Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken using the natural light, without flash, outdoor in the shade.

Time

Evening time.

Lighting

With this image I wanted to accomplish the same effect that I would if I was using artificial source of light (like flash) by using natural daylight.

Equipment

For this image I used Canon 7d camera with the Canon Macro EF-S 60mm F/2.8. I like shooting portraits with this particular lens because it gives very crisp focused portraits with shallow depth of field blurry backgrounds.

Inspiration

This portrait is one of classical fashion modeling position - it is nothing original, nor special regarding the posing of the model - but amazingly it always works. I like the mystery about it, one eye hidden and the other just revealing enough of something…you tell me what!?

Editing

This photo is a bit post-processed. For post-procesing my images I like to use Lightroom in combination with CS6. On this particular image I enhanced model's eye a bit. Photo was taken as the RAW file so I enhanced the colors using Lightroom. And of course color is turned into mono mode - I did lose beauty of models green eye but it looks more dramatic in mono.

In my camera bag

In my camera bag I carry Canon EOS 7d. Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II and Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro. Just recently, to my camera bag I added wide angle Canon lens EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. Tripod that I use is Hakuba S-4500. Not to forget several compact flash cards (I have 32 GB for the RAW format images and movies, and also several 4 GB flash cards just in case). On a longer trips I always take my computer and external drive for extra back-ups.

Feedback

Help your model to relax and trust you. Guide him/her through a process and take lots of images. One will certainly work! If it doesn't - send the model to me!
