A very appropriate title for this photo! Your focus on the eyes and the pose definitely draws one to this photo. Excellent capture!

Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken at a Photography workshop I took part in in Birmingham-

Time

This was taken early on into the shoot

Lighting

This was all natural light - the main source was through a window and to counter act shadows under the models eyes( no girl likes to have black bags under her eyes ) I used a gold reflector . I positioned the model facing the main light (window ) and used the reflector to fill in.

Equipment

This was shot with my trusty Nikon D750 and a Sigma art lens ( what a sharp combination these make)and a gold reflector no other equipment was used

Inspiration

I take part in many workshops and shoots for art nude or semi art nude - i wanted this composition to use as a profile picture for an advert

Editing

I try to do very little touching up of my images - this was processed in Photoshop and i used portraiture to soften the skin

In my camera bag

I have always got my Nikon and a variety of lenses 50mm sigma art lens, 24-105 sigma art lens , Nikon 85mm 1.4 prime ,Nikon 105 macro and a Nikon flash ( just in case ) spare batteries and SD cards

Feedback

Never try to fit a pose to a model - get to know her first and use natural poses rather than forced. Atmosphere is the key to how your image will be received.
