Location
The location for this shoot was a park close to Suita in Osaka, nothing special, just nice and simple place, as we wanted to shoot outside after before that we had a studio shoot around there! You can see the setup & result from the srudio shoot as well here: CLICK! On that day we had some really beautiful orange sunset, which turned out to be a great result in our shoot! Anyway it was falling off quite quickly so we had to be very fast in the shoot!
Lighting Information
Lighting here was made of 2 strobes, one as a main light for the model, and the other to add some sunset mood with some orange tones! So as the main light, I was using a Canon 580EXII in a 80×60 Softbox, which I’m using on location quite often! Also behind her I decided to put some orange filtered flash, as the sunset did not bring any rays of light to the place where we were! I wanted to have some orange tones in her here, so that was the way to do it! As a flash I was using a Nikon SB-26, pretty handy with the Optical slave feature, considering that I had only a pair of Pocket Wizards available at that time!
Gear Used
I am using my Canon 5DMII with a Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM lens, and as you can see the settings it is set at wide open aperture, F2! Click on the link to see other images with that awesome lens! Also I’m using a full size Canon 5DMII, they are a pretty good combination As you can see I’m mixing Canon & Nikon flashes, well I’m doing that pretty often!
