Behind The Lens
Location
This portrait of soprano Sarah Gabriel was taken at a Georgian Townhouse in Finsbury Square in Central London.Time
On a very cold January morning in 2013Lighting
I am a huge advocate of natural lighting, with the addition of a reflector for added benefit.Equipment
I used only my Nikon D80 a la main, no other equipment used and no flash.Inspiration
Sarah wanted to have some photographs taken as she had been lent a Vivienne Westwood dress for a few days, our mutual friend had access to this location and the huge sash windows were perfect for dramatically lighting her features.Editing
If any, I just used Photoshop to enhance any highlights and remove any minor blemishes.In my camera bag
Spare SC cards, Nikon 50mm fixed lens, Tamron telephoto and wide angle lenses, Nikkor 18-55mm lens and a recently acquired lesser expensive wide angle macro lens. Plus the usual cleaning gubbins!Feedback
Having a good relationship with the subject, perfect location with plenty of access to natural light, being open to creative ideas and suggestions, timing, composure and most of all being relaxed, flexible and having fun! All these ingredients make for a stunning result I find!
