THANK YOU everybody! I am totally flabbergasted; even though I've been trying for many months, & entered several contests, this is the first time I've won.

Location
Taken at Skyline Studio in Houston, TX (USA)Time
Afternoon (12:47 pm)Lighting
The lighting came from the big windows at the left of the image. There were many large (4' x 8') flats used as reflectors (two are visible as the background).Equipment
Canon 5D ii. No flash. Hand held. 1/100 sec; f6.3; ISO 400; 24-105mm f4.0 Canon Zoom at 35mm. ? Although certainly not "equipment" a very good model made this image possible. My thanks to JESS ROBINSON, a wonderful model that I highly recommend.Inspiration
Photography is what I do.Editing
Oh yes, lots & lots of tiny marks were removed (& a few big ones). As an example, you do not see the tape holding the two flats in the back ground together, nor do you see the dents & dings common to a sheet of well used styrofoam board. Major skin imperfections were cloned out. Over perfecting must be avoided to avoid the "plastic" look.In my camera bag
Depends. As a usual minimum, a Canon 5D iii with a 85mm f1.8 canon prime & a 40mm f2.8 Canon prime pancake. If I don't know what to expect I'll bring a Canon 24-105mm f4.0 zoom (Avoid using this lens at the wide end with anything having parallel vertical lines, but it's OK for shooting people, particularly if they are skinny.) In some instances, I'll pack a Canon on camera flash. All the above will fit in a small, light bag, along with a battery charger, extra battery & memory cards. If I'm out of town on an important shoot I'll bring a rolling case, 2 or three bodies & several lenses. I'll also have props if I'm shooting models, Sometimes I'll bring a couple of reflectors &/or studio lights, as well as tripods & light stands. Most of the above will not be necessary, but I'll be more or less prepared for the more usual circumstances.Feedback
It is all about the light. WHERE you place the light(s) is far more important than the type or number of lights you use. (Reflectors count as lights in some instances.) You should develop a good feel for lighting ratios. With modern DSLR's the lighting ratio is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than the amount of light. Use a light meter if you are a beginner. There are apps that can be down loaded to make your cell phone work as a light meter. Alternately, you can use your digital camera as a meter, which is what I do.
