Outstanding Creativity

Behind The Lens

Location

This image was shot at my home studio in Kingston, Jamaica

Time

This was a Wednesday evening with studio strobes.

Lighting

This was a 3 point light setup. Two strip box with grid on either side of the model, pointing down, powered at 1/16 and one octagon with grid powered at 1/8 slightly slightly above the model, also pointing down.

Equipment

Canon 7D Mark ii shutter at 1/200 and ISO 160, Canon 50 mm f/1.4 with an aperture of f/9, one FlashPoint XPlor 600 and two off market L400 studio flash.

Inspiration

This model is a modern style dancer and so we decided to do a fine art nude shoot. We went through range of ideas and ended up with this creative pose.

Editing

The image was edited in Photoshop using frequency separation, then dodging and burning. I then converted the image into monochrome and used a black and white layer to adjust the reds and the yellows.

In my camera bag

I pack my trusty 50mm f/1.4 and my 85mm f/1.8. Prime lenses just make life easier. Depending on my plans I will take my 70-200mm f2.8, my Tonika 16-28mm f/2.8. Tripod for Landscape shots. Flashpoint XPLOR 600 or Flashpoint eVOLV 200 TTL if I am photographing a model for extra lighting on an outdoor shoot along with 5D Mark iv.

Feedback

For this, you must create a safe zone and you will need a model who is comfortable with nudity. It's a plus if the model is a jazz/ballet/modern-style dancer but a gymnast or yoga oriented model is just as good. Have fun, try different poses and things.
