Location
This was taken in our study at home because it's the only room with venetian blinds. It's quite a dark room for most of the day but in the afternoon, when the sun comes around, the stripe effect from the blinds is at its best, so I stood my daughter in front of the wall where I'd noticed the patterns s they landed on her face.Time
It was about 4pm, the sun had come around to the wets side of the house and was shining nicely through the window to give a strong stripy effect through the blinds.Lighting
It's just natural light coming in through the window.Equipment
This was taken with a Canon 5d mark 3 and the 24-105mm lensInspiration
Having noticed the strong patterns on the wall. I thought it would make an effective portrait with my daughter's face and lining the stripes so that her eyes featured.Editing
I boosted contrast and saturation on the eyes.In my camera bag
Because the camera is really heavy, I only take the 24-105 lens and a 75 -300 zoom with me.Feedback
For creating patterns with natural light, I noted when the light shone through the window for the most pleasing patterns, and lined up the shot to be taken at that time.
