Location
This photo was taken very close to my house. It is an area of ??forest near a river, one of the best preserved Atlantic shore forests.Time
The photo was taken in the afternoon. While the sun is very powerful I usually start in shady areas, with the help of flash. This photo is from 17/0/2017 at 17:01Me gustabaLighting
I wanted to take advantage of the sunlight entering between the leaves at the bottom, so I exposed for that light, with which the girl was very dark. To solve this, I used a profoto B2 flash with a 2 "octaEquipment
It was taken with a NIKON D4 + Nikon AF-S 70-200mm F / 2.8 G ED VRII, 200mm to compress the background, plus a Proboto B2 flash with a 2 "octaInspiration
My work for communion photography is based on the naturalness of my children. In this case, the girl was very "little princess", and with the backlight and its colors, it seemed to me a magical image, like a fairy in the forest.Editing

For this type of session, I usually carry my NIKON D4 with the Nikkor AF-S 70-200mm F / 2.8 G ED VRII soldered to it. Currently I have changed my profoto B2 for a Profoto B1x, with various modifiersFeedback
The magic of this photo is in the place, the colors of the background and the sunlight, and a good additional use of artificial light as a filler. The rest is about working with the girl to get her personality out.
