Location
This shot was taken on location in a rented apartment. The apartment was very well lighted and well suited to portraiture especially high key photos.Time
It was taken at last day of July 2017 in the morning between 10 to noon, utilizing the daylight coming in through the big windows in the apartment.Lighting
The room used for shooting was bathed in nice daylight from a big window and an even bigger balcony glass door. Additional lighting was provided by external flashes.Equipment
Canon 7DmkII, 35mm Sigma f1.4 Art, two radio triggered speedlites (630EX-RT), reflective umbrella, rogue flashbender softbox.Inspiration
It was taken during a boudoir photo shoot involving various lingerie, and the black top was perfect contrasts to the white walls and white couch.Editing
Developed in RawTherapee and processed further in GIMP, using various retouching methods to clear blemishes as well as to beautify and enhance skin.In my camera bag
Canon 7DmkII, Canon 70D (Backup Camera), Sigma 35mm f1.4 lens, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens, Rogue Flashbender Portrait kit, 2x 630EX-RT speedlites, 430EX-RT speedlite, Canon radio trigger, 2 travel tripods (doubles as light stands), 1 collapsible light stand, shoot through/Reflective umbrella, circular reflector.Feedback
The most important advice here is to have a good place to shoot and preferably with good lighting (ambient and artificial) and create a good rapport with your model to make her feel at ease, having negotiated the shoot well before the shoot and don't spring any surprises during the shoot that may ruin the mood.
