Behind The Lens

Location

The location was Guyscliffe, Warwick. The steely home has parts that are medieval with the latest built in Neo gothic Victorian. The majority of the house was made derelict in a fire. It is owned by the Masonic Lodge and the chapel contains masonic temples.

Time

This was taken mid-afternoon.

Lighting

The image is predominantly natural light on a cloudy day. I did use a speed light on a lighting stand to add a touch of fill from the front.

Equipment

Camera was Olympus OM-D EM-1 mark I with Olympus 12-40 f2.8 and Yongnuo speedlight.

Inspiration

The architectural feature is one of a row of windows/alcoves and I wanted to get a statuesque type image which the model is very skilled at portraying.

Editing

The image was processed in Lightroom and I used a black and white preset.

In my camera bag

Along with 2 Olympus bodies, I carry the Olympus 12-40, Olympus 25 1.2 and Olympus 45 1.8

Feedback

When visiting a new location, take time to scout around and find inspirational nooks and crannies. I have returned several times to the location always finding new places but also revisiting previously shot places with different models/costumes.
