Behind The Lens

Location

As I dressed my model up and put coke-a-cola cans in her hair,We made a short Journey to a empty wheat field behind my house In Nampa Idaho!

Time

This picture was taken on a crisp autumn day as soon as the sun had fully filled the sky we played around with the lighting to get it just right and eventually it was perfect! Took this picture around 1:30pm!!

Lighting

The lighting was tricky when trying to compose this picture! But soon it was just right and the sun hit her face just how I had envisioned it !

Equipment

This photo was take. With a Nikon D3100 with an 55-200mm f/5.6 lens. No other equipment was involved!

Inspiration

This picture was inspired by a 1971 add in the Sarasota Herald Tribune entitled "for the sake of glamour" where empty coffee can is used to crawl hair"! instead of using coffee cans i use Coke-a-cola cans and used Bobby pins to keep them in place!!

Editing

Not much processing was put into this photo I darken the contrast and made it black-and-white !!!

In my camera bag

Always have one of my two cameras either my Nikon D 3100 or my Nikon D 700 with either my 55-200mm lens or my 50mm 1.4 lens! Don't shoot with any thing else usually!

Feedback

The best advice I can give is to have your subjects look natural. Super posed pictures look superposed!even though this picture was posed I feel that it gives a sense of character towards her! you want to give all of your subjects character, and personality!
