Location
This will sound bizarre but I took it in our upstairs bathroom! It is a large room with 3 windows facing east and west so it gets great diffused light!Time
Late in the afternoonLighting
Natural daylight with a boost from hot shoe flash bouncing off the white ceilingEquipment
Nikon D7000, my recollection is that it was shot with my Macro lens - a Nikkor 105mmInspiration
My son (then aged around 6) had a terrible rash around his mouth and I was taking part in a 52 week project with that weeks theme being faces so naturally I didn't think his rash would be photogenic so we played around with composition, he was patient for around 5 minutes (maybe less!!!)Editing
Yes I used Portrait pro to enhance the iris just a little and to make the eyeball slightly whiterIn my camera bag
70 - 200mm lens, 17-55mm and 10-24mm along with ND grads and my big Lee stopper, remote control, tripod, and a hand puppet (kids love it).Feedback
Patient child and indoor natural daylight
