Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo when I was living in Central California, where I grew up.Time
I prefer to shoot in the morning. I even named my business Early Morning Light Studio. Plus I was shooting in a downtown area and photographing earlier in the day means less people will be around.Lighting
I like to shoot in the shadow of trees, buildings, etc. You get a nice diffused light. You have the sky above but not the harsh direct light.Equipment
I took this a number of years ago but I was probably shooting with a Fuji S3 Pro with a Nikon lens.Inspiration
I was shooting some product photography for a client and I wanted to show off the handcrafted ring. I thought the beauty and coloring of the model would compliment the ring.Editing
I normally don't do any editing that I wouldn't be able to do in a traditional dark room. I believe I may have brought the levels up just a bit and added a little contrast.In my camera bag
Currently I shoot with a Nikon D610 and I always have my Nikon 28-300mm lens. It's almost all purpose. I also keep a Nikon Micro 105mm lens for detailed product shots.Feedback
Shoot in the shadow of a building w/a nice portrait lens, crop in tight.
