Behind The Lens
Location
Image was shot in my studio in Smithers BC, Canada!Time
The photo was taken in the early afternoon and some natural sunlight was incorporated in the shot.Lighting
Three strobes were used in this set-up, two on each side of the model and one frontal fill flash!Equipment
Equipment was a Sony A 900 with Minolta 28-85 AF lense, Cybersync flash control with two Multiblitz strobes in addition to one White Lightening 1500. Two softboxes and Silver Umbrella were used for light modification. The model was shot on a white canvas backdrop.Inspiration
The model is very talented and this was the second shoot with her in my studio. Good art requires vision and inspiration from the photographer but also from the model! I shot more than 600 photographs during this session to try many variations of light set-ups and outfits. The secret to unique results is to make your model comfortable in the studio environment and compose and light without getting hung up on histograms and technicalities, just generate images that you and your model love!Editing
I work with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CS 5 since 2005 and love the digital possibilities these programs offer! I would say there is barely anything that cannot be achieved utilizing these two programs. Plug-ins like OnOne are also great and they can speed up manipulation for the less versed person but there is nothing that cannot also be achieved in Photoshop!In my camera bag
Sony A 900, Minolta & Sigma lenses 28-85 AF, 70-210 AF, 100-400 AF, Multiblitz 200 Strobe-system with CyberSync, Compact Flash cards, Sekonic lightmeter, Metz 45 CT 4/5.Feedback
Have the utmost respect for your model and her personal space. Trust between model and photographer is an essential if not the most important part of boudoir photography. It is always nice to shoot with people that know you already, so repeated sessions get better just due to the established trust and relationship between photographer and model, plus the model had time to come up with additional ideas and plan for the shoot with additional outfits and props. Experiment with the lighting and camera settings to diversify the results and stick with outcomes that you and your models like, expand on that line and you will develop your own style! P.S.: Do not forget to have a model release form signed by your model before you publish or post any shots of recognizable people!
