Location
This photo was taken in my back yard in Newfoundland, Canada. It was a beautiful winters day so I contacted a model and asked if she would mind "getting cold" for a creative shoot.Time
This was done at about 4pm in the afternoon just after a snow storm in February.Lighting
I used simple lighting ...natural light and a reflector.Equipment
Nikon D800E, 24 - 85mm lens and a reflector.Inspiration
The beauty of the woods around me and the lighting after a snow storm.Editing
Simple basic photo shop with a little color correction and contract adjustment. Nothing else.In my camera bag
I have a D800E, D3 and D750 body, 70 - 200mm lens, 85mm lens, 24- 84mm lens (all 1.4 to 2.8 ) a SB910, lots of batteries and memory cards. A reflector and a lens baby. This is always ready to go. I have other equipment and other lens but this is what I always have ready.Feedback
Seize the moment! Sometimes the beauty is in nature and you do not have to always use studio lights and a controlled environment. Take a chance and "play" get to understand lighting and make it work for you.
