Location
This photo is a typical studio shoot. It was taken in a small but nice studio in Warsaw,Time
For studio shoots time of day is not important but in this case... it was late afternoon, and our model was after long day :)Lighting
I used only one lamp, just in front of model face. During postproduction I've made some manipulation with lighting to hide background and to create central focus on model's face and t-shirt.Equipment
I used Canon 5D Mk III with Canon 85 f/1.2 lens. This shoot I took without tripod. Of course with studio light (one) with modifier to make the light softer.Inspiration
The answer is only one - Charlie Chaplin :) This great comedian was a part of my childhood. I love his movies even now. His sense of humor was great and make me laugh all the time when I see his hat and mustache :)Editing
Of course :) I've done my typical post-processing starting from Camera Raw to make this picture more dramatic. Later, using Photoshop and curves I've made a converstion to B&W.In my camera bag
My typical equipment: Canon 5D Mk III, Canon lens: 50 f/1.2, 85 f/1.2 135 f/2 (the best one!). I'm shooting using analog camera - Contax 645.Feedback
Two advices: - find a patient model - this kind of picture need to be done with model standing in the same position for a long time - find the best lights setup - remember what you want to show and what you want to hide
