Behind The Lens

Location

Firstly, thank you. I'm honored and feel humbled by the attention. I took this in my home with a two-year-old under foot. My model was antsy; so I had to make it quick. This was one of two shots I got off.

Time

5 pm

Lighting

I used natural lighting, northern exposure shining through a glass door and a white 24x36 piece of foam-core board to reflect.

Equipment

I hand-held my Nikon D7000 with my 50mm lens. Nothing fancy.

Inspiration

Why, Elvis, of course.

Editing

I did use Photoshop (to enlarge) the Madonna pin, it was smaller than the other two.

In my camera bag

Extra battery, a good array of lens and filters, a flashlight, a wish, hope, and a dream or two.

Feedback

Study and learn from the masters, but do what works for your own style. A photograph is a blank canvas, approach it like you would a work of art and not a mathematical equation. Everything has been done already; so blur the lines and mix it up--and have some fun with it.
