Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken in the park, in one of the suburbs of St. Petersburg, Russia, in my workshop dedicated to shooting portraits in natural light.

Time

This is an early summer evening, the shade is too hard.

Lighting

To avoid too sharp and deep shadows on the delicate skin of the face of a young girl photo taken in the shade of the trees, but in order to show the warmth and sunshine of a summer evening as the background is selected edge of the field, which are clearly visible oblique light rays among the trunks of trees and foliage In addition to uniformly illuminate the face gently applied white reflector lights from afar.

Equipment

camera Canon 5d, lens Canon 24-70 mm 2,8 L, white reflector

Inspiration

Beautiful place, beautiful light and beautiful girl - what else is needed in order to want to take a photo? It may be more common state of nature and mood of the photographer...)

Editing

photo transferred to the black-and-white, contrast is aligned

In my camera bag

Of course, the necessary equipment I take with me depending on a planned shooting, but usually not to carry a excess weight, I limit myself in my bag one camera, and a pair of lenses, a small reflector, UV, polarizing and neutral gray filters.

Feedback

I would advise photographers to always be careful while walking and noticed a beautiful light, interesting places and time for the shoot, where you can come back next time with the model, and during the actual recording notice and to use all possible and unplanned opportunity, to let in the frame flash changes in the weather and all kinds of surprises, to get a unique and inimitable live frame surrounding the use of available funds and the state of nature. Since I often take pictures of nudity, I always note for myself available secluded places, various artifacts, trees, interesting buildings, which are then used in the pictures, trying to enter the nudity in them.
