Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in a home studio at a photo session arranged by a professional photographer.Time
The photo was taken in the afternoon to take advantage of the light coming in through the large windows behind the model.Lighting
We used the light from the large windows to light her up from the back. And a fill light behind camera left to bring out the facial features. Over exposing the background allowed me to highlight the face exactly as I wanted.Equipment
This was shot hand-held with a Pentax 645Z medium format cameraInspiration
A great model with the ability to anticipate the photographer’s requests helped.Editing
I increased the highlights for the background and saturated the reds to bring out the lips. General softening of the skinIn my camera bag
2-3 spare batteries, a second camera body with lens and batteries. Assortment of SD and microSD cards. Prime lenses 35mm and 55mm.Feedback
Communication is crucial. The model isn’t a mind reader. The good ones will anticipate your request based on their experience but if you have something specific you are going for, come with an example of the concept to show her so that there is absolute synergy.
