Birmingham, Alabama at the Clubhouse on Highland, a beautiful arts and craft style home built in 1910.Time
This photo was taken in the early afternoon moments before the firsts guests began to arrive for the wedding. The bride sat down to collect her thoughts before making her entrance.Lighting
The bride was seated in front of a small window so the light shining in behind her created striking contrast and shadow.Equipment
Canon 7D 50mm 1.4Inspiration
lighting and timing and a moment to be remembered.Editing
I process my photographs using Lightroom most of the time. For this particular image I converted it to black and white in post processingIn my camera bag
Canon 5D Mark II. 50mm 1.4, 200mm L2.8, 17-40mm f/4Feedback
When shooting backlit window light portraits I find that using spot metering is effective to get good exposure. I prefer using natural light and in this particular image it gave the image a softer look but maintains the powerful contrast between light and dark.
