Thanks everyone. I agree: Women don't always need to smile.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken during a Jean Noir photo workshop. Andrea is Jean's beautiful girlfriend. She is a natural beauty. She wasn't one of the models organised for the day, but with her natural beauty, she just has to be photographed! She was wearing very little make up, if any?

Time

It was a very hot day and this photo was taken just after midday. Andrea was smoking outside in the shade of the building during a break and I noticed the wonderful light falling on her. She was an extremely easy person to photograph.

Lighting

Natural light in the shade of a building.

Equipment

Fujifilm X-T1, 55-200mm Fuji lens, 95mm, ISO 800, 1/1000s, f4, no flash, hand held. Converted to monochrome.

Inspiration

We were shooting 3 models, but Andrea, who was not one of the organised models, stood out for me with her exceptional, natural beauty. I couldn't resist photographing her. I was so happy when she said YES!

Editing

Yes, converted to monochrome with Nik software.

In my camera bag

Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujifilm X-T10. Fuji lenses: 18-55mm, 10-24mm, 55-200mm. A flash, a few filters. A tripod. Extra memory cards and batteries.

Feedback

Look around while you're at a shoot. Try to look past the obvious. Try to see something that no one else sees - the "unobvious"!
