Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture in Udaipur _ indiaTime
It was in the afternoon (4 jenuary 2015, 16.42 pm ), I was wandering aimlessly. I wanted to know a people unknown to me. It was my first time in india.Lighting
It was a sunny day and the light was too high in the Street where I met this man. I correct the exposition before shooting .Equipment
In this case I use nikon 7100 with 55/300 lens. I try not to be seen during shooting, I do not want the subject loses the naturalness. After shooting I show the picture to the unaware subject and I try to get in in touch with him. Not so easy sometimes.Inspiration
His face is amazing, so strong! I love art and problably old paintings inspire me to create the same mood.Editing
I use Photoshop CC, I create my own textures . I applied one of textures and I blurred the most part of the picture to esaltate the face. I respected the point of origin of the light. I never use the same actions for my pictures, everytime is different and it's always the inspiration of the moment that guide me to create someting original.In my camera bag
Normally I travel with cameras ( nikon d7100 , nikon d800 ), 3 lens ( 55/300 - 18/105 - 50 ), 1 tripod, filters...Feedback
I'm not a common photographer, I know. What i can suggest is to be creative. In photography there are rules but sometimes breaking them is the right choice. Be yourself, always
