Behind The Lens
Location
At the old Studio 212 in Metuchen, NJ. (Now, sadly defunct; the building owner evicted all the tenants, tore the building down, and replaced it with condos...)Time
Probably mid-to-late afternoon.Lighting
I'd shot some early exposures of this setup using on-camera fill flash, then decided to use the natural lighting coming through the window behind the model.Equipment
Probably a Canon 1D Mk II (handheld), Canon 24-70mm L-class f/2.8 zoom.Inspiration
The model, and her choice of outfit (or lack thereof...!).Editing
No. (I was still a few years away from including a skin-smoothing plugin as part of my workflow...)In my camera bag
Canon DSLR body (these days, a 6D), two Canon L-class zooms (24-70mm and 70-200mm, both with a maximum aperture of f/2.8), Canon speedlight flash (currently an EX 580 II). If I want to travel light, I'll substitute a Tamron 17-200mm f/4.5-5.6 zoom. I also occasionall use 50mm and 85mm primes (both f/1.8).Feedback
I *looooove* backlight, both natural and artificial. Let the light behind the model blast out the background as much as possible, to as to force attention to the foreground.
