Behind The Lens
Location
The "Potter" photo was shot in the city of Agra,India.Time
Walking around in the early hours of the day,an old man stopped me and asked me to come into his home. He turned out to be the master potter,who provides for his family of eight.Lighting
In the antechamber the light was coming from the ceiling,but the brick walls really reflected the light and created the whole atmosphere,I was looking for.Equipment
I used my Canon 50 D and EF-S10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and made a seris of photos, representing the creation of a clay vessel.Inspiration
I feel that India is the perfect place,for shooting real life, primary shots, which are rare to find in the modern "perfect" world. The hands of the potter represent his ideal world,which is way different and more valuable than ours.Editing
I mostly use Photoshop,so the photo has just the basic processing - convertion in black and white and some contrast touches.In my camera bag
Water. :) ...and ..... I always bring with me my: Canon EOS 50D, Canon EF 70-200mm/1.4 L USM; Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens, Canon EF-S 10-22/3.5-4.5 USM Lens, My favorite is Leica DIGILUX 3 7.5MP Digital SLR Camera with Leica D14-50mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH LensFeedback
Use your imagination and do NOT oblige any photographic rules...
