Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in a small children's room while my kids were outdoors for a walk.Time
It was late in the evening this summer. I was waiting with impatience for my 13-year old slender model with a very beautiful name Marta who hardly managed to borrow tutu at the theater for one day to make at least one memory photo in it before quitting the ballet school. I hope she'll never do this:)Lighting
As I am very fresh in photography, I started taking photos regulary only after giving birth to my second son during my maternity leave. And at the very beginning I had only two grid light modifiers for my Speedlites 580EXII and no wireless flash trigger transceivers at all. So I can say with a confidence that this photo was taken by chance while I was standing on the ladder and one flash just did not work, this is how my first masterpiece was born.Equipment
Canon 7D Mark II, Lens Canon EF-S 17-55 F/2.8, no tripod, Sppedlite 580EXII for Canon and two grid light modifiers.Inspiration
I adore ballet and it was my childhood dream to become a ballet-dancer.Editing
Post-processing was done in Capture One 8 Windows.In my camera bag
As a rule I take my Canon 7D Mark II and two lens: Canon EF-S 17-55 F/2.8 and Canon lens EF 50mm 1:1.4Feedback
It is difficult for me to give any advice for other photographers as I do need them myself.
