Behind The Lens
Location
In the living room of a two bedroom apartment. I didn't have the money to rent a studio so I sorta had to work with what I had available.Time
It was night time. Which worked to my advantage considering I wouldn't of had enough materials to block the sun from the living room window!Lighting
Experiment with angle and placement of light on the target you are photographing.Equipment
One light, a jacket, Nikon d3200 /w a 50mm 1.8 lens, a black sheet, and a cigar for the smoke.Inspiration
It was actually an idea from the mind of the gentleman I was photographing. He needed cover art and music single photos. He told me what he was seeing in his head.I just made the ideal a reality.Editing
I did all my editing in lightroom. I did do too much because the pictures was already pretty good. But I went in and made certain things pop like the smoke and brighten up any color that was black.In my camera bag
I'm still collecting I just made the switch to Sony but I usually carry a 50mm 1.8, a zoom lens, a speedlight, lens filters, lens hoods, and white balance cards.Feedback
Just experiment with the angles of your lighting and where you shoot. Don't be afraid to try something out of your norm.
