Location
This photo was taken in a studioTime
Taken in the morning when everyone was fresh, chirpy and enthusiastic about the shootLighting
We were experimenting with different lighting techniques and decided to do a split lighting setup with blue and red gels in front of the lights on each side of the model. A key light above and in feont of her and a strip light on the floor in front to fill in the details.Equipment
I used a medium format camera, the Pentax 645Z, to capture the fine details. The camera is very easy on skin tones and very little post processing is required.Inspiration
I always wanted to achieve the look seen in magazines where the model is lit with different color gels which highlight her features. This time i got the opputunity to capture what i wanted.Editing
General brightening of the image, tweaks to the black point and clarity.In my camera bag
My Pentax 645Z with three lenses, 55mm f/2.8, 80-160mm f/4.5 and a Pentacon 6 Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 180mm f/2.8, a Pentax 540GZ flash with external battery pack, 4-5 64GB SD cards, 2-3 batteries, a cleaning cloth and blower.Feedback
Experiment extensively. The next photo can always be better than the latest one. Work with like minded photographers and learn, learn, learn.
