Behind The Lens
Location
In the studio.Time
N/ALighting
I used two lights, the main to the left of the camera and a fill to the right and slightly behind the model.Equipment
This was shot on Tri-X film using a Leica M4 with a 50mm f2 Summicron lens.Inspiration
This was shot for a juried Halloween themed show. I was going for a campy 60s Morticia/Vampira horror movie look which I think Crystal pulled off quite well. Unfortunately the jury didn't think it was worthy of the show.Editing
I just scanned the negative and did some minor contrast adjustment in Photoshop. I still have the film mentality of getting it right in the camera.In my camera bag
Usually a spare body, a couple of lenses and a light meter.Feedback
Keep it simple and find a good model.
