Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at night on the streets of Dubai with no flash, I used only available light.

Time

If I recall, this was around 7-8pm

Lighting

Yeah, no flash, I used only available light, which in this instance came from a huge carpet/rug store window.

Equipment

No tripod, handheld and Nikon D810 and 85mm f/1.4 lens Camera settings; ISO 1600 f/1.4 @ 1/250s

Inspiration

When you have an amazing cover model and time to walk around Dubai at night, why not!

Editing

Processed Black and White Raw in Adobe ACR and then in Photoshop using only Dodge and Burn.

In my camera bag

Nowadays I have my Hasselblad H6d-50c medium format camera and my Sony A7rii, with some trusty and heavy lenses.

Feedback

Make sure you nail the focus at this wide open f/1.4 aperture
