Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken in a studio as part of my final portfolio for my studio class

Time

Was taken in the evening

Lighting

The lighting used was a a single par 38 spotlight positioned behind and slightly above the lizard. Used a handheld reflector to fill in the shadows in front.

Equipment

This was shot using a Nikon D7200 with 105 mm lens

Inspiration

The photo was taken as part of a final assignment for my studio class. I was the only wildlife photographer in the class and wanted to show my professor that I could apply what he taught me to my field.

Editing

There was only basic post processing. Some tonal corrections and sharpening in Lightroom

In my camera bag

At the time the image was taken I had a Nikon D7200 Nikon 18-55 mm kit lens, and a 105mm macro lens, youngno speed light

Feedback

If photographing a reptile in a studio have a second person there. Just in case the animal decides to make a run for it.
