    how do you photograph this? (light, lens, ...)


    • f1.4 focus on eyes, strobe with diffusor from top right, some light redish treatment of the blacks? (my guess)uan
    • camera is also above the model, pointing slightly down.uan
    • above 2 are right plus light source may be a strip box or narrow softbox (look at eyes for softbox reflection)... light source above model background far awayvaxorcist
    • start with pretty girl scantily clad in artsy clothing/accessories... the rest you could do in Ps if you wanted toformed
    • Photoshop > Gaussian Blurutopian
    • there was some "grain" or "add-noise" and/or texture overlay too....vaxorcist
    • Never use Ps!
      Not sure on exact camera but it looks like a large format camera style. Best cameras of all time!

    • Probably a Large Format camera. Slight tilt/shift. Lighting is a large softbox just off-center, higher than the model's head.

    • Never use Ps? Huh? No one can tell if it's done well, just like you can't tell if it's "large format" or a phone if it's a good photoformed
    • I feel you can tell. Also for the "technical skill" and artistic. I find the moment computers involves the magick is lost.mugwart
    • It's definitely not a phone photo.

    • You may not be able to tell film or digital in this shitty compressed jpg, but if you look at a true analog print, you'll know the difference.

    • Unless you're a philistine!

    • Nah, you can't tell, that's silly. It's totally up to the artist. A great image is a great image, doesn't matter how it was made (Ps, in camera, etc.)formed
    • It just depends on where you are coming from. I come from Ps, so naturally that's paramount.formed
    • Someone coming from only film might think it should all be in camera, but it doesn't matter. If it's done well, you cannot tell.formed
    • Oh, it doesn't have to be "all in the camera" to be a film photo. Film with Photoshop is still film, and you I can still tell the difference.

    • Which is not to say that digital images are not great images! They can be very great! Film isn't inherently better, it's just different.
