Behind The Lens

Location

Caplan Studios on a white seamless vinyl.

Time

Afternoon

Lighting

I used two flagged-off heads to illuminate the seamless and prevent spill onto the subject. I wanted some density to the bkgd so I didn't go as bright on the vinyl. I used a gridded beauty dish above and the EyeLighter for fill.

Equipment

Canon 5D MK II with Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L IS II, Paul c Buff Einstein lights

Inspiration

This was taken during a workshop we hosted in our studio to feature various fashion designers and models, including the amazing Jane Love seen here.

Editing

Basic processing in Lightroom, NIK Color Efex, and Portrait Professional software were used.

In my camera bag

Canon 5Ds, 5D MK III, 7D MK II, 70-200 f/2.8, 24-105 f/4, 100 f2.8 macro, 11-24 f/4, four 600 EX RT Speedlites, various Singh-Ray and Lee filters, Induro legs, RRS BH-40 head, induro Gimbal head for the 500mm f/4 I use for birding.

Feedback

This image was an immediate favorite of mine not so much because of any tecnnical execution, but more so the collaborative efforts of having great styling, a thematic vision, and an incredible subject.
