Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Knole Park in Kent.

Time

It was just after sunset.

Lighting

The sun had fully set and the golden hour was just about over so it was Really too dark to shoot, however, Zara is an amazing model and can hold very awkward positions for long enough to expose correctly.

Equipment

EOS 6D, Tamron 24-70mm

Inspiration

Zara and I had been working in a studio nearby and decided to go out and grab some fresh air. Knole park is such a nice place we ended up shooting more there than we had in the studio. This shot just sort of happened.

Editing

There wasnt a great deal to do so i just lightened it a bit in Lightroom

In my camera bag

EOS 6D, 85mm, 24-70mm and a few accessories

Feedback

Go with the flow. Over-planning shoots completely stifles creativity. Having a rough idea of what you want to capture is great but if you over script it doesnt leave time for inspiration to create the truly natural shots.
