Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was shot in the Carriage House studio in Washington DC.Time
This was shot indoors, in the night.Lighting
A continuous striplight was used to light the contrasting skin tones. I had especially wanted the harsh and narrow strip of light to reflect on the duskier skin as well as leave a void of light in between the two bodies.Equipment
I used a 5d mk III with a Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 lens. Continuous lighting was used in place of flash. This image was shot at 200mm focal length, 1/160sec, f/7.1, ISO 100.Inspiration
This image was shot with desert dunes in mind. Similar to the dunes, I wanted to create contrasting contours of the two wonderful ladies of different skin tone.Editing
I processed the RAW image through photoshop CC to tune the exposure, white balance and bring out the clarity on the foreground image and applied a film preset through Analog Efex Pro.In my camera bag
My lenses include the Canon 24-105mm F4, Tamron 70-200mm F2.8, Tokina 12-28mm F2.8, Canon 100mm F2.8 and a Sigma 50mm F1.4 art. I have a couple of polarizing filters and a LED strip light for an occasional use to indulge in some long exposure creativity.Feedback
Bodyscapes and playing with shadows require experimentation. Some prior examples of abstract bodyscape images help identify a concept, maybe even a storyline. A human body has so many curves that can be manipulated to create fascinating abstract. This image was just scratching the surface.
