This image was shot at my home studio in Kingston, JamaicaTime
This was a Thursday evening and because we were in studio, the lighting was unaffected by outside ambient light.Lighting
This was a 3 point light setup. Two strip box with grid on either side of the model powered at 1/16 and one octagon with grid powered at 1/8 slightly before the camera.Equipment
Canon 5D Mark iv shutter at 1/200 and ISO 160, Canon 50 mm f/1.4 with an aperture of f/9, one FlashPoint XPlor 600 and two off market L400 studio flash turned directly on the white backdrop.Inspiration
The model wanted do do a shoot but didn't bring much to shoot in so I went to pick out the hat we decided to do something like this. After a couple of shots, I figured oil and water would give it added feel, which it did.Editing
The image was edited in Photoshop using frequency separation, then dodging and burning. I then converted the image into monochrome and adjust the reds and the yellows.In my camera bag
I pack my trusty 50mm f/1.4 and my 85mm f/1.8. Prime lenses just make life easier. Depending on my plans I will take my 70-200mm f2.8, my Tonika 16-28mm f/2.8. Tripod for Landscape shots and Flashpoint XPLOR 600 or Flashpoint eVOLV 200 TTL for extra lighting on an outdoor shoot along with Canon 7D Mark ii or 5D Mark iv.Feedback
Have fun, try different things. Add elements like oil, water, the hat and a chair if it brings your ideas to life.
