Behind The Lens
Location
The photo has been taken in a local forest just outside the city of Sofia, Bulgaria.Time
It was a warm afternoon, about 4-5pm.Lighting
I used a single softbox on the left to illuminate the girl.Equipment
The photo has been shot on a Canon 40D with a 17-55 f/2.8 lens.Inspiration
I like the simplicity of mundane situations photographed under great lighting conditions. That's what most painters did in the old and modern times. That's what inspires me to make such photographs.Editing
The post processing is basic contrast and dodging and burning the highlights and shadows, respectively.In my camera bag
The lighting is the most important thing to me, so lighting is the biggest thing in my luggage. I prefer to use a zoom lens. I don't like to swich lenses. I still use a crop-sensor camera (I'm a pro).Feedback
Get the technical part down and then think about ideas and make them a reality. Don't just take many photos. Take one or two, but make sure you know what you're doing.
