Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at my studio nof8 Studio In Norwich. I am a self taught photographer who has worked around the world as a portrait photographer and am now a full time commercial photographer.

Time

The image was taken in the afternoon. I had just used Gabi as a model for one of my tuition sessions with a student and decided to grab some shots with her myself.

Lighting

Lighting was fairly standard, single beauty dish with a reflector to fill in the shadows.

Equipment

EOS 6D with a Tamron 24-70mm Lens. Bowens 500 light with a 450mm Beauty dish

Inspiration

Gabi is Stunning. She has a figure that puts some of the worlds best models to shame and something in her mannerisms and face reminds me of Cara, This image was inspired by Gabi herself and is a sort of Homage to Cara.

Editing

Simple Skin smoothing using Frequency Separation.

In my camera bag

My bag is usually pretty light. I used to carry everything from batteries to filters and every lens I owned. These days I carry a bare minimum and just make sure my cleaning, maintenance and testing is done properly so that I don't need to carry unnecessary weight.

Feedback

Live in the moment, don't over plan. Be your own worst critic and your own biggest fan. Love what you do and put your heart into every image. Keep moving and keep your book current. Dont be afraid to wipe your book and start again when you feel your old work no longer represents your best.
