Amazing work!!!

See all

Same photographer See all Behind The Lens

This image was part of a series titled "Everybody Hates You," based around the idea that no one can live up to the standards that media presents.

This is an image for my new series Cleanse

This image was part of a photo book I created titled Everybody hates you.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken in my college apartment during my junior year. I always had my camera out when I was sitting in the apartment because I never knew when my roommates would do something wild.

Time

I loved tell whole roll that I took during this night but this image was one of my favorites. I was taking during a night time party we were having with all my roommates.

Lighting

The lighting was just regular florescent lights in a university apartment.

Equipment

I shot this on a Canon AE-1, with a 50mm lense, using 35mm film.

Inspiration

I always love taking portraits and when people know you have a camera out they usually hide away from the camera so that's why I always had my camera out around my friends. Usually I didn't take many photographs but it was such a fun night and everyone was just stripping off their clothes trying to cool down I thought this is perfect. I love this candid portrait because even when everything was crazy you can see how calm she was in the moment.

Editing

I didn't do much altering with this image, I mostly just increased the contrast to make the darks completely black.

In my camera bag

I usually keep some lense filters, my other lenses, extra film, a lighter, extra batteries, and two cameras out of my many.

Feedback

Always keep a camera with you because of a perfect image shows up you don't want to miss it. Because I always had my camera people became more comfortable with me just wearing it and when the perfect composition showed up I didn't have to scramble to find/grab my camera it was right there.
