Location
The photo was taken in forest of Zofingen, Switzerland.Time
We made this photo on 2017 March the 12th at about 12:00.Lighting
The only source of light was the natural light. It was a warm and sunny day. Simply a beautiful spring day. The light in the woods was great. Ideal for pictures of this kind :-)Equipment
For this shot I used my Canon EOS 5D Mk III in combination with the underestimated Canon 85mm f1.8 USM Lens.Inspiration
At this day my model had the wish to take some indoor and outdoor Portraits. So let's go.Editing
Always more or less! In this case less, because the idea is here the supporting part. My workflow: After selecting the photos to edit, I choose the color look for each set, then I correct, if necessary, the light of the picture. Then sometimes I make a beauty retouch and the picture is cropped if necessary and that's it. Here I made a Autumn style color grading and emphasized the smoke of a cigarette she smoked.In my camera bag
For my portrait shootings I usually use my full format DSLR with a set of (relatively) fast primes: A 50mm, a 85mm or 90mm macro, the magnificent Sigma 24-35mm f2.0 Art Zoom for the slightly wider angles and the 70-200mm.Feedback
With a good idea and a relaxed model in a good mood you have nearly everything you need. Then choose your shooting location and watch the light during the shoot. A camera with manual control (but don't forget: the best camera is the one you have with you) and then go for it. And yes, don't forget to do some the post-processing ;-)
