Location
I had several areas in Southern California where I photographed this model. This was a secluded area in the Santa Susana Pass outside of Los Angeles.Time
This was taken in the late morning.Lighting
I loved the lighting in this area. Lots of shade on a sunny day under the trees. I used reflectors to fill in the light.Equipment
I was hand holding my canon 7D camera.Inspiration
I love capturing people in their true essence. This model was going through a lot at this time and I wanted to capture her pure soul and beauty.Editing
I like to keep the original photos as they are without manipulation.In my camera bag
I carry several lenses, tripod and reflectors for outdoor shoots like this.Feedback
Working with a model with experience is very helpful if you are a beginner. I like using props like this sheer material. Be yourself to help make the model feel comfortable especially when shooting nudes or semi nudes.
