Behind The Lens

Location

I shot The Hands in my studio in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Time

The afternoon.

Lighting

I used three lights to light Dana, the cellist. The main light is an Alien Bee 400 that is hand held on a pole just over the frame. You can see the BTS and hear Dana's music here https://youtu.be/CBhpVfleMP0

Equipment

Canon 5DII and 3x Alien Bee 400

Inspiration

Dana did! He's a two Grammy Award winning cellist.

Editing

Normal black and white editing and then some added textures to accent the hands. You can see my entire edit in the YouTube video linked in the previous question.

In my camera bag

Canon 5DII and 24-70 Tamron Lens. That's it!
