This is part of a series that I shot in 2020 and now I’ll finally have the chance to show them in an exhibition on Berlin later this year.
Marked NSFW just in case...
Care to share your exif and/or lighting setup?
Lighting is mainly a soft box on either side, both slightly above head height and set back a bit to create the shadow in the middle of the face. The rest is quite a bit of fiddling around with the RAW. For comparison, here's what it looked like straight out of the camera:
Thanks! I am quite surprised you used 4.5 and not the 1.4 your lense could do. Is there too much bokeh on 1.4?
Well, it fully depends on the effect you’re after. In this case there was no background to blur and I wanted her body fully in focus. The flashes are by far powerful enough to work with f/4.5 which makes focusing a lot easier. For other shots I did use the f/1.4.
Thank you so much for explaining:)
I shut down my pc for the day but I‘ll try to remember to post it tomorrow.
You could have at least gave her a towel and cab fare
You know what? Maybe keep that kind of comment for the porn communities.
I'm a fellow artist
