This is nan amazing photograph. My fist time try o see You and I get to see almost two of You!.! I like what Yor lips, eyebrow, lashes and Facebook like.. Judging only from Your icon image with the Kate HZgtBoard. Iwas expecting a call 12 or so year-old pre-pubescent girl. Instead, I was mesmerized y an exquisite woman stri ot F and into a pane of glass given beauty by reflecting her. Truthfully, it , Like You is magnificent. My kudos to Nadine for selecting a amorous Palette. I await the 29th, and hopefully, more than one keeps of Your radiance. Love The photo A Lot. Thank You!

Behind The Lens

Location

This picture is taken in my living room in germany at the main window.

Time

I think the time was just after noon. While the sun was shining directly on the window behind clouds

Lighting

For this image, it is important to stand as close to the window as possible, so that the light from outside can be soft charming around the face. The reflection is reinforced by the proximity to the window.

Equipment

In this case, it was just the natural light. However, it is recommended to use a reflector (it is also a white shirt) on the other side (facing away from the window) to not get too much shade.

Inspiration

While i was waiting for our ordered food, i saw the nice raindrops outside and asked the model to get to the windows. Then i saw these nice reflections and need to shoot them.

Editing

In post i use a filter from google nik filter collection to enhance the reflextion on the window, but when i try to copy this picture with other models i only use 2 raw convertions, one only for reflection to enhance more details.

In my camera bag

Currently I´m a Nikon and Sigma User but i´m flirting often with the idea to switch to sony. I use my Nikon D810 and Sigma 1.4 lenses like 85mm,50mm,35mm 135mm and maybe soon the 105mm But this picture can be shoot with a 50 or 85 easily.

Feedback

Search for a window where the sun is shining through. Put the model as close as possible to the window. Go maybe 3m away from the model and also close to the window and find an ankle that show´s you the best reflection. Play with the mood (close and open eyes) put hands into to picture, close and more far away from model and play with the distance from the face to the window. Then use two different raw convertions. One for the picture and one only to enhance details.
