Behind The Lens

Location

Hi, the image is a crop of a set of photo's I took at David Rann's Fotofilia studio in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham UK in 2010. The lovely Model and currently top adult actress Tina Kay was the subject.

Time

Studio lighting around 13:00 hrs.

Lighting

This style of "hard" side lit images I love. Accentuating symmetry and line.

Equipment

My first SLR, Sony very basic and my introduction to RAW format. Hand held. Single studio flash.

Inspiration

I love the symmetry and beauty of the human form in any situation. But when the lighting is entirely at your control....heaven.

Editing

This image came completely by chance. I zoomed in, in Photoshop to check the resolution and fell in love with the close up, cropping it to the image you see.

In my camera bag

Now one or two Sony A77, Sony RX100 III. TTL flash. 18-70 lens. 50mm Prime, 200mm zoom. A couple of LED lights.

Feedback

Controlling the light is key. Doesn't matter if it's through a window, fill in flash, studio flash or constant light. Know what you want, work out how you think you want to do it and then be prepared to improvise!
