Super interesting to hear the tapes while walking Alcatraz. The prisoners said that the loneliest night of the year was on New Years Eve because the c

It's important to create for yourself. It's one of the biggest ways to learn and grow.

Shot in an athletic building in a small town in Minnesota. It's always worth adventuring in unexpected places!

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Minnehaha Falls Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Time

Because this photo was snapped about 4 or 5 years ago, I can't remember the exact time of day.. but I would guess around 6pm on a Summer, Minnesota night.

Lighting

I selected a spot that was shaded so he had even lighting on his face with no harsh shadows.

Equipment

At the time, I had a Canon 60D and probably a 50mm 1.8 on for this photo.

Inspiration

It was Charlie's 3rd birthday and he LOVED trains! His mom and dad dressed him up as a conductor and we had a lot of fun playing with his toys while I snapped some shots.

Editing

I absolutely did some editing to the photo, but it was many years ago and my workflow has completely changed. It was most likely edited in Photoshop using a free action that I found online.

In my camera bag

At the time this photo was taken, I had a Canon 60D, 50mm 1.8 and 24-70 2.8 Today in my bag you will find a Canon 6D, 50mm 1.2, 35mm f/2, 85mm Petzval, Yongnuo External Flash (this is seriously a cheap flash that works wonders), a prism, a small pipe, my iPhone 6, and for back up I have my Canon 60D.

Feedback

Engage with your subjects. If you're photographing a child, first spend a few minutes getting to know them. Play a quick game with them, or talk to them about something they are interested in so they feel more comfortable with you. Have their parents stand behind you making them laugh!
