Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken in Coahuila and Texas Museum in Monclvoa Coahula, what you see in the back is the actual entrance to the museum that used to be a military fort.

Time

I was late afternoon, there was still enough light for a photography but I've always been partial to BW

Lighting

the lighting was great, the position I wanted (with the front entrance of the museum and the aisle) require to be in a shaded part so I was having difficulty adjusting the settings and did not wanted to use external flash so it was quite challenging for me back then!

Equipment

My beloved Nikon D5100 and 200mm Nikor lens

Inspiration

This is a really good question, my cousin (the model on this image) loves valet and I love photography so on a family gathering we started to talk and review several images of urban valet on IG and decided we should try it one time, so time passed and I kept studying and one day that we had a time off we decided to go and do a small shoot to experiment, she has nice legs and while she was worming up for the shoot I got the idea of taking the picture form the waist down with the aisle and the main entrance of the museum on the back ground, she thought it was a good idea and she came out with the pose for this image!

Editing

The post processing is very minimum, I crop it a bit and made it BW, other than that it was not much to it, not because is great, but it's because I don't know much about PS!

In my camera bag

Back then I had my beloved Nikon D5100, unfortunately I had to sell it so I could buy my new love, the Nikon D7200! 50mm lens 200mm lens 55-180mm lens

Feedback

I'm not sure I'm in a position to give any advise, the only thing I can say is have fun and don't be afraid of experimenting new things, just because nobody has done this or that does not mean it does not work!
