Location
This photograph was taken outdoors around the grounds of my home Halloween is my favourite time of year, you can get so creative!Time
This was taken mid afternoon on a sunny day im a natural light photographer mostly especially outdoors and as I wanted the images on the darker side I looked for lots of darker surroundings shelted from the harsh sun bit still enough light to get the right atmosphere for the imageLighting
I knew I wanted my images to be on the darker side to set the atmosphere and draw attention to my subject in this case my son as pennywise. I shoot natural light outdoors and I knew I would be shooting in darker areas so I opted for an overcast day, still bright but no harsh lighting falling on to the trees which would have taken away from the look I wanted.Equipment
Shot with my canon 6d with 70-200mm no other equipment was involvedInspiration
Halloween is my favourite time of year you can get so creative, for this my son wanted to dress up as pennywise for Halloween so I decided to make the most of the situation and do a style photoshoot with him.Editing
Most of the work for this image was done in camera the make up was done by a friend the finer details where edited in photoshop mainly just colour grading.In my camera bag
My main equipment is usually my canon 5dsr and my sigma 70-200mm and my canon 100-400mmFeedback
For me location is of great importance I like to scout around my local area for unique settings that will add to the impact of a particular image you have in mind.
