Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at L.A Live in Downtown Los Angeles.Time
It was a brisk overcast weekend morning.Lighting
The overcast lighting just made from an amazing softness and natural contrast.Equipment
I used my Canon 6d Mark II and my 85mm prime lens.Inspiration
We were out trying to get some dramatic shots but the model Jennifer’s smile is so engaging I couldn’t help but capture it in spite of my main goal being dramatic shots.Editing
I did light color correction in Lightroom flatten a bit of the shot using the tone curve.In my camera bag
I usually carry a portable tripod, three prime lenses (25,50,84) a flash and an aperture portable light.Feedback
My advice for a similar shot would be to just focus on the models and try an accent her best features. As far as the slight dramatic tones I personally just use a high shutter speed because I love keeping my f stop at 1.8. Play around and find the right combinations for you to create drama in your work even when the model is smiling.
