Location
I took this photo in the cold winter. The photo shows my sister. I wanted to take pictures of Christmas magic.Time
This series of photographs was taken at sunset. We had to shoot very quickly. Hands frozen, sister froze too. All the shooting took place less than an hour.Lighting
Before dusk remained fifteen minutes. The sun shone at an angle of classic 45/45. Winter sun through the pine branches gives a soft gray light. What allowed to convey a special moment.Equipment
This was shot on a Canon 6D, wis an 50mm f/1.4 lens.Inspiration
Before Christmas was a couple of days. This is an exciting time. In those days you want to be close to family. This mood has inspired us. I wanted to show the cold Russian winter, the beautiful young girl, the anticipation of the holiday.Editing
I used a little correction. I corrected the white balance (he was too warm by sunset) and adjust minor damage to the skin with a brush. At the final stage, I used curves to correct black and white pattern.In my camera bag
I have always with you: - My camera canon 6d - 24-105mm f / 1.4 Lens - 50mm f / 1.4 Lens - Lightweight Tripod - Round reflector - An external flash - A small softboxFeedback
To make such a shot you need to take into account several factors. We must get along well with the model. Laughter, fun, conversation - to help make the atmosphere warmer. It should be an inspiration! Good film, festive music, cozy home - I was inspired by it. Do not be afraid of shooting conditions. Cold weather, busy road, the lack of time - may play into the hands! Do not be lazy and do not worry! We need to take the camera and shoot!!!
