Location
I took this photo on the Playa El Yaque on Margarita Island, Venezuela. This old woman walked up and down the beach every day selling hats. I saw her do this for at least 10 years in the intense heat. Her face says it all.Time
Time of day was afternoon, about 4 pm.Lighting
I filled in the background with a filter so that she would stand out, in a kind of liminal space.Equipment
This was shot with my Canon 20D, 18-55 mm lens.Inspiration
The hat seller was from a different time, but surviving here, now. Her face spoke to me of resilience.Editing
Just the photoshop filter I addedIn my camera bag
Now I use a Canon 7DFeedback
Just go with your gut, follow that.
