Behind The Lens
Location
This is a fantastic or rather typical example of an indoor/natural light /available light photography.Time
This image was taken late morning/noon. For an indoor portrait, I would not care too much what time the image was taken. My focus will be that there is soft light coming through the window.Lighting
My principle can be sum up below by the words of the great Leonardo da Vinci. “A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.”? Leonardo da Vinci. With the above in mind, I want to make sure the am exposing correctly to ensure that I have the right amount of light in specific area of the image as needed .Equipment
EXIF extract below. Canon EOS 5D Mark III Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USMInspiration
My inspiration is the purity of the image (the subject)Editing
I start my post-production from Adobe Lightroom and end up in Adobe Photoshop. Most time I also return to Lightroom to use my LR preset.In my camera bag
I don’t have so much in my camera bag. However, I always follow a basic step process to prepare for any photo. A day before, I check I have my batteries fully charged. I seem to have spares for everything (Batteries, Memory stick, Lenses (24-70 f.28, 85mm f1.2, 100 mm f.12 and 70-200 f2.8) I have 1 Lovely Canon 5D MK III in my bag. People tell me it is not good to have just one camera, but I guess it is just enough. I usually make a decision on what lens to use before the shoot.Feedback
Natural Light Photography is amazing and simple STEPs 1. Have your subject by a rather large window with soft light 2. Use a reflector to fill the subject from an opposite or 45 degrees to subject 3. Expose correctly.
