An old photo, a new edit.

(Taken January 2014)

Valentine's shoot with My Flower Room UK, makeup by Sisters of Face, modelling by Diana Bulee

Behind The Lens

Location

The shoot took place by the river Thames in Oxford. This photo was actually taken in a litter-ridden patch of grass behind some boat houses!

Time

This photo was taken at around 16:30 on the 17th August.

Lighting

I love the warmth of summer evening sunlight, it boasts a beautiful and golden glow. I enhanced the natural light with a gold reflector to reduce harsh shadows.

Equipment

This was shot this with my Canon 6D and a 50mm f/1.8 lens. The only other equipment used was a reflector.

Inspiration

It was a scorching hot day and Becky (the model) and I spoke of how it felt as if we were somewhere in the Mediterranean! My mind took me away to a hotter climate and I wanted to capture the idea. When I spotted a patch of long grass behind the boat houses, I thought it would be perfect our thoughts were brought to life.

Editing

I don't like to over edit my fashion and portraiture work as I personally think it takes away from the natural beauty. I lightly retouched the image to enhance the warmth and add more depth. I like to play around with the colours to see how I can change the feel of the photo too.

In my camera bag

I tend to pack quite lightly on a typical fashion shoot so I can cover a large area and get a wider variation of backgrounds.I always pack my Canon 6D as it's water and shock resistant. My Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens is always a go to as it takes flattering portraits and performs well in poorer lighting situations. It is also very small and lightweight, so it pretty much lives on my 6D body! I also often take a Caonon 20mm f/2.8 lens as it's great for landscapes and sunsets. I always grab a reflector before I leave for location shoots to counteract harsh shadows.

Feedback

Always explore when at a new location because so many of the best photos are taken in unusual and unexpected places.
