Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in a treed yard. I am mostly a self taught photographer, through books, watching video's, I have taken workshops with somebody whom I admire greatly.

Time

This image was taken on a rainy day mid morning.

Lighting

She was hidden amongst the leaves and I searched for a pocket of light that was beaming through.

Equipment

Nikon D700, with a 70-200 2.8

Inspiration

Her mood was reflective of the rain coming down. I wanted to capture her emotions. There were a hundred thoughts going through her head, my heart was heavy, her heart was heavy, I knew I could peek at her and capture something beautiful.

Editing

I used a few layers on this, used gradient layers, bumped the contrast. Desaturated, bumped up my blacks, greys and whites.

In my camera bag

D700, 70-200 2.8, 50 1.8, 85 1.8, 135 f2DC, reflector.

Feedback

Shoot with emotion.
