Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in my home studio in Ferrara, a little city located in the North of Italy.Time
I've shooted all the day, with some different lenses, different crops.Lighting
The lighting has been crucial in the project, the background and the sides had to be very strong in order to bring out more of the edges of the subject. front instead had to be very low to embellish the subject with shadows and contrasts.Equipment
Canon EOS 6D camera, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II lens, Canon EF 2X III extender, Sirui N3204 carbon fiber tripod with Sirui K40x head, n° 4 flashguns, reflectors, umbrellas & softboxes.Inspiration
Surely EXPO in my country as inspired me to be something inherent in the food, but also will to do something technically advanced yet simple: an apple.Editing
in this shot postproduction is very little, only some small exposure correction, sharpness localized to bring out the drops and a bit of contrast on the top of the apple. Shooting at studio I was able to get the shot as perfect as possible on camera.In my camera bag
Usually I carry with me a solid Tripod (Sirui N3204), the camera (Eos 6D), an wide angle zoom (Canon 16-35), a standard lens (Canon 50mm f/1.2), a telezoom (Canon 70-200 f/2.8), a teleconverter (Canon 2x), some extension tubes (Kenko), filters (Lee Filters), some flashes and some torches for night excursionsFeedback
carefully observe any subject, imagine him in a different way, experiment your ideas, try and try again! change positions, change lenses, change focus, change the light...
