Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the summer of 2019 at a friend's house in the National Capital Region of Canada.

Time

This was a Saturday mid-afternoon in the summer with hardly any clouds and a lot of blue sky, so the light was fierce.

Lighting

This was a lovely weekend afternoon, it was warm and mid-afternoon. We had decided to do other pics indoors and this was one of the ones outside that day. I had to try and balance the exposure with my speedlight and reflector. I've taken more outdoor portraits since and keep improving. Got to start somewhere!

Equipment

I was using my trusty Canon 5D Mark IV, a reflector and 600 ex rt-II speedlight and ef L 70-200 f2.8 II IS and a polarizing filter.

Inspiration

My friend's daughter wanted some pics for her Instagram account and they contacted me to dona session. I hadn't really focused on portraits and was mainly doing landscapes and nature, however I thought I would give it a shot.

Editing

Yes, I used dxo photo lab as well as some adjustments in Photoshop. I have gotten much better since mind you, but this was amongst my first portraits so I can really critique this and find all the flaws, but it's been well received so I won't worry much and strive and do better each time. I feel I have done maybe too much touching up, so if I were to do it again - then, less is more!

In my camera bag

I carry mostly L series lenses now, especially the ef 24-70 f2.8 II and the 70-200 f2.8 IS II among others. I have a 600 ex rt-II speedlight and some Yongnuo xmitters.

Feedback

Take time beforehand to plan your shoot, scout locations and speak to the client to understand their needs. Don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zones and try new avenues, processes, locations and genres. You may have a favorite, however you can improve that style by learning tricks from others. Just keep pushing yourself. There are many great photographers here that are always eager to share tips and advice. Reach out to them!
