Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at work during a smoking break and is of one of my coworkers.Time
Taken during the afternoon during business hours while smoking and enjoying some conversation about photography, portraiture, lenses and bokeh, which led me to a quick demonstration that became this image.Lighting
Taken with natural light on a light overcast day with a relatively open aperture of f4.Equipment
Handheld 7DmkII, Canon 70-200mm f2.8L lens.Inspiration
A photo talk about how longer focal length compresses the background and generates more background blur, which led to a practical demonstration of which this photo was the best of the examples shot.Editing
Not much converted to black and white a few curve adjustments to increase contrasts and not much else.In my camera bag
Canon 7DmkII, Canon 70-200mm f2.8L, Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art, Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro, set of extension tubes, travel tripod, Canon 430EX-III-RT flash, Canon ST-E3-RT radio trigger, and a few polarizing filters.Feedback
Unless you have relatively even light have your model face the light in such a way that no unflattering shadows falls across the face.
