Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in my school's lighting studio. Ever since I discovered the place I've teaching myself how to use all of the lights and modifiers in my free time.Time
This was taken around 11:00 am, but it was indoors so you really can't tell.Lighting
I set up a large rectangle diffuser onto an alien bee strobe. Ever since I learned how to use strobes I've been seriously upping my photography game.Equipment
I use a Nikon D3400 with its kit lens, the 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6. It's wicked sharp for a lens you can find for $80 or so on eBay. I also used an alien bee strobe with a large rectangle diffuser and then a large reflector hanging on the opposite side of the model.Inspiration
I've been freelancing with my school's newspaper for a few months now, and I've been wanting to up their photography game. Their photos have been by no means bad, but I thought it could use some studio shots. This photo specifically was shot for a story titled "express yourself" all about fashion. I thought this was the perfect time to learn about fashion photography and give the newspaper some pazaz with fun studio shots.Editing
In the original photo, you could see the back of the studio with it's black walls and a bit of the ceiling. I went in and used a few of the healing tools to give the photo a seamles white background. Besides that, I did standard exposure adjustments.In my camera bag
My backpack is usually filled with my Nikon D3400 and two kit lenses, though recently I picked up a sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 to replace the 18-55mm Nikkor lens. I also carry around a Neewer Speedlight with a wireless trigger. The rest of the backpack is filled with other odds and ends such as batteries, SD cards, filters, and the like.Feedback
Play around, have fun with it. It takes a lot of experimenting to figure out how to control the lights exactly as you want them. Grab some friends and just play around with the lights and their positions to see what you can create. That way, you'll be ready for the real deal. On a more practical note, have your model tilt their head up slightly (especially when the light is hgih above them) so as to avoid getting deep shadows under the eyes.
