Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a field of sunflowers in the countryside near my house the summer of a couple of years ago.

Time

It was sunset, the golden hour, the best time to take these types of photographs.

Lighting

I shot with completely natural light, today I would probably take the same photo with a flash and a softbox to get better illumination of the model's face, but I remember that that evening I didn't use anything apart from natural light.

Equipment

I took this photo with my old Sony A7ii and a Samyang 85mm f1.4 lens, a cheap manual portrait lens which isn't bad at all and offers interesting bokeh

Inspiration

I wanted to take some purely summer portraits with a model and sunflowers and when I saw this field near my house I clearly couldn't resist. I also love backlit portraits, I think they give a special light to the contours of the model.

Editing

I always do a bit of post production on my shots, to improve the colours, contrasts, vignetting, I try to make everything more contrasted and make the light fall exactly as I want, without ever distorting the initial shot, I don't like post production that changes the shot too much, a photo must already be valid in the camera otherwise it's not worth wasting time on.

In my camera bag

Normally I have the camera and a lens, depending on what I want to shoot. Wide angle for landscapes, a fixed and fast lens for portraits. I don't like bags that are too heavy and too much equipment that makes me lose the purpose of the session.

Feedback

To take similar photos I advise you to find a model with an expressive face, dress her simply with a dominant color that suits her and take her to a field where there are interesting subjects. As far as I'm concerned, in summer it's nice to photograph sunflowers, poppies, lavender...
