[OC] Venus in Blue 3 [CW: artistic nudity with body paint]

This is part of a series that I shot in 2020 and now I’ll finally have the chance to show them in an exhibition on Berlin later this year.

Marked NSFW just in case...

  • Care to share your exif and/or lighting setup?

      • Camera: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
      • Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4
      • ISO: 100
      • Shutter speed: 1/80s
      • Aperture: f/4.5

      Lighting is mainly a soft box on either side, both slightly above head height and set back a bit to create the shadow in the middle of the face. The rest is quite a bit of fiddling around with the RAW. For comparison, here's what it looked like straight out of the camera:

      • Thanks! I am quite surprised you used 4.5 and not the 1.4 your lense could do. Is there too much bokeh on 1.4?

        • Well, it fully depends on the effect you’re after. In this case there was no background to blur and I wanted her body fully in focus. The flashes are by far powerful enough to work with f/4.5 which makes focusing a lot easier. For other shots I did use the f/1.4.

    • I shut down my pc for the day but I‘ll try to remember to post it tomorrow.
