Location
I took this photograph in the studio at Plymouth College of Art.Time
In the morningLighting
I wanted quite even lighting, with soft shadow, so I had a strip soft box on either side of the model. I lite the background separately with harsher light as I wanted the textured to be shown in the backdrop. I shot on a slower shutter speed than usual as I wanted to capture slight movement and I appreciate the effect the slow shutter speed caused.Equipment
This was shot on Nikon D800e with a 50mm lensInspiration
How the dress is effected by the movement from when she's walking, how the bottom part can be emphasized.Editing
Yes, basic and simple skin retouching.In my camera bag
Nikon D800e, 50mm lens and 70mm lensFeedback
Find an inspirational dress that will give you ideas to express your vision. I bought my backdrop from a local fabric store and asked a friend to model for me, as we work well together.
