In my diy "home studio"Time
I think it was noon..but it doesn't really matter cause the light isn't natural but artificial..Lighting
Yes..i wanted a studio flash result but I shot using video lights I didn't use any flashlight at all!Equipment
I love my Canon 700d and that's the camera I used..it may not be a professional camera but it is definitely value for money!!i also used the loved one.. nifty fifty...you know what I mean...50mm 1.8Inspiration
Just the eyes of that woman and the shape of everything on her face... I just wanted to she her showing a distance between herself and the viewer.. And like this I created a challenge I wanted to win!! Can an ordinary girl look like a professional model??Editing
Kostis Keritis following my advices about make up and colours made the post processing and gave the photo that glance and that "something more" I think using photoshop..oh he is an excellent retoucher...he hasn't won all these awards accidentally...In my camera bag
Sa la laaaa...my canon (700d) and my nifty fifty...looooots of batteries and now days a small portable tripod and a shutter release cable!!Feedback
You just have to find the connection between you and your model You must understand how she sees her self and what she needs to hear for feeling comfortable and beautiful ..That woman is an ordinary girl..a friend of mine I just asked her to take some pics of her...of course I knew what I wanted to do but I never told her "hey I want some glamorous photos of you" I tried to make her feel the feeling I wanted to see in her eyes...we spent a lot of time just talking in the middle of the shooting to guide her feel that woman she looks like.. It doesn't matter the equipment you choose...I wanted a studio flash result but I couldn't afford it..So I tried to do my best using the existing equipment.. Yes you need a professional make up artist and Yianna Moss made an excellent job!! So lucky working with her.. This picture is my proof that we look like we feel!!
