Actually this is better than with the crowned bird of prey. Much more mystic.

Behind The Lens
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 August 30, 2016 at 2 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, 1/100 sec. and f/4,0. And studio flash.Inspiration
In this case, the styling was the idea of my beautiful model and I only followed her creativity.Editing
This image is a fairytale image. Therefore, the skin had to be very beautiful and flawless. So I took some time for the skin retouching, as always ? Then I merged some textures into the background to give the picture a greater depth. Finally, I wanted to add something to her hand. I had the idea of something light and fleeting, and so the soap bubble appeared in my mind. It works quite well on the photo. In the end, I desaturated all the colors a bit and strengthened the white to give the image a detached look.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 :-)
