This was the second session I shot with Ari at a local park. This bridge was awesome.

I was shooting for the first time with Tiffany and Devon in the studio. I asked them if we could shoot some very intimate series. They dived right i

Devon and Tiffany pulled out this mirror and couch and started to pose. They were so sensuous and sultry that it was amazing to me they had just met.

Location

Tiffany and I shot this image at Studio52 North, Middletown, CT - a local studio run by Stephen Beebe.

Time

I shot this at about 11am on a cloudy day, you can see the overcast look through the studio's windows. I was using a tripod set a little lower than Tiffany's chest height so it gave her a bit more length.

Lighting

I wanted to get the most out of the light to wrap around her, so I made sure that I had 2 studio lights to her left, one straight on, and the other at an angle. You can see where the light hits her side and her back, bringing her away from the column. I setup an additional wide area lightbox on the right, to give the background even lighting - I wanted to show the beautiful hardwood that this studio contains.

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon D850 with a 50mm F1.8 lens. I was aproximately 15 feet from Tiffany with 2 studio lights on her - one from her left aimed at about 45 degrees and about 1 foot above her, and the second was almost directly behind her; both had a power output of about 3.

Inspiration

I shot about 6 other times with Tiffany, mostly in abandoned locations. This was our first studio shoot and I wanted to shoot and emphasis her beautiful curves in a fine-art manner. She and I had already shot about 6 other image sets before we got to this one - those utilized a black couch, a floor to ceiling swing, and other types of studio equipment. For this image set, I told her my concept was just going to be her - with the column to give her some great lines to work off of. We began with black lingerie and ended with her nude. Every one of the images in this set were dynamite!

Editing

I use Lightroom and Photoshop for all my processing. My first step, in Lightroom, is to make corrections to light and color, because my camera's color is at a slightly desaturated setting that allows me to adjust the color as I need. In Photoshop, I do more refined tweaking of color, vibrancy, setting of contrast through curves adjustments, and ultimately the last step is to use the healing, patch, and clone stamping tools to touch up. With Tiffany, there wasn't a lot of this last step - she is pretty flawless.

In my camera bag

My studio bag has my Nikon D850, a backup body, a 17-70mm F2 Sigma lens, my Nikon 50mm F1.8, and a Nikon 85mm F2 if I am shooting specific portrait or fashion looks. I always have my gels, 2 Pocket Wizard Plus triggers, and also carry 3 Newer TT560 flashes just in case the studio lights aren't working - and everything has extra batteries. For my bag, I have 2 light stands and 2 Godox 48" hex light boxes, along with a ton of props (a couple blankets, hazard tape, rope for that occasional shibari shot, plastic flowers and a glass vase, aqua green glass stones for fine arts work, ribbon, etc).

Feedback

I try to go in with a shot list - normally 6-8 concepts. I don't use it as a "must shoot these" planner, but rather a guide - I find that sometimes a concept or two won't fit the models look and you have to adjust. I also try to be very open with shooting concepts so that we can pivot and try something new. During the shoot, I always am asking the models opinion on what we are shooting, how can we change it to make it better or more interesting. And, especially for nude shooting, I always lay out my 3 rules of shooting in the beginning (1) I will never touch you, if I need to adjust something I will ask first, (2) I will show you everything we shoot on the back of the camera, anything you don't like, we can remove, and (3) if at any time you are uncomfortable with a concept, pose, or other things like heat or need a drink, just let me know and we'll pivot. I find this gives them the upfront attitude that I am there to work with them and make the shoot a success.
