This photo was taken at the College of Southern Nevada Photo Studio!Time
Honestly, it was like mid afternoon because I was in a controlled lighting setup.Lighting
This is a clamshell set up using two giant soft boxes to light her face and than two back lights to control the gel colors against the seamless, there were also two giant flags on the side of her to stop any color bleed from the gels onto her body ! :)Equipment
I shot this with a cannon 7D which is one of my favorite cameras to shoot with and their 24-105 lens. The strobes I used were by profoto but I can't remember the model number.Inspiration
This was one image out of my six image beauty series which celebrates the ethereal nature and beauty of women collectively!Editing
Yes, I believe that my base post production began with color correcting the image and warming up the yellow color in the background in camera raw. After that, I did a technique using my unsharp mask filter to diminish the darkness of heavy pores and than began my initial frequency seperation. I later dodged and burned and followed up with multiple texture layers to amplify the skin texture and make it look completely natural yet cohesive.In my camera bag
I normally have tape, a lot of makeup, my camera, bobby pins, hair brushes, and a macro and 70- 200mm lensFeedback
Make sure that your light setup displays a nice flat light to enhance the portrait and than learn a couple of the vital retouching techniques for portrait retouching to enhance your work ! ????
