Behind The Lens

Location

I love taking photographs of strangers. This was taken at Al Ain Camel market.

Time

I visited the market in the morning but it feels like noon. This was taken around 9 in the morning

Lighting

Since the market is open and harsh light is everywhere, I shot this straight where he seated. But I waited that he will make some facial expression.

Equipment

This was shot on Canon 5D Mark 3 with 24-105mm f4. Handheld and natural light.

Inspiration

People and the culture as always.

Editing

I do minimal adjustment for this one. Playing the shadows and highlights in Photoshop.

In my camera bag

Canon 5D mark 3. But I use mostly my phone now.

Feedback

Capturing portraits with a stranger is difficult if you don't know how to communicate. Start with a smile and short talk. Then ask then if you can photograph them or not. If not, say thank you and proceed to the next stranger you want to photograph.
