Location
I took this photo in the beautiful woods of Malahide Castle, Co Dublin, IrelandTime
It was around three o clock in the afternoonLighting
The light was soft as it peeked through the treesEquipment
I used a Canon 6D for this shot with a 24 to 125mm lensInspiration
Children and animals inspire me most, I love the natural way they interact with each otherEditing
I did some work on this photo in photoshop to enhance the moodIn my camera bag
I own one camera, Canon 6D that is all I use with a 21 to 105mm lensFeedback
You need to keep your subjects calm and relaxed especially when working with children and animals, keep some small treats for both as rewards for their hard work too, both my subjects here were wonderful to work with, I really enjoy working with children and animals, it can be a very uplifting experience and always does my heart good. I have worked with many big name celebrities over the years, my first job was working in the music business but this is my favorite type of photography now and I find it inspires others and brings a smile to their day and can trigger their own childhood memories
