Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken outside a convention center parking lot in Boise Idaho.Time
This was shot in the late afternoon.Lighting
For this shot I used a single strobe light to freeze my model in place for a dreamy looking shot.Equipment
I used a Canon 60D with 24-105mm lens and an alienbee strobe light with a large octagonal diffusion on it.Inspiration
Something I’ve always been inspired by are the fashion spreads I see in vogue or W magazine where the model is flying or floating in the air looking like a goddess with their bodies in all sorts of different elongated beautiful poses.Editing
Yes, I did regular retouching such as color correction, fixing of blemishes, slight crop, dodging and burning, as well as adding in the moody sky in the background.In my camera bag
I normally have my camera (Canon 80D) as well as multiple batteries, a charger, small speedlite, 50mm lens, and lens wipes.Feedback
I would advise that someone trying to set up a shot like this use a second strobe behind the subject to create better separation of the model from the background to creat an image with more interesting depth of field.
