This photo was taken at my house, North England. I am amateur photographer but I would like in the future as professionTime
The photo was taken one sunny morning when i was playing with my daughter. I put a blanket on top of the bed and she would not stop moving at first. The moment she stopped for literally 2 seconds, i took some photos. This is what i selected from those shotsLighting
The light was natural that came from her right side from the window. The photo was taken a bit overexposed for later editing so I got those crystal eyes and a darker background.Equipment
At that time I had a Nikon D3200 which I still have because I love it and it is very light weight and good quality in DX format. Now I work with Nikon 750D with which I'm learning every day. I use a 35mm lens F1.8 ISO: 1600 Shutter Speed: 1/80 Focal Length: 35/1Inspiration
The inspiration of this photo is my own daughter. I want to leave beautiful memories of her younger years, and also wanted to make a photo look like vintage style.Editing
After taking the picture, the post process was... Lower the exposure and clarify shadows, sharpen eyes a little, soften the face a little, a little blurry around the her and I changed the tone of the picture to get that vintage effect.In my camera bag

My best advice to take a picture like this is being fast because the models of this age are very restless and you only get a few opportunities!
