Location
This photo was taken in Malta, in a park during sunset.Time
It was a sunset shoot so in the evening sometime.Lighting
I wanted that golden orange sunset look to come through in the background, and also light the model with some strobes to balance out the lightsEquipment
Equipment used on this picture is a Canon 7dMII, Sigma 70-200 f2.8 IS, and 2 canon 430 ex strobes with softboxes, one in front and one in the back.Inspiration
I do a lot of sunset/sunrise portraits, and this is a favourite spot with some trees and also the ocean close byEditing
Process on this photo is the usual color correct, skin, shadows etc. I also added purple to the shadows and orange to the highlights to enhance the sunset look. Also added a motion blur to the bottom to add to the motion of the modelIn my camera bag
Im my bag I usually have Canon 7dMII, Sigma 70-200 f2.8 IS, canon 50mm f1,4, canon 30mm 1,4, sigma 17-50mm f2.8. On a shoot I will also bring 2-3 flashes and lighmodifiers and lots of extra batteries.Feedback
To capture a picture like this with lots of light coming from behind the model you will need something to bring more light to the model, a relector or speedlights. Set the camera so the background looks properly exposed and then adapt lights for the model until both look good.
