Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Northampton beside a wall of graffiti I discovered behind a retail parkTime
This was taken at about 4pmLighting
I exposed the shot for the graffiti then used a bare bulb flash on the floor to the left to add some light to the modelEquipment
Nikon d3100 with a tamron 18-200 lens, the flash is a yongnuo yn-460 (cheap and cheerful!)Inspiration
The model wanted some photos to use on Facebook and wanted something "different" seeing this graffiti offered the perfect opportunity.Editing
This image is heavily processed(obviously), I desaturated the graffiti then added a colour layer, ten used a sandstone texture over the top... Lastly I was sent an image of a meteor and put it in for a laugh...surprisingly the model loved it saying it was almost end of world,ishIn my camera bag

Even when I'm in a specific location for a shoot I will always go for a walk after and 9 times out of 10 there's somewhere interesting I wouldn't have noticed before and most importantly take your kit everywhere as you never know when an opportunity will present itself
