Location
Living down by a lakeside, it's common place to find shop fronts advertising boats for sale at night. I found the lighting these shops gave off was perfect for portrait photography.Time
Night.Lighting
This was shot infront of a boat shop store front. The lighting it gave off reminded me and my friend of Monacco, so we gave the area a pet nickname of Monacco.Equipment
5D Mark III With a Canon 50mm 1.8 mkIlInspiration
My girlfriend's lovely face. I frequently use this spot to take portraits since I lack a proper flash. I finally convinced her to join me on a shoot.Editing
Did a few versions of the photo in case Kez (the model) didn't like the results since sometimes tweaking the colors slightly differently can change opinions massively!In my camera bag
Canon 5D and a ton of vintage lenses. But mainly a 24-70mm F/ 4 since I come from a filmmaking background. At the moment I'm in love with the Jupiter 9 F/ 2.Feedback
Focus on the eyes. Can't count how many shoots I've ruined because I'm focused on the eyelashes, the eyebrows or the teeth. Get them eyes in focus!
