Behind The Lens
Location
Photo was shot in my guest bedroom of my house.Time
Mid afternoon, the room faces south and we had some good natural light coming through the window.Lighting
I used natural indirect lighting from a window behind the photographer in the photo.Equipment
Canon 5D, Mark 2. 24-55 lens. Handheld.Inspiration
My model Kim inspires my photographyEditing
I used Lightroom to make the picture pop, increased contrast, brighten the eyes and smooth the skin.In my camera bag
We just bought a Canon 80D with various Canon lens and a Canon Speedlight 430ex.Feedback
Take a lot of shots with various angles, varied lighting and poses. We publish only a small percentage of the photos we actually shoot. Comfort and trust between the model and the photographer is critical to a good natural photo.
