Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken in the Amsterdam CanalsTime
Just before sunset as the buildings would have blocked to much of the light once the sun started going down.Lighting
It's taken in natural lighting but it's starting to get a bit dark which I believe adds a deeper tone to the photo.Equipment
Taken on a Nikon D5300 with a 50mm lens no other equipment was involved.Inspiration
My subject/friends hair. The canals seemed like the perfect background to add interest to the subject.Editing
Yes, I used Photoshop to enhance the hair. I used curves to bring out the blonde and also used dodge and burn to add depth.In my camera bag
I don't own much equipment and I like to travle light so normally I bring my camera (Nikon D5300). My 18-55mm lens and or my 50mm lens depending on if I'm shooting people or landscapes.Feedback
Hair can be a fascinating subject so find someone - it dosnt have to be someone you know - with enviable hair to shoot with. With blondes especially I would suggest shooting in the golden hour as they catch the light so well. Lastly chose an area to shoot which is not to distracting as you want the focus on the hair.
