Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in Noceto, at the zanfurlina park, which in autumn explodes with the typical colors of the seasonTime
I took this photo in the afternoon. At this time of year the light in the afternoon is soft immediately, just put yourself slightly in the shade. It was October 24, 5:01 pmLighting
it's a photo taken in natural light, no flash here. the only important thing I can say is that the sunlight is filtered by the trees around.Equipment
I took this picture with my old sony A7ii which I still own, a slightly dated camera but still great for this type of shot. As a lens I used the samyang 135mm f2 manual, a large, fully manual lens that gives beautiful bokeh.Inspiration
With my wife we ??were doing some shots of two friends, we had organized this autumn shooting, when my wife told Natalia to try to put a flower in her mouth. I immediately noticed how original, strange and unusual this pose was. Certainly not natural, perhaps forced, but undoubtedly it does not leave you indifferent. something clicked inside of me.Editing
Natalia is young and she is a beautiful girl, it is certainly not necessary to do a lot of post production in her portraits. Generally, more than anything else I adjust the light, the colors and add a bit of vignetting to emphasize the subject.In my camera bag
I do both portraits and landscapes and sometimes night photos. Each genre has its own specific equipment. Unfortunately, there is no equipment that is suitable for everything. For this type of photo I generally use a fixed and speedy lens in addition to the camera, which guarantees me a good detachment of the subject from the background and a good three-dimensionality.Feedback
Find a friend (male o female) with an interesting face who likes to be photographed, study some original poses on pinterest, experiment with light, go and shoot.
