“My advice for capturing a similar image is that you need to have a lot of patience positioning the lights one by one, all while taking example shots.”
FOCUS FALL-OFF
By using an aperture of f/1.6 Alessandro is able to feature a significant amount of the location environment in the frame, without the tangled detail of the forest setting drawing the eye away from the model. A telephoto, wide-aperture prime lens such as his 85mm f/1.2 optic allows compression of the scene and a steep focus gradient, blurring everything beyond a few feet from the subject –a must-have location portraiture lens.
