Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in downtown Cary, North Carolina.

Time

I took this photo around the "golden hour."

Lighting

The time of day didn't matter too much lighting wise, as we were in a fairly dark alley!

Equipment

I shot this with my backup body, a Canon 50D, and a simple kit lens since I had left my wide angle at home. Just goes to show to bring all your gear no matter what you think you're shooting that day.

Inspiration

We were shooting vintage fashion this day, and when I saw this fire escape, one of my models and I made eye contact and she knew what she had to do. She shimmied right up the ladder, heels and all!, and we got a great shot. The fire escape really inspired this photo.

Editing

I post process everything in Lightroom, and then move everything over to Photoshop for skin adjustments, etc.

In my camera bag

I usually have 2 camera bodies, a Canon Mark III and my backup 50D, multiple lenses-wide angles, primes, and telephotos, a speedlight, and some snacks and chapstick.

Feedback

BE CAREFUL haha. I wouldn't exactly recommend doing this, as it's probably, if not totally illegal, at least frowned upon. And a bit dangerous.
