I just think this photo is fantastic:) It's difficult to get just the right angle when working with mirrors and you nailed it! It reveals everyday beauty and elegance. Superb!

Behind The Lens

Location
This was shot in a small basement studio.
Time
It was mid afternoon with no natural light available.
Lighting
I used 3 speed lights all with softboxes, 1 on a boom and 2 on regular stands.
Equipment
3 Nikon SB910s, 3 12 inch softboxes, nikon d810 and 24-70 2.8 Nikkor lens.
Inspiration
We set up of a bored 50's housewife theme and ended up working with the mirror some.
Editing
Yes, I used lightroom and added some emphasis on highlights clarity and sharpened a few areas of the image.
In my camera bag
Nikon D810, 24-70 2.8 Nikkor, 70-200 2.8 Nikkor and a sigma 50mm 1.4 art. Also, filters cleaning supplies and 3 Nikon SB910s.
Feedback
Make sure your lights are all out of visibility of the mirror if using one, and keep your lights on a low power.
