Location
This photograph was taken at Lake Wheeler in Raleigh, NC. I’m a self-taught photographer and have had great help from other photographers around me when I’m looking to learn a new skill.Time
This is one of my favorite images. It was taken just after lunch time and there where enough trees and clouds to help me play with the lighting a bit and capture it correctly.Lighting
Godox AD600 with 7’ Wescott umbrellaEquipment
Nikon D7100 with a 85mm f/1.8 Nikon prime lens.Inspiration
I’ve known the model for many years and this was a time after a rough part of her life to wash off the bad and rekindle what she found beautiful about herself. A time to drown the negative and taking on life in a fierce way. Her mental health and her heart were finally healing and this was the start of finding her fire again.Editing
Very light post processing. Only adjusted contrast and shadows.In my camera bag
