Same photographer See all Behind The Lens

Taken the other night when the fog had set in.

This image was published in "Shutter Magazine"

This crocus was so beautiful glowing in the sun. It was if the middle was peeking through and reaching for the sun.

The black background was obtained by shooting in a shadow area between two pine trees.

Location

This was taken in Martinsville, IN

Time

These were taken in around 5 pm in the fall. We started the day with wardrobe selections then started our walk around town. We found these two buses and they were a perfect match with her sunglasses!!!!

Lighting

I typically like to shoot into the sun using a reflector or strobes to light the face. Because the like was soft I faced her into the sun to light her face.

Equipment

I'm a Canon gal. I shoot my 5dMarkIV with my 85/ 135 or 200 f2 on this body. Then for second camera I shoot the new Canon R mirrorless with my 35mm on it for creative shots. I never use a tripod (I probably should lol) I rarely use flash/strobes but when I do my go to is ProFoto. The other equipment I can not live without is my "Spider Holster"

Inspiration

I spend about 4 hours photographing my high school seniors. Its an experience not just pictures. We start at my studio and then walk around town looking for great locations. I think as photographers we need to have a vision. The buses were close enough together and I knew right away it would be an awesome photo.

Editing

I bring all of my photos into light room. I lift shadows, lower highlights.. Add contrast, maybe lower noise. Name it. I do it. I then bring them into photoshop for the removal of anything which needs to be removed. Total photo is around 5 min.

In my camera bag

Canon 5dMarkIV, EOS R, 85 mm ( i use to use the 1.2 but prefer the 1.4 now. Its more consistent in my opinion). The Canon 35 f.12, and sometimes I lug around the 200f2.

Feedback

Train your eye. Look at photos with great composition. Look for wonderful light! Most of all enjoy creating. Create for you ! That s why people look for your work and hire you. "Work at standing out!"
