Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in the gardens of a retirement home in Johannesburg, South Africa.Time
The photo was taken in the morning just before lunch.Lighting
It was a perfect day for natural light- overcast skies alway give lovely soft lighting.Equipment
I use my Canon 600D with a kit lens.Inspiration
It was my friend's father's 90th birthday. She wanted an image that would tell a love story- of a 70 year romanceEditing
I desaturated as I felt that black and white would work really well, and increased the contrast a bit to bring out the detailIn my camera bag
My Canon of course, my kit lenses that need to be upgraded, and sometimes my Sigma 150-600Feedback
Take lots of photos. Remove anything that doesn't belong. Don't be afraid of showing wrinkles and age spots because those are earned and tell thir own story
