Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in my portrait studio which is located in my house.Time
We have had the shooting in the morning. My model was student at this time so he was very flexible in his timing.Lighting
To play with light and shadows i used a symmetrical set of two strip lights (180 by 30), 45 degree behind the model, and a profoto flash B2 in the front with very low power.Equipment
Here I worked with my Canon 5D MK IV with a 85/1.2 LII lens. Three Flashes, two Bowens with strip lights and one Profoto B2 with a small soft box.Inspiration
The Idee was born when I saw an advertisement about sports wear. The photographer used a similar lightning two took pics of a runner. My model is a good friend and an extremely good swimmer. Therefore, I asked him to take some unusual swimmer photos... It was planned to take the pics to show them to advertisement agencies.Editing
A little bit of Photoshop. Only reduced a bit the saturation and optimised contrast.In my camera bag
My 5D MK IV, some LII lenses (16-35. 28-70, 70-200, 85) and three ProFoto flashes (B1, B2).Feedback
If you have an idea about a special picture - do it! Don't wait. And if you have not the perfect equipment use what you habe in a creative way of ask somebody to lend it.
