Location
The photo was taken in my home, in Italy.Time
Was taken the photo in a boring afternoon, with a strong storm on my town.Lighting
I used a single light source, a medium sized softbox in a completely dark room.Equipment
Nikon D800 with 24/70 nikkor, tripod Manfrotto, one soft box and self-timerInspiration
I do not like to appear in photography, I am more comfortable behind the camera, but with this foam escamotage that somehow hides me has been easier. The inspiration was born by looking at portraits painted with oil with subjects covered with foam or colored paints. I do not remember the name of the artist, but I think it happened to you to see him.Editing
Usually edit my photos with photoshop and Nik Colletion softwareIn my camera bag
My nikon D800, lens 24/70 and 70/300Feedback
It is not a photo of high technical difficulty and the required equipment is not particular, but it is important to set an open diaphragm (f 2.4/6.3) to create the blur effect on the edges of the face. The sharpness of the eyes is essential
