Location
This photo was taken at a weekend mansion model shoot in the Los Angeles areaTime
This was taken mid - day, interior using natural lightLighting
I enjoy working with and making natural light coming through window and shear curtains. Positioning the model perfectly to bring out the best in shadow and light balance. From time to time I like to use a "splash" of fill flash.Equipment
Nikon D5100 with a Nikon ED, AF-S Nikkor 28 - 300mm 1:3.5 -5.6 lens and Nikon 900 flash. It is my firm belief that, "It's a poor workman who blames his tools." It's not the equipment, it's the skill of the photographer.Inspiration
Capturing the soul and beauty of the model is what inspires me.Editing
I rarely use and did not in this case use any post-processing.In my camera bag
I am a minimalist using only the equipment listed before and natural light.Feedback
Know how your camera works. Know the basics of light and how to write with it. Take photos that inspire you. Learning from other photographer's work you admire. Read. Don't take criticism from others seriously. Demand improvement and excellence from yourself, Keep taking photos.
