Location
The photo was taken in a studio of a friend in Munich.Time
It is a studio photo, so the time of day is not really relevant. I took it on May 30, 2015 at 3 pm.Lighting
I have worked with some studio flashes. Here the light is coming from above. A bit like the sun. I love to experiment with light and shadow, because pictures with shadowy parts are always looking particularly exciting to me. There is an additional small light for the background. This is important for my work. It gives me the possibility to merge in textures and overlays later. I love the work with textures. It gives the photo something new.Equipment
This was a shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III with a 24-105mm lens, 1/125 sec. and f/6,3. And studio flash.Inspiration
On that day we planned to make stylings with flowers and blossoms. Especially with dried flowers. As always, we had to be pretty inventive with the dress because we did not have a big budget. We simply took a wondrous red translucent cloth. It is always very surprising what one can achieve despite a small budget.Editing
This image is a fairytale image. Therefore, the skin has to be very beautiful and flawless. So I took some time for the skin retouching, as always ? A year ago I worked on a similar picture and it was interesting for me to see how much my retouching work has changed since. To see what I've learned, but also how my style has changed. At last I merged some textures into the background to give the picture a greater depth.In my camera bag
I usually have my camera (Canon EOS 5D Mark III) in my bag, two or three lenses (the 85mm, a 100mm and a 24 - 105mm), some batteries, a cloth for the lens, a replacement battery for the camera, a number of memory cards, the transmitter for the studio flash, handkerchiefs and a lip balm :-)Feedback
It's very important to master the basics of photography. And then for me the most important thing is the model. I not tired of repeating that :-) For these kinds of images you need ideas, meaning that you have to collect ideas, maybe at Pinterest or on some other photography sites. Also it helps, like in this case, to have a super creative model that can style herself so wonderfully. Of course a creative stylist can be very helpful too. And then practice, practice, practice. Practicing with Models, practice with light, practice with photo editing. And have fun, with the light, with the stylings. Have fun with it. For me photography is a passion :-)
