Behind The Lens

Location

We shot this photo in the middle of the Angeles National Forest, the wind whipping and sun shining.

Time

I honestly don't recall anymore. We wandered out in the world and just shot until we were tired. Lots of photos throughout the day

Lighting

It was all natural lighting, so the shot was more about observation of lighting and angles on the model than setting anything up!

Equipment

Just my trusty GH3 with the 25mm Summilux lens

Inspiration

The model. She's just so beautiful, it's hard not to take photos of her. We have shot quite a few times and each time we manage to make truly wonderful photographs

Editing

Yes It did. I almost always have at least one element of post in my photo work. This photo was wonderful, but needed an extra boost. I found another image from the set with some more wind-blown hair and did a composite to help fill out the flow and movement in her hair. Especially with the black and white it became about the movement of the lines!

In my camera bag

It all depends on the shoot. Aside from my camera, I typically have a Godox AD200 and a modifier. Depending on the shoot I carry the beauty dish, standard reflector or octabox. And gels...I love gels.

Feedback

It's all about the model. Find someone that inspires you. Create chemistry. Know your skills so that when you find the moment you can capture it.
