Wow beautiful girl! The lighting, the clothes the background and the pose are excellent. Would it be too forward too ask the girls first name?

Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken in my studio in Bournemouth UK, we use flash with octabox modifiers to control the light and this was taken with a coffee brown background roll.Time
I think form memory this was taken about 7pm in the evening as my Model Deanna had just come to me from her work for the sessionLighting
This was a one light set up, my philosophy in photography, keep it simple and a silver reflector to the right of the model as she stood to throw a bit of light back to the subject. I switch between silver and white reflectors to he the right balance ion the contrast of the reflected lightEquipment
Canon 6D Mk2 with 24-105 l series lens, Lencarta pro 300 flash lights set at half power to achieve F8Inspiration
This was her first session and such a pretty thing i wanted to keep her innocence in the image and i want my images alway to provoke a question in the viewing.Editing
Yes always in Photoshop to post process, i am an avid mole and spot remover and a bit of softening to the skin, overall about 30 minutes on each image but she had pretty much perfect skin so not much needed doing to make the imageIn my camera bag
Canon 6d Mk2, Sony Alph 7r2 with canon adaptor, Canon 6d origional, 24-105 L series, Tamron 100mm F2.8 pro, Canon 50mm f1.2, Canon 75-300 F5.6, flash/light meter, Metz flash gun, and various bits and bobs batteries clothsFeedback
Keep it simple and talk to your model lots, they like receiving instructions and keep it all under control even if its not going quite right. And remember if you cant see it your camera will not record it, use those eyes, build your image and then pick up the camera to record it.
