Location
This photo was taken in a small woodland on the back lanes between Seal and Kemsing in rural Kent in the U.K.Time
We shot in this bit of woodland at the end of the afternoon in late spring.Lighting
There was lovely, soft, spring afternoon light.Equipment
This photo was shot handheld with a Canon 30D and a Canon EF 50mm f1.2Inspiration
I saw a nice spot between some trees and wanted to capture a romantic and sensual image that would be permitted on social media, and it turned out pretty well!Editing
Some minor contrast changes - the older Canon sensors wash out contrast.In my camera bag
At the time I had a Canon 30D with an EF 50mm f1.2, an EF 70-200mm IS f2.8 and an EF 16-35mm f2.8 in my bag. These days I have the same glass with a Canon 5D Mk3 and a Leica M10 with a Summilux 35mm f1.4 and a Zeiss 50mm f2.0Feedback
Always be ready to put the model in a pose that matches the surroundings and experiment as much as you can. Shots like this come along when you play in the field with a great subject.
