Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my studio, which I share with a friend. The shoot was in December, but the leaves were collected weeks earlier. As it was only the model and me in the studio, the camera was on fixed focus and I triggered it remotely, while tossing the leaves.

Time

As the shoot was in the studio, the weather and the light outside was irrelevant. It's a convenience I really value, you're not pressed for time.

Lighting

We used three flashes; two hard rim-lights and one soft lightsource camera-left.

Equipment

My preferred camera in the studio is a Nikon D800, here with a Tamron 70-200 mm on a sturdy tripod. I had to use a longer lens, as the low ceiling has some annoying reflectors, which can really kill... I also used a remote radio trigger and a radio flash trigger. The studio flashes were probably a mix of Jinbei HD600v and Godox QT600.

Inspiration

The shot is part of a series, "dressed in...", where clothing is replaced with water, sand, smoke, leaves, etc.

Editing

The picture is the result of numerous shots. For the effect, the model held the pose while leaves were tossed at her again and again. A selection of the shots was layered and masked in Photoshop in order to obtain the requested result.

In my camera bag

For the studio, I pack a Nikon D800. Nikon 85 mm, Tamron 24-70 and Tamron 70-200 mm. Further various triggers, batteries and model releases. I leave a sturdy tripod in the studio.

Feedback

Be very specific when describing the project to the model, it is after all not an everyday shoot for her (or him). Be clear about clothing (or lack thereof), the material used and possible hazards. Make it fun and plan enough brakes for the model to relax. It can be very demanding to hold an uncomfortable pose over long time and being bombarded with leaves... The post production for this kind of shoot takes a lot of time. Don't get frustrated.
