Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo during a headshot session with actress Paige Smeltzer in Richmond, VA. I took this towards the end of our session and gave a different moody vibe to this image. I love the way this turned out!Time
This session took place late in the morning almost a little before noon.Lighting
This location is my favorite to shoot as it is near a courtyard that lets sunlight in which fills the space behind the subject.Equipment
I used my Sony A7iii and used a sigma 35mm fixed art series lens. This shot was shot handheld.Inspiration
I took this photo because I always try to end my clientele sessions with something that my subject will feel proud of. I let them embrace the space and try things that they probably haven't before. Paige is a natural subject and was able to change moods with no hesitation.Editing
I used an original-created light room preset and added a gradient to display a color-shift.In my camera bag
On a shoot such as this, I like to have 2 camera bodies with me. My Sony being my primary and my Canon 7D being my backup DSLR. I often only bring a tripod if I am doing landscape and/or street shots that require stabilization.Feedback
Always overshoot, you can do more if more but can't do more with not enough.
