Behind The Lens
Location
This portrait was taken in my home studio which is in my garden in Bournemouth.Time
Taken during the afternoon but I was using two softboxes as my light source so there was plenty of time to work through the planned shots.Lighting
I find constant lighting an advantage for headshots as it allows great control when positioning the lights and metering purposes.Equipment
I was using a Canon 6D mounted on a tripod with a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 USM lens. No flash needed but due to softboxes not being that powerful I set the ISO to 800.Inspiration
The shoot was for the model's portfolio so various outfits were used however I suggested trying the coat with the hood up to frame the model's face.Editing
Some minor tweaks to highlight levels and background.In my camera bag
I have upgraded to the wonderful Canon 5DR S which offers incredible levels of detail and dynamic range. Lenses are key and for portraits I tend to use the Canon prime 85mm f/1.2 lens along with the Canon 70-20mm f/2.8 L USM. The other essential when outdoors is Lee filters.Feedback
I would recommend careful choice of clothing - colours that suit the model and backgrounds that do not over-power the subject. I prefer a natural grey, black or white for portraits now which avoids clashing colours with the model.
