Location
This photo was taken 3-4 years ago and the model was super nervous, so I asked her to rest her head on her arms to give her some comfort.Time
Evening... but it doesn't really matter if there's inside a studio.Lighting
I used two lights, one main on the front right side and one hair light on the back left. I tried a Rembrandt lighting style.Equipment
I used a Canon TI1 crop sensor... very basic equipment. Two studio lights.Inspiration
I was looking for a Hollywood, romantic style photo.Editing
Basic Photoshop, softening skin, brightness, curves, tone, color correction.In my camera bag
Mi Nikon D800E, Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR; Tamron 24-70 2.8. Two flashes, reflector, batteries, 2 pocket Wizards, etc.Feedback
Lighting is essential in this kind of shoots, precise metering will allow you to shoot around F8 and positioning the model to get the fabulous triangle of light on the other side of the nose.
