Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in my home studio in Ottawa Canada. The model is a friend of mine and was a little shy.Time
This picture was captured in early afternoon. I like to take my time in the morning setting up for my shoot. Also I find that young models don't really like early morning shoots.Lighting
For this image I used window light (facing west). I am lucky to have this huge window, when the weather is cloudy, I have a beautiful diffused light.Equipment
This was shot with my Hasselblad X1D-50c and XCD 80 mm F1.9 lens, I really love this combo for portraits.Inspiration
I liked the shyness and the willingness to pose nude... It creates an interesting mood. I also liked the untanned part of her breasts,,, I thought it was sexy.Editing
For post processing I like to keep it simple. In this case I felt B&W was more powerful so I did a simple B&W conversion imitating a yellow filter.In my camera bag
I own a Sony 7r, a Phaseone P20+, a Fujifilm GFX100s and the hasselblad X1D-50c. I love fixed lenses form wide to natural focal lengths. 23mm, 63mm, 80mm, 110mmFeedback
Take your time setting the shots, ask your model what she is comfortable doing. Stop if you feel discomfort from your model. Try many different angles. Ask your model what type of photography she likes, and plan to shoot one such image for her as well.
