Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in one of my friend studio, we decorate the studio and make it looks like inside a barn house.

Time

It was taken in the evening, april 1 2016. This pic actually a test shot result for my lighting setup test.

Lighting

I Use 3 flashes, 1 canon flash and 2 cheap flashes from china( I forgot the name). It was bare flashes without softbox. 1 flash from behind the chicken cage, 2 flashes from the top front from each sides.

Equipment

Canon 5d mark III Canon 70-200mm F2.8 usm II

Inspiration

This is actually a test shot for my lighting setup and my friend have a clothes for a puppet master in his house. Fortunately we have a perfect model for the concept with a really strong face character.yes

Editing

Yes, only a little bit color correction, contrast and crop

In my camera bag

My favourite 70 200mm lens, a great lens for portrait and 16 35 mm canon lens in case I'm going to take some landscape pictures. 3 canon flashes ,2 660 ex rt II and one canon 660 ex rt flash. And of course my canon 5d mark III
