Portrait of one of the fine masquerades in a typical Venetian carnival.

I had a quantity of fruits that begged to be made into a still life picure before being consumed!

Dreamy portrait of a lovely ballerina shot in studio.

A Venetian mask, some Acacia flowers in a glass of water, and a string of pearls were used to put together this image inspired by 'Vanitas'

So someone asked me to do a self portrait. I was a little concerned, reason being that I'd rather be on the right side of the lens anytime, meaning th

Sometimes there is nothing quite like being bored to make one try one's hand (foot?), at doing something a little bit different.....

I love still life photography. Sometimes I like to keep it simple. As in this rustic still life of a terracotta jug and garlic.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Pisa, Italy.

Time

It was shot late morning on a Sunny October day.

Lighting

Lighting was ambient so 'as found'. It was a sunny day and I made sure to hide the sun so as not to get flare.

Equipment

I used my canon mark d with its kit lens the 24-105 l lens.

Inspiration

One cannot go to Pisa without photographing the leaning tower. It is photographed countless of times daily by photographers from all over the world. I wanted to capture something a little bit different but still let the structure be recognizable.

Editing

I turned the image into black and white. I dodged and burned until I was satisfied with the result.

In my camera bag

Nowadays my camera canon d mark 2 and possibly either the kit lens mentioned above or some other lens depending on what I will be shooting. These days I try to not take a bag but chuck everything in my photographer's jacket. I cannot stand carrying a backpack anymore.

Feedback

Try to give your own interpretation to any image, in particular to something that has been photographed so many times that it can turn into a cliche.
