Snapshots: Vipula Samarakoon




Name: Vipula Samarakoon
Type of photographer: Professional
Equipment: The majority of my professional work is digital, using a Canon EOS-1D Mark II and a range of lenses. Portable electronic lighting is provided via a Canon 580EX (with external powerpack) and a Canon 430EX, generally used with Gary Fong's Lightsphere PJ II. Studio lighting comprises a pair of Elinchrom D-Lite 4s with stands, umbrellas and soft-boxes. As a backup, I also have a Leica M7 (yes, that's a film camera!) with a Leica Summicron-M 75mm F2.0 ASPH lens.


For posed portraits such as this, I try to angle the model's shoulder away from the camera to create a more appealing profile. In this case, it was taken to an extreme and I liked the way the arm leads the viewer's eye to the face and the hair decoration.
Camera settings: ISO 400, 70mm, 1/60sec, F5.6
