Behind The Lens
Location
At home on a sun porch, New England, Eastern United States.Time
This was an afternoon shot. The light is more important when shooting black and white.Lighting
The high key sunlight was crucial to this shot.Equipment
This was shot on a rebel T3 with a 50mm lens, hand held.Inspiration
Portraits to me are most interesting, when they are staged but natural feeling.Editing
There was a black and white conversion with some high key tweaking.In my camera bag
Normally I carry an SLR with a kit lens and often a 50 millimeter portrait lens and a lensbaby.Feedback
To get expressive portraits you need the right expression on the face of the subject. You have to make the subject feel comfortable especially in the context of the natural light semi candid portrait.
