This was taken at my studio in Switzerland Püntstrasse 3 in 8047 ZürichTime
It was the last set of a complete Jewel and Fashion shooting. Time to do some creativ things out of the row. Saturday 17.Jan. 2015 at 17.51 o'clockLighting
It is a studio lightning. I used two striplights on the left and right side of the models. The stiplights has gridsEquipment
I am a Canon shooter and I use the Canon EOS DX 1. In this case I used my alround zoom lens of Canon the 28 - 300mm. The flashes are Hensel. 1 Nova D 2400 Generator and 2 EH Mini I SpeedInspiration
Both models have this amazing long hair and we thought what would be the best position to show this in a creative frame. It was not easy to find a position for me to take this photo. I used a high ladder and have to lean me over the models. I was about 2,5 meters high. My assistant was holding the ladder.Editing
I always do a post processing and I do it by my own. I use the Adobe Bridge and the RAW Converter to set up the right contrasts and colors. In Adobe CC photoshop I do at first the skin retouching. I use the frequenzy seperation to make the skin clean, than dodge and burn to set the highlights and shadows. After that I use the detail extractor from the Google Efex Pro 4 filters to give some parts of the picture a deep sharp. A little bit skin toning and that's it.In my camera bag
I use a photocase Peli 1510. 2 cams Canon EOS D5 Mark II and a Canon EOS DX 1. My Canon lenses are 28 -300 mm zoom, 24 - 70 mm zoom, 85 mm lens, 50 mm and a Sigma wide lens 12-24mm. Also a Speedlite 580EXII flash. And for some reasons I have a lightmeter from Gossen Digipro F and a Colorchecker x-rite.Feedback
Don't start with a picture like this.. You need so much time to find the right positions and lightnings.. But be always in a playing mood. If you have a good shooting running and everybody is happy, than it is time to do some special.. Try to do this at the end of a shooting... Always start with easy things.. For me it is a rule.. The first set ist to get a relationship to each other. Model, Visa, Assistant and so on. I don't need the super shots in the first set.. Its all about finding a good feeling together. The 2.set and 3. set will bring the best results and the last set has to be fun for everybody.. This set will bring maybe the amazing results of a shooting. Dont do more as 4 sets.. You will start to do mistakes and the models are tired about the posings and flashings..
