Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at an Events evening with her sister as well they both wanted their photo taken individually as well as 1 of them together.

Time

This photo is one of which i am proud of. Kelly has a beautiful Smile which meant my job was half done already, the photo was taken around 19:30 with low light as there was entertainment going on ,therefore I had to use my Flash

Lighting

I had to use my flash as i really wanted to get the catchment in her eyes ,whilst avoiding Red eye of course, I took a number of shots Bouncing the light from the ceiling /walls the best shot was when I turned the Flash to the rear of me.

Equipment

The photo was shot with either my D7000 or D90 I suspect it is more Likely the D7000 as this is my favourite, with a Nikon 55mm-200mm Lens, it was hand held and my flash was a Nikon SB900. The reason why no tripod was used was there was no space around the tables to set it up.

Inspiration

Such a beautiful young lady with lovely eyes and skin tones . I knew that she would be the perfect subject to capture . I placed her hair to one side to set the pose I wanted, I made her smile a little and got the shot. Her sister is Just as Nice however she has green eyes. Not entirely sure which i prefer if i'm being honest. Beautiful model she could be.

Editing

Just some cropping in photoshop and I may have removed a few Blemishes, i did play with the exposure a little not much at all

In my camera bag

I am a little paranoid when i am doing a job the what 'If' is always in my mind therefore i always take my back up camera, plenty of spare full charged camera batteries also extra batteries for my flash gun. A 50mm Nikon 1.8 Lens a 24mm-85mm Lens for large group shots my Nikon 55mm-200mm Nikon lens.

Feedback

As i am still learning myself every day I do look at other photographers work and if possible contact them for advice, photographers are very keen to share there information which can be invaluable. Practice with Family members watch tutorials You tube is full of them. Learn more about lighting , posing people.
