Behind The Lens

Location

this is a studio work taken at my own studio in Zürich Switzerland.

Time

we start shooting on Saturday the 6th Feb. 2016 and this shot was done around 17 pm

Lighting

This one is part of my blue light series, but I decide to turn it into black and white. But the lightning is the same: The goal of this series was to work in blue light. So I used blue transparent folies (films) to cover the flashes. I used 2 flashes. A beautydish in front and a normal flash for the backlight. To get a complete blue lightning you have to turn down the flashes and work on a minimum power. If you high it up you loose the effect. And of course you need to set your white balance to cold light.

Equipment

I am a Canon shooter and I use the Canon EOS DX 1. In this case I used my alround zoom lens of Canon the 28 - 300mm. The flashes are Hensel. 1 Nova D 2400 Generator and 2 EH Mini I Speed

Inspiration

I love interaction and in this work I what to show two peoples not in a loving scene. Strong and independently.

Editing

I always do a post processing and I do it by my own. I use the Adobe Bridge and the RAW Converter to set up the right contrasts and colors. In Adobe CC photoshop I do at first the skin retouching. I use the frequenzy seperation to make the skin clean, than dodge and burn to set the highlights and shadows. After that I use the detail extractor from the Google Efex Pro 4 filters to give some parts of the picture a deep sharp. A little bit skin toning and that's it. The convert into the bw I use the google silver efex pro filter

In my camera bag

I use a photocase Peli 1510. 2 cams Canon EOS D5 Mark II and a Canon EOS DX 1. My Canon lenses are 28 -300 mm zoom, 24 - 70 mm zoom, 85 mm lens, 50 mm and a Sigma wide lens 12-24mm. Also a Speedlite 580EXII flash. And for some reasons I have a lightmeter from Gossen Digipro F and a Colorchecker x-rite.

Feedback

shooting couples is a challenge. In this case we had two fitness models and we don't want to create a loving scene. Both have their own strong look. If you do couple shootings be shure what you like to show. Make them feel confidential don't use to much artistic posing.. If you use only one light - like I do in this scene - you have to feather the light. That means don't spot the faces. Find a light position that feathers it all without highlighting a special aera. This will give you this nice flow of light
