Behind The Lens

Location

i captured this during a Japanese-Cambodian modern dance experimentation residence a couple of years ago in Phnom Penh

Time

it was an indoor show evening time

Lighting

however it is a B&W picture the show was about modern choreography with light painting as well directly on the performers, making the shooting a bit challenging

Equipment

just a canon 5D II with a fix 50 mm lens , no flash no tripod , just me pretty study looking for the right capture

Inspiration

i love modern dance and capturing singular and unusual movements, it renders the beauty of human body and sometimes his soul when the capture is right

Editing

almost none, just black&white process on the raw shoot and a bit of play with the contrast

In my camera bag

nowadays, as i shoot a lot of behind the scenes for the cinema or tv shows, i usually carry 2 bodies: canon 5D III with a 16/35 and a 70/300 , in case of need a spar 85 mm for specific portraits.

Feedback

finding the right show , learn a bit about the performers background, trying to see on screen formers performances to understand the mood and the type of light ( to prepare your equipment) find yourself the best spot for the shooting and a lot of patience. A good way also if you are close to the artist team is to shoot during the final rehearsal before the public performance, like that you can find your way without the public trouble.
