Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at an abandoned petrol station just on the edge of the Brecon Beacons in Wales, UK

Time

We'd spent most of the afternoon on a shoot in Talgarth Mental Asylum that's been empty for 20 years but we came across this place on our way home at around 4 pm

Lighting

Just natural sunlight used, no flash or anything like that.

Equipment

I used my Canon EOS600D hand held with the standard 18mm - 55mm kit lens. On around 18mm just to try and distort the image slightly.

Inspiration

I've been a long time fan of Zombie films and images and had the opportunity to do this with my wife and one of her friends who kindly offered to make themselves up as zombies for me.

Editing

I did use Photoshop to boost the clarity for more impact from the make up and I also toned down the colours slightly to hopefully give it a more muted look.

In my camera bag

I've normally got my 600D with various memory cards, 2 batteries, 50mm portrait lens, the 18-55mm kit lens, a tamron 50-250mm lens and a sigma 70-300mm lens. Also 2 flashguns.

Feedback

Just find somewhere abandoned,spend some time on the make up and take plenty of shots!
