Inspiration
I always get inspired by people around me and by different cultures and how would that translate into a fashion photograph. In this photo you can see the geisha inspired lips and the porcelain face, so static, but with emotion in the eyes.
Editing
I did correct some small blemishes, did a black and white, contrast and sharpen.
In my camera bag
The 50mm 1.4 and a 24mm 2.8, a tripod, remote control and some lights for industrial use.
Feedback
If you have a studio, even better, but if not all you need is a single light. If you want softer shadows you can use a softbox and a dark background. Make sure you have a faster shutter speed around 1/200-1/250 and a smaller aperture (so a higher number) like f/5.6 or if your light allows a f/9.
