Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo several years ago when I began work on my nude portrait project. More photos from this project here: https://photosbymanji.viewbug.com/nude-portraits I did a photo shoot with Heather and her boyfriend Anthony who weighs about 300 lbs. I got some amazing photos of them as a couple and also individual portraits.Time
This was taken in the morning. Bathroom window faced west.Lighting
The bathroom had excellent natural light. Also I could stand in the hall so my lens wouldn't get fogged. A closer crop of the same image: https://www.viewbug.com/photo/75208017Equipment
Sony A77 DSLR. I typically shoot with a 28-250 zoom. No tripod. No flash. I try to use available light, but for indoor shoots I use a 300 watt umbrella.Inspiration
As I mentioned this was a 2 hour nude couples shoot with Heather and her boyfriend. Resulted in several amazing photos. Here are two of them: https://www.viewbug.com/photo/76817030 https://www.viewbug.com/photo/76816931Editing
I use Aperture. The usual post processing. Don't remember the specifics.In my camera bag
No bag. Just camera with zoom and spare battery in my pocket.Feedback
Find a bathroom shower with good natural lighting. Not that common. I found this couple by advertising on Craig's List under "Talent Gigs". I was lucky to find such an unusual photogenic couple. By the way neither had any modeling experience...which was fine. My goal is to make nude portraits of people in normal, natural poses.
