Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken near Italian Style Street in Tianjin, ChinaTime
We met up early afternoon but captured this shot at the end of the shoot.Lighting
It was a bright sunny day so we shot primarily in the shade.Equipment
Nothing real fancy here, just my trusty Nik d90 and a 50mm lens.Inspiration
I was trying to capture her classic beauty against an even background with harsh lighting.Editing
I did some minor adjustments in photoshop, including softening her skin and sharpening her eyes,In my camera bag
I carry a wide assortment of lenses. If I am shooting landscape I generally leave the fixed lenses at home and take my Sigma 12-24, Nikon 24-85, and Nikon 70-300. For portraits I take My 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm along with the 24-85.Feedback
This particular shot isn't overly challenging. When shooting in mid day sun try to find a spot where you can diminish harsh shadows. With a model like her she'll mostly do the work, just have to find that moment. Be patient and pick your shots.
