Behind The Lens

Location

On the bottom bunk! ( kids room )

Time

late afternoon

Lighting

Actually yes... It was the first day that I bought my Westcott Icelight and I took a photo of myself to test it out.

Equipment

D800, SIGMA ART 35MM, ICELIGHT , SUBTLE WINDOW LIGHT AS WELL

Inspiration

Trying self portraits but mostly just testing how the light looks on a face!

Editing

photoshop! Toning, sharpening, skin smoothing, dodging , burning.

In my camera bag

2 camera bodies always, 35mm, 85mm, 70-200mm vrii 2.8 and 105 macro. couple of flash units and another backup 35mm lens. gadgets... gum..crayons.

Feedback

Yeah totally! Just go for it. I love creating random images .. unplanned.. You just have a little bit of an idea about what you want and it's all your own. Photos like this are fun too because you can do whatever you want with them
