens, a manfrotto tripod and no flash.

Inspiration

I could answer that in a thousand way. I met her a couple days before we worked together; her story inspired me.

Editing

I use RAW CR2 files when I shoot, so the retouching process is way faster and easier than with jpegs.

In my camera bag

6D canon, 150-600 Tamron, 50mm Canon, 85 mm Canon, 100mm macro Canon and a 24-105 Canon lens. One tripod and one monopod.

Feedback

Make your model confortable. That is the key! She should trust you, she should be relaxed and she should have fun posing!
