What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?
This picture was taken on a sunny morning in July 2010 at the Trocadero place, in Paris, France.
I did not use the flash as the lighting was perfect. It was a nice summer day; a rainstorm had happened the night before, so the sky was very clear and blue.
Still, I loved the dramatic effect of the black and white with just the model's red shirt in color.
Advice
- I don't wish I had done anything differently as I love the perspective of the Eiffel Tower and the model walking towards it.
- If you want to take a picture like that, don't try to stage it. This one was actually pretty candid. Frame it widely as you are dealing with an amazing background (can be any other landscape of course).
