Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken in a old wooden house located at the Schaffhauser Randen (Switzerland). The house is staying there all alone in the woods and it still looks exactly the same like 20 years ago when I was spending easter weekends there with my grandparents.

Time

It was in the afternoon because the light at this time is best for an available light shot at the window in this specific house Normally I prefer early morning or the goldenhour, but at this place the sun is to deep to give enough light

Lighting

I work with available light whenever possible. The only extra I used here was a big reflector (white side) to bring some softer light to Victorias face

Equipment

Canon Eos Mark III with the canon 100mm F2.8 macro lense 1/320 IS0 320 F3.2

Inspiration

I spent many happy hours in this house during my childhood and I always wanted to shoot there. Victoria is one of my favourite models and we work together at least once a year. I knew that I wanted to shoot this with her because her natural beauty matches this old and wooden house perfect I wanted a dreamy, relaxed, erotic, thinkfull and emotional shoot. And I think we made this happen if you take a look at the whole serie

Editing

I always do some post processing with photoshop. Skin cleaning, dodge and burn, colour corrections and sharpening are some steps I use at nearly each of my pictures

In my camera bag

Canon EOS Mark III, Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lense, Canon 50mm 1.4 and Sigma Art 24mm Reflector

Feedback

To set up a location like this its pretty easy. You only need an old wooden windoe or old wooden house and natural light. More important is to catch a feeling you like to create that matches your own inspiration
