Location
I took this photo in a studio in San Leandro CaliforniaTime
As we were in a studio using strobe lights, time of day does not matter. But this photo was taken about 11am.Lighting
One guided light to the left and one to the right. No overhead hair light that day.Equipment
Sony A7Riii and a 24-105mm lensInspiration
Poppyseed Dancer (the model) is a ballet artist. We collaborated to try to make interesting dance pictures.Editing
I used Luminar for general post processing and Photoshop for things that are harder to do in Luminar.In my camera bag
I pack my bag for the specific shoot. I do bring a few spares (lens, Pocket Wizard but generally not a second camera body (my second camera body is leant out right now)).Feedback
Talk and plan with the model. Get her/his input. Try things and then review them to see if improvements can be made. And try again. Some models are good at dance, others better at other things. Work with them.
