Location
Traverse City, Michigan while on a revisit to the area I set up a studio session to shoot a clothing line or a couple of new clients.Time
After scouting a location for a studio I ended up in a new space on the second floor of downtown Traverse City, it was 3:00 pm when this image was shot.Lighting
I wanted to show off the head piece, called a bird cage. This was part of a campaign for vintage wear for an antiques dealer. I don't quite remember the set up because there was so much going on that day with shooting all the different clothing and accessories.Equipment
The camera I used for this setting was a Canon 5D mark III with a 70-200 lens, my old solid aluminum Manifroto tripod which I love, although its heavy but solid. I brought some of my own gear for lighting. Easy and portable Alien Bee's. 3 in total.Inspiration
The models name is Sasha. Her natural long neck and slender profile was intriguing.Editing
Yes... all of my images are delevoped just as you would in a dark room with film. Shooting raw produced a very flat image and therefore needs to be developed. I usually take it further in post processing to be creative. Although I am not certain, I believe I dodge and burned and created a filter effect like plastic wrap for this image.In my camera bag
I have been shooting with Canon camera's for 25 plus years. My bag usually has 16-35 mm f\2.8, 24-105mm f\4.0, 50mm f\1.4, and sometimes a 70-200 2.8. I always carry two 600 RT Canon flashes and the controller for the flashes so they can be used remotely. Extra batteries for the camera and the flashes, ND and polarizing filter, and flash gels. I carry a back pac style carry bag from LowePro that I have had for years and is still in great shape.Feedback
Lighting is the key. Always have a vision or better yet a similar image, sketch, or story board of images you can share with your talent so you can carry that appearance and feel through to others on set, from the makeup and lighting people to the model(s). Practice, practice, practice.
