Behind The Lens

Location

This was in a studio I often use in Draper. O2O studio. Great place, love them!

Time

In a studio, time of day is irrelevant.

Lighting

used a GIANT soft light for those killer soft shadows. High pointed down, with the subject 10 feet off the BG so it would go black.

Equipment

Pretty sure this would have been shot on a D-810. Generally I do not shoot these on a tripod. lens looks like the 24-70, but I wouldnt swear to it. Flash would have been Alien Bees. This image probably just one up and camera left, with a b-board cam right.

Inspiration

I was in the middle of this shoot, and the pose just popped into my mind. I'll try anything, and a ,ot do not turn out. This did.

Editing

Very little post. Just the standard. I may have needed to crush the blacks some, but probably not much.

In my camera bag

This day, I had a full run of lenses and my D-810. I would have had a backup camera, but I did not need to go to it. This was probably shot teathered....

Feedback

Be open to new ideas, and try a whole lot of things to get one good image.
