Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photograpg of my dad on his 97th Birthday after setting up the chess board for him tocontemplate.Time
Early afternoon by available lightLighting
just the ceiling light was on and the window to the right as well as the doodway to the outside behind me.Equipment
I just used my Canon EOS 5D hand held.Inspiration
I was inspired by a photograph that my dad had done of himself in a similar pose in the 1970s that had great success as an exhibition print.Editing
I did minimal post processing on the image other than removing all colour and slightly increasing contrast.In my camera bag
I nowadays carry my Canon 5D Mk IV with a few lenses depending on what I am going to photograsph.Feedback
Having the idea for a particular photograph and, in this case, being able to set it up like you would with a still life means that you have control over the entire process.
