Location
I took this photo underneath a pergola at a local park. Always look up! I saw the vines and was instantly inspired to put my model up there in it.Time
This was taken late afternoon.Lighting
The lighting was especially difficult in this shot. It was a harsh backlight and underneath was so dark. I had to place a reflector on the ground to bounce light back to her face.Equipment
Canon 50D, 35mm lensInspiration
I was inspired by my surroundings. Always look around and think outside the box. Think of all the angles you could use, and never be afraid to get dirty!Editing
I use Lightroom for post-processing.In my camera bag
I always have my Canon Mark III, 85 1.8, 24-70, a 100 macro (because you just never know), a few speedlights, a reflector, and a snack!Feedback
Again, always look at your angles and think outside the box. Don't be afraid to get dirty or try something new. It might not work, but it might make something incredible!
