Location
The model is my sister. During the quarantine, I took this photo of her in my back yard since we couldn’t go out!Time
It was taken at golden hour!Lighting
Golden hour is my absolute favorite time of the day to shoot! The lighting is so soft and even, it makes a big difference in your portraits vs shooting in the harsher light of the daytime.Equipment
I just used a Nikon D3100 and the kit lens that comes with it, nothing fancy!Inspiration
Spring is one of my favorite times to shoot because I love incorporating flowers into my portraits. Since we were stuck at home because of the quarantine, I just decided to take her out to the backyard and start shooting!Editing
Yes! I edit in Photoshop. For this image, I wanted to add a lot of light, color, and warmth into it to make it look like art instead of just a snapshot. Jessica Drossin’s actions are my all time favorite and I use them in most of my editing! Can’t recommend enough!In my camera bag
I recently purchased a Canon 5D Mark III, so I carry that, a Canon 24-70 2.8 L II, my Nikon D3100 that I shot this photo with, and a huge impact 5-1 reflector - I use the silver side. My camera bag is a House of Flynn bag which is my absolute favorite!Feedback
Shoot in golden hour for soft even lighting and try out Jessica Drossin’s textures and overlays for Photoshop! They completely transform your photos!
