Behind The Lens

Location

In my riverside studio

Time

Fuck knows

Lighting

Simply used my massive Octobox slung on a sturdy long movie boom augmented with some low power rim lights to just pick up the stitching on the helmet.

Equipment

Never ever use a fucking tripod, that’s not what real photographers ever need to do. Camera is always Nikon as the colour rendering of their sensors outclasses canons effort. Though Sonys isn’t too bad. Always use a set of mini triggers.

Inspiration

Her: on taking a brake during a shoot, she found a huge empty tea urn in my studio kitchen and surprised me by wheeling it in while I was changing a sophisticated lighting set up. And asked me if she could try and get into it!!!! So realising this was a tad different … I wheeled over my tall metal studio/aircraft steps to see what it looked like from above. Got my assistant to rearrange a couple of lights and took this shot before she started to climb out naked.

Editing

Darkend the grey studio floor and removed the chromium and brass tea urns tap.

In my camera bag

Nikon Z7mkII + Nikon D850 And a number of Nikon lenses including a 24-70 f2.8 and an 85 f1.4

Feedback

Always treat your models with respect and as interesting and intelligent people and you’d be pleasantly surprised with how much they can come up with and add value to what could have been, yet another boring shoot
