Location
The photo was taken in a little and very nice wood in Tribano, city of Padua (Italy).Time
I love so much this photo! I took it in the afternoon, about 02.00 pm. The model is my best friend. She loves very much to be photographed! I said her to position itself in front of me pretending to sleep with origami blue butterflies around.Lighting
I took this picture in the afternoon when the light was strong:I wanted a very bright image.Equipment
I used only my lovely Canon 1100D with my 50mm 1.8 lens.Inspiration
This picture belongs to a personal project called "Origami". I took simple portraits in a natural background, but with the peculiarity that every person had in its body (Head, shoulders, wrist, face) Origami stuck. The position of models depended on Origami.UEditing
Usually portrait photography requires a lot of processing (Lightroom + Photoshop). In this case, I had to develope the raw to correct the white balance, lights and colors in Lightroom. All this to create the right atmosphere. Then, I used Photoshop to delete skin defects and disturbing elements of bacground.In my camera bag
Then first thing i always pack is my Canon 50 mm 1.8 prime. I love this lens because I can create good bokeh. I then pack a Canon 1100D body, my first reflex and my partner of photography adventures! The third, but no less important lens is my 18/55 mm. I think that You can take wonderful pictures even with a simple lens.Feedback
Take pictures in wood isn't simple for the light. The shadow of the leaves can be a problem but also a way to create something interesting. Portrait photography is a way to communicate something with people' gestures. Be prepared for the diversity of model's positions, colors and situations.
