Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in my living room on a stool. I am a self taught photographer, experience and shoot test shoots to learn every day.

Time

It was dawn, but this picture was taken inside.

Lighting

I love to shoot with dramatic lightning. I used a 400W/s studio flash with 47" octabox.

Equipment

The shot was taken with a Nikon D3200, 50mm 1.8 lens. I used DigiCamControl to use tether shooting. Camera on live view to see what I was doing.

Inspiration

I want to take a silly selfir and this was my idea.

Editing

Not much post processing. Some colour, contrast and exposure editing.

In my camera bag

My standard equipment is my new Nikon D7100 with 35mm 1.8 and 50mm 1.8 lens. A tether cable, Pixel trigger set, a Yongnuo YN656 flash and some other gear.

Feedback

The best advice I could give is, be creative, think out of the box a lot and never give up to achieve your goals!!!
