Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken during a photo shoot with Terez in a rented apartment (AirBnB) in Copenhagen in January. We were about to wrap up the shoot as we decided to take a few natural light photos by the window of the apartment, which expanded into quite a few.

Time

It was just before noon, so when the outside light was brightest although it was an overcast day, so a lot of soft light streaming in the window.

Lighting

As said it was natural soft light coming in thee window, not too bright but bright enough to shoot at wide open aperture and get a nice shallow depth of field.

Equipment

For this shoot just my Canon 7DmkII and a Sigma 35mm f1.4 (Art) lens.

Inspiration

The nice soft daylight coming in through the window and the relatively dark apartment for some mood shots.

Editing

Developed in RawTherapee and edited in GIMP to make it even more moody and general retouching of skin blemishes and extra contrasts to emphasize the hair and body features.

In my camera bag

Camera (7DmkII), backup camera (70D), 2x600EX-RT speedlites, 1x430EX-RT speedlite, 1xlightstands, 2xlightstands/tripods, extra batteries, Rogue flashbender portrait kit, shoot through umbrella.

Feedback

Have an appointment with a nice, good-looking model and treat her nicely and professionally and you'll very often get a very relaxed and corroborative model, that shows in the photos.
