Welcome to my new adventure: šø
Every day working in a studio is a new adventure. Itās a part of my life that Iām absolutely loving, even though itās quite demandingāboth physically and emotionally.
Here, youāre not just a photographer; sometimes you become a translator, other times a psychologist, all in an instant. Thatās why, from now on, Iāll call you, my readers, Adventure Crew!
Today Iām bringing you this project to share with my Adventure Crew š. I took in the studio of a doctor from Timor-Leste š¹š±, who is currently studying his specialty in Cuba. I had never met anyone from a place so far from mine ā that country is actually quite close to Australia! So, everything felt very exotic to me hahaha.
He spoke Spanish very well, so communication wasnāt a problem ā which had been one of my concerns. But just in case, I was already dusting off my English and a bit of Portuguese š .
Honestly, it was very easy to work with him since he knew exactly what he wanted ā a clear sign of a well-organized mind. He wanted to look professional and friendly, and he made sure that the flags, especially the one from his country, were clearly visible.
For this session, I used a three-light setup: a 120 cm octabox with grid (SK 400 1/8) as the main light, a window softbox with grid as the fill light (SK 400 1/16), and a rim light with a stripbox (AD 200 1/8). The camera settings were f/5.6, 1/160s, ISO 160, using a Nikkor 50mm lens.
See you on the next adventure!šš·
