Behind The Lens
Location
I took it in my hometown in Nitra, Slovakia. There is this pit nearly in the city centre, where from one side, there are apartment buildings and from the other side there are houses and giant roundabout, so this pit is like a little paradise place-there is a park and these giant rocks...really stunning place to shoot.Time
I think it was in the afternoon. the sun was shining from behind the rocks, but they were high enough not to catch a flare in the lens.Lighting
Its all natural light. There were apartment buildings behind me, so they added a bit of light to this open shade setup.Equipment
I use Canon EOS 450D with 50mm f1,4 and I made 6 photos and put them together.Inspiration
Mostly the dress inspired me to add water, because the bottom of the dress has this flowing fabric that, when moving, makes it feel like waves.Editing
Yes, this picture is more conceptual and its more about what is in my head. Plus I dont live near the sea or something, so I needed a lot of post-processing. First of all, I made 6 images and made kind of panorama, rather than one picture. It gives more detail. then I added the water, because originally there is no water. Then just little color correction and some small tweeks and thats it.In my camera bag
Not much. I love shooting in natural light so just a reflector. Then my camera, 50 mm lens and 17-55mm lens. Thats all.Feedback
Experiment. Make a vision in your head before the shoot. Even if you dont feel like you can do it, try! And try to be open minded.
