Behind The Lens

Location

Photo made on the centenary and beautiful Caldas da Rainha Park - Portugal.

Time

On a rainy and grey afternoon.

Lighting

Shadows light of a day without sunshine. A beautiful rainy day mood.

Equipment

Canon Mark II + 24-70mm lens. No flash and no tripod.

Inspiration

It was a rainy day and the people sought for shelter at home. I decided to do the opposite and walk on the streets hoping to discover new miracles. Randomly I walked into my city park. The moment of revelation came when I found my own reflection between the shadows of the garden. Like the atmosphere from a "film noir".

Editing

Lightroom + Photoshop.

In my camera bag

Canon Mark III + Canon 5DRS + 11-24mm lens + 24-70mm lens.

Feedback

Always walk with a camera, walk a lot, and enjoy the sense of chance. The daily miracles are waiting for you. A rainy day will bring a lot of new opportunities. Live photography with a passion - without restrictions- and stay focused on each image you are doing. After looking once, go back and look again. Visit the same sites and try to discover new opportunities Patience is a key. To build your own style takes a long time. Without denying all the influences that may have – must be genuine. Try to work "out of the box" and shoot each picture as if it were the last. Find inspiration by looking at books with photos of the great Masters- and see many good exhibitions.
