Behind The Lens

Location

Studio 912 on Seattle's waterfront.

Time

A Saturday afternoon

Lighting

A one light portrait with a Photek 46" Softlighter at 45 x 45 degrees, 1/60 sec.@ F5.6 ISO 400.

Equipment

Nikon D7000, SB600 strobe, Nikkor 105mm DC.

Inspiration

It was actually an Idea floated by a makeup artist, Shiree Collier. When she told me she had a crimper and a model with a lot of hair - I was all in.

Editing

Yes - standard processing, levels, curves, skin retouch.

In my camera bag

I have many. Nikon, Sony, and Sigma. I am partial to the older D series Nikon lenses. Yes, they are noisy and sometimes slow, but the results are worth it. But I have to say, the new Sigma Art series lenses impress me, I own a couple of those now.

Feedback

I caught lightning in a bottle on this one. It was meant to be a test shot, Roxie, (the model) was preoccupied with something else and I caught her in a natural pose. There wasn't a single shot after this one worth looking at. Today, I start every session the same way - "Relax, just taking a couple of test shots here." You'd be surprised how many good ones you get!
