Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in in Munich.

Time

It is a studio photo, so the time of day is not really relevant. I took it in July 30, 2016 at 6pm.

Lighting

This time I tried lightning with only one light former like a soft box or beauty dish. In this case, I had a soft box that created a very soft and flattering and beautiful light.

Equipment

This was a shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III with a 24-105mm lens, 1/100 sec. and f/4,0, a studio flash and a ventilator.

Inspiration

I love photos with flying hair and I wanted to try that for a long time. Laura, the model has beautiful hair. It was a great opportunity and we many wonderful pictures came from that session.

Editing

As always I have taken a lot of time for the skin retouching. I wanted the skin to be very soft and romantic. Close to a beauty. Then I have amplified the nice shine in her hair a little so that it stands out more. Then I merged textures into the pictures and reinforced the warm brown tone in the picture.

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 lightning. And then for me the most important thing is the model. I not tired of repeating that :-) 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 :-)
