Behind The Lens
Location
This was shot at a local park on an very cloudy day so we had to wait for the sun in between shots and use a gold reflector to fill in the shadows. As a self taught photographer adaptability is always key.Time
Afternoon, roughly around 4h00pmLighting
So I am a one man crew. I have one lens and its a 75-300mm lens. So the setup had me stand off a bit from my model, compose and focus the shot from a tripod, wait for the sun to come out from behind the clouds, depress the shutter on delay and bolt off to reflect some light on my model and wait for the shots to go off. Go back and do it again, again and again????. Overall we had a fun time because she actually had never modeled before and I had plenty time to put her at ease and we we were laughing at me mostly and I think she did well.Equipment
Canon 700D. tripod. focal length : 85mm from a 70 - 300mm Canon lens. S : 1/200s ISO: 100 F:4 Gold reflectorInspiration
Weekly I jog through the park and just always thought was a good spot for taking pictures. I wanted to capture something different from what I had done before and also wanted to put my "directing" skills to the test and had access to a beautiful inexperienced model that would solely rely on me for poses so I planned for it.Editing
I always retouch my images using Adobe LrC. My intention is to always be minimal stay true to the original image as possible.In my camera bag
Well, believe it or not but "All" my gear????. At this moment I only own 1 body, my Canon 700D(named after my late mom: Etta), my only lens which is the 75 - 300mm f 4-5.6, a variable ND Filter(I stay ready for long exposure shots) , my proudly recently acquired speedlite 430EX II(OMG! My pictures will never be the same) and backup batteries for both my camera and my flash.Feedback
Well, I would say: 1) Have a clear mental image of what your final product should be like. 2) Visit the location first(with the model is best but not necessary) and have a clear plan on how you will execute the shots(poses, exact spots on location, equipment to bring etc) and discuss relevant parts with your model pre shoot. 3) Do not allow unforseen events to force you into a different photoshoot than the one that you had planned. Be prepared to wait patiently or act to get what you wanted. 4) Be present in the moment on shoot day to allow flexibility and adaptation to changing scenarios that the plan didn't cover and have a good time.
