Location

The photo was taken in my garden.

Time

In the beginning of the afternoon.

Lighting

Natural light only.

Equipment

I shot the image with a Sony A7R3 and a Sony 85mm GMaster.

Inspiration

I wanted to make a nude photo with nature covering some body parts (<&bt; black stripes on Insta or Facebook). The shallow depth of field (in-camera f 2.0) aids to transform the fore- and background and to get the focus on the eyes and face of the model.

Editing

Basic use of ALR and APS. I used DxO to clean the skin. Today I use Luminar AI, in some cases I still use DxO.

In my camera bag

Sony A7R3, Sony 85mm Gmaster, Sony 55mm. The rest depends on the shoot: where (portability) and subject.

Feedback

Shooting through leaves is always a gamble: you have to take lots of shots. Ask yourself: are the fore- and background aiding the photo? Are they distracting? Did you see the blue object in the background of my photo? Don't ask a model to do something she isn't comfortable with even if she said yes.
