I found it interesting that you broke some "rules." Which I enjoy... :-) Like having her dead center, her head is beginning to go off, etc, but it all works VERY well... The pose in her hand fights for focus too... That's interesting too.. Very nice...

Location
This photo was taken at Hoxton Street Studios London, a great spacious studio with plenty of room for multiple set ups. This was taken during a workshop with Lara Jade and her team who helped make this photo happen.Time
This was taken in the afternoon as it was indoors time of doesn't really factor into this photo.Lighting
This was a very simple set up by Matt, it was using a Broncolor 5ft Octobox positioned close, above and straight on from the model. The light is softer when the source is closer and the Broncolor Box really provides such beautiful light.Equipment
This was shot on a Canon 6D using the Canon 85mm 1.2L USM with ISO100 at 1/60Inspiration
Ozzy was the stylist for this shoot and his choice of this stunning white dress was a superb match for the background. The inspiration for me in this shot was to provide a classic picture that looks and feels timeless. With Ozzy's styling, Leah's make up and Ranelle's hair work I truly feel like we achieved that.Editing
I do all my post processing myself and I am like Dani Diamond, I shoot to edit as I really do enjoy doing it. I mostly use dodge and burn along with a tiny bit of frequency separation to fix small unwanted shadows. Along with those I tend to use selective colour and curves to achieve the toning and feel that I want to achieve.In my camera bag
I could not leave the house to take pictures without my Canon 85mm 1.2, it is one of my favourite lenses and truly anyone can take beautiful pictures with this lens!! I also cary my trusty Canon 50mm 1.2 along with my Sigma 35 Art 1.4 and my Canon 70-200 1.2L. It has taken a while to purchase all of these lenses but I couldn't live without them. If I am away on short trips and am stuck for space I usually just take my 85, 50, and my Canon 16-35 f4L IIFeedback
I am truly one for experimentation along with common knowledge. Don't always stick to the rules and try breaking a few just to see what happens. Don't be afraid to make mistakes as sometimes they are some of your best work and you don't even realise. Always be inspired by others and continue to learn from those whom you look up to! Thank you Lara for inspiring me and for your wealth of knowledge that you share with the world over x
