This is the other half of my chaos image! I have so much going on right now that I feel like everything is swirling around me, going by fast and crazy! But I am trying to stay calm among this storm, and this is how this image came about.

Behind The Lens

Location

The image of the sheep was taken beside one of my favourite locations near my house! The image of me and the lantern was taken in my studio!

Time

For the sheep is was evening close to 7 pm, as for myself around 11 am in my studio

Lighting

All of this was done by natural light! I lit the lantern in post processing!

Equipment

Canon 6D, 24-105mm lens, and hand held the sheep image, used my tripod in the studio which is an Oben

Inspiration

I have seen this field with these sheep so many time and I knew I wanted to take a picture of it, I was trying to figure out how I could incorporate myself into the image, and I wanted it to show hope and light in the darkness and this is what I came up with.

Editing

Yes, there wasn't quite as many sheep in the image so I added some more. I wasn't in the main image at all, I shot myself and the lantern in my studio and added them later, I also made it look like night time and lit the lantern in post.

In my camera bag

My main gear I use is my Canon 6D and 24-105mm, I have a 50 mm and 85 mm in my bag as well. Always have my canon remote with me since I do a lot of self-portraits and I will bring my oben tripod a lot of the time as well!

Feedback

Have fun with it! The amazing thing about conceptual or illustrative work is that you can create pretty much anything your imagination comes up with! Make sure your lighting matches and just have fun!! =)
