Location
Took this photo in my home studio.Time
Probably late in the afternoon. This portrait was part of a series of portraits from a test shoot with Alexandria.Lighting
Nothing crazy. I just used a beauty dish with a Paul C Buff Digibee light positioned in front of her face, slightly positioned and angled above her head.Equipment
I used a Nikon D810 and my 50mm F/1.4 lensInspiration
My subject. Her face, her freckles and her red hair really inspired me to zoom in and highlight that in this photograph.Editing
Simple adjustment of brightness and contrast. That's pretty much it.In my camera bag
I have a pretty minimalist bare-essentials only bag. Camera, batteries, memory cards, a roll of tape, chargers, memory card reader, an extra lens, and a pack of pain reliever.Feedback
Don't overthink it. Just shoot. Keep shooting and if it satisfies you, and if it feels good, that's your shot!
