Location
This photo was taken on the roof of the Queen Marie Theatre in Oradea Romania, with a backround view of the city center of my town, Oradea.Time
The photo was taken in a clowdy afternoon around 17 pmLighting
For this photo i used only natural light.Equipment
I used a canon 5D MRK II with a 70-200 F2.8 lends.Inspiration
I love to photograph dancers in an urban setting and this time we used the black swan story as an inspiration for the shooting.Editing
I am not a big fan of over procesed images. In this case a did a skin retouching and a black and white filter in PhotoshopIn my camera bag
The equipment in mai bag depends on the shooting and the space. But generaly i have my body 5D MRK II, my 50 mm 1.8 because it's easy and compact my external flash with triggers for off camera use and most of the time especially for open air shootings the 70-200 mm 2.8 lends (my favorite lends so far) sometimes i have a 16-35 mm 2.8 or a 24-105 mm 4.0 as a wide lends and if i want to capture something in particular the 85 mm 1.2 lends.Feedback
The most important element in this photo shoot, the one that made it a succesful one and that matterd the most, was the model and the comunication between us. The setting is impressive but the model was fearless. In this shoot she is standing right on the edge of the theatre roof. Having a good dancer that understands the indications it's a plus.
