Location
I took this photo on the street in the downtown area of the small city where I grew up.Time
It was taken outside in the afternoon.Lighting
There was no special equipment used for lighting. It was natural light, outside on the street.Equipment
Canon Rebel, I believe.Inspiration
Ralphie is a local homeless man who I had seen for years around my town. That afternoon I got up the courage to ask him if I could take his photo.Editing
I edited levels and contrast but nothing major was done in post.In my camera bag
These days I mainly carry a Canon 5d mark III, a 50mm 1.4, 70-200 2.8 and a 24-70 2.8.Feedback
If you see something or someone you want to shoot but have reservations, go for it. Find the courage within yourself because it will likely be worth it.
