Take Me Back To Eden | Stine Kirkegaard

Meet Stine. ☺️

A lovely woman from Fyn, Denmark, who like a few others have been following me on social media for quite some time - and now finally found the courage to try it herself. 😁🙌🏻

After some personal family related issues and some tough dark times she going trough, she was convinced that now was the right time to give it a go - and I couldn't agree more. 💪🏻🥳 I went by her place a few weeks ago and chilled with her for a few hours while we did her some awesome photos.
Most of them she agreed to let me show you and some she just wanted to keep private. ☺️🙏🏻

Stine currently lives in a cozy traditional semi-old danish one floor house, which where build in such way that sunlight has a hard time coming in and lighten up the place - therefore I had to make smart use of my Nanlite Pavotubes, to brighten up her place in the most smooth ways possible. 😅

(Above is a photo of how I used incorporated closets at her home, so placeholders for my light. Usually I only use one Pavotube at the time, but this house was very dark so I just ended up using both of them.
NOTE; When working with two different lightsources (or just Pavotubes) make sure you set them for approx. the same Kelvin, so you get the most smooth look possible! 🤓)

Notice on the picture above, that I in fact placed the light in such way that they shine out in the room, and not directed at the wall/ceiling. Normally I try to avoid pointing them directily at the models, to make sure no harsh shadows appear, but this location was in need of a lot of light and because I placed them as high up as possible, the light didn't directly hit Stine. ☺️

I shot everything with my Canon R5 and mostly with the Canon 24-70 mm f./2.8 L USM III lens, except photo #02 + #10 which was with the help of the Canon 70-200 mm f./2.8 L USM III lens. 🤓 Mostly I try to shoot indoor homeshoots like these in all natural light, but as mentioned before, her house was quite dark (and to be fair; It was November and a VERY cloudy / dark lit day! 😆🌧️) so I actually made use of the Pavotubes on all different settings we shot at.

That was it for now - please let us know what you think or if you want me to offer her another shoot or anything. ☺️🙏🏻

As always tho: Please feel free to ask away about whatever you want to know about this shoot! ☺️ Technical stuff, practical stuff, tips or tricks - or simply just let me know what you think. 🥳
