My best friend for the last 10 years, he’s an old man now but still as handsome and loving as the day he came home with me.

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at my models house in a small bedroom which made this shoot particularly challenging working in such a small space

Time

Just after lunch.

Lighting

This was a simple 2 light set up one as a hair light and one main key light creating a subtle Rembrandt effect.

Equipment

I used a canon eos90d with a sigma 105mm 1.4 art lens, a godox ad200pro with soft box and a godox v2 speed light

Inspiration

My model has great eyes which I wanted to really show under her bright red hair and pale skin

Editing

I removed a few blemishes from her skin using frequency separation and increased the brightness in sections of her hair to give it a more 3d look, I also sharpened her eyelashes and tattoos just to give the image more depth.

In my camera bag

I always carry a sigma 50mm 1.4 art, sigma 105mm 1.4 art and canon 70-200 f4 Along with a Godox v2 speed light

Feedback

The main thing to do with capturing an image like this is controlling the ambient light and getting a sharp focus on the eyes it may take a few attempts to get your lighting dialled in but the results can be pretty impressive
