Behind The Lens
Location
In a local studio call 'The Loft', in Colchester, UK. They offered different textures, including brick, natural light and coloured backdrops.Time
This image was taken at 9pm, in January, in a warm studio environment amongst a group of 12-15 other like minded photographers.Lighting
I wanted a subtle window light effect but using strobes, with a little fall off.Equipment
Canon 6D, 85mm 1.8 lens. Godox 600w strobe with a large octabox.Inspiration
The model already looks like an old sailor and he works in the docks, so I thought why not have him look as if he is looking out to sea, thinking about his next destination.Editing
Simple lightroom editing. No photoshop. I'm sure the lighting/editing post production could be improved.In my camera bag
Always in my bag is an 85m 1.8 for portraits. It gives me the perfect reach that I need for my portraiture work. 50mm prime for anything that is needed a little wider. Simple Yongnuo 2 flash setup with controller for OCF.Feedback
You need a good quality, patient model, that's willing to collaborate with you in getting the images you both want.
