Behind The Lens

Location

I took this in my back yard. The leaf was from a tree on the side of my home. I was fascinated by how big it was and wanted to include it in a portrait of my son.

Time

This was shot during the golden hour, about an hour before sunset when the light was soft.

Lighting

This was taken in all-natural light.

Equipment

I shot this with my Canon 5DSr and my Canon 85mm 1.2 lens. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

The large leaves on the tree. I looked at them one day and thought, those leaves are twice the size of my kid's head. Instant inspiration.

Editing

Yes. I tweaked color and contrast in photoshop. I wanted to give this a movie-poster look and so I played with matching the greens to add a more graphic element to the edit.

In my camera bag

Canon 5Dsr, Canon 85mm 1.2 and 70-200mm 2.8 lenses, Tamron 24-70mm 2.8 lens.

Feedback

I'd recommend shooting around the same time of day and trying the actions I make to make photoshop easier (www.jessicadrossin.com/store).
