Behind The Lens

Location

We took the picture around 200m from my house

Time

It was taken on April 30th, late afternoon.

Lighting

Afternnoon, warm temperatures, bright sun light... I felt the conditions were perfect for this: bright daylight, sun behind the model, model and a flash for Anna in a black body (and the plastic cover). Dramatic, contrasty and everything pushed to the Limits - I have a tendency to Drama :-)

Equipment

just "my usual stuff" for pictures like this. Canon EOS 5DsR, Canon EF 16-35/4 IS USM (19mm), Elinchrom ELB 400, Elinchrom 70cm Deep Octa with grid. For this shot the ELB was set to HS: Tv 1/5000, Av 4.0, ISO 100

Inspiration

We wanted to to a Fashion shot in black&white, high contrasts, against the sun.

Editing

I added overall contrast, more contrast to everything exept the model and made the vignette more visible and changed it to black&white.

In my camera bag

Camera, 16-35/4 IS, 24/1.4, 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.2 and 70-200/2.8 - my bag is big and heavy...

Feedback

even a plastic cover has its Appeal. Try different Things. If you like a look in a studio shot take it outside and try it there. When using a wide angle lens place the model close to the middle and cut it in post to a "golden cut" (if wanted/needed).
