Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at a local park.

Time

Late afternoon/early evening.

Lighting

This is natural light with some adjustments made in Lightroom.

Equipment

Shot with a Canon T3. This was at the beginning of my photography journey so I was just starting out.

Inspiration

This is my best friend Ciara. She had just recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. Over the past 6 years she has also beat brain cancer. Her motto is "Fight like a girl" which is why she chose the pink boxing gloves and cape.

Editing

Back when I first started my photography journey I only used Lightroom. Now I only use Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I carry a Nikon 7100 and a 3200 as a backup. The lenses I carry include a Nikon 35mm 1.8 and a Sigma 70-200 2.8.

Feedback

Discuss your vision beforehand with your subject. When your subject knows what your expectations are beforehand the smoother your session will flow. If they have something that has a special meaning to them find a way to incorporate it into the session.
