This was mid-late morning.Lighting
All natural lighting here!Equipment
I used my Sony A-58 and Tamron 18-270mm lensInspiration
I had 3 ladies that wanted to do fun Bohemian style photos. The inspiration was Lana Del Ray and boho styled clothing.Editing
I did post-process in Lightroom, and I brought out the shadows and did black & white to bring out this lovely lady's dramatic eyes.In my camera bag
I always have my camera, plus 3 lenses. I have the original lens that came with the camera, plus a 18-270mm and a 150-600mm lens. I also have my tripod on hand just in case.Feedback
Photographing people is fun and challenging. Bonnie here is a natural at giving good face and she did her makeup herself. To catch something similar, just go out and try it. It helps when you have an easy subject to photograph, but even if the person is not as easy to photograph, it helps you build your skills in giving direction and trying new looks. Who knows what it'll turn out like! That's part of the fun.
