Location
The Brick wall was from a street in Mirfield Yorkshire and the Embrace was done in my studio at home.Time
Not too relevant but the brick wall was in the evening of an overcast day so that I had a fairly neutral background to work with.Lighting
Just 2 rear strobes and 2 front strobes.Equipment
Canon Eos 5D SRInspiration
My son owns a Crossfit Gym in Norway and I often think he is built like a brick s@%t houseEditing
You might have spotted there has been some post processing. Firstly the wall had to be completed and angled the way I wanted it. Then with the subjects cut out I started to layer different sections of my son. There were maybe 20 different sections of brick layers with their masks all of which had to be scaled, positioned, warped and blended. In total there was around 9 hours editing with the first pass then another 3 hours editing of the bits I wasn't happy with.In my camera bag
I have a lot of camera gear and my favourite kit depends on what genre I am doing. Favourite wildlife lens Canon EF 400 f 2.8, portrait Canon 85mm f1.2, general Canon Ef 24-105, Cameras are Canon 5D SR and 5D mk4. I have 2 sets of studio lights and diffusers depending on whether I am working in a studio or out on location.Feedback
Just believe that anything is possible. All you have to do is work out how to achieve it. Plan first and take components specific to the final image. This will make editing easier afterwards.
