This photo was taken at my home, in Romania.Time
I think it was at 4 PM or something. I can't remember exactly, 'cause it wasn't planned. It was a selfie taken spontaneously, I loved my look that day, my hair was on fleek *laughs*Lighting
The light was natural, I was standing in front of my bedroom's window. It's my favourite spot in the house, maybe the one with the best light *laughs*Equipment
Camera: 4013X Aperture:28/10 ISO: 100 Focal Length: 350/100 Tripod: my arms (the best tripod in the world *laughs*) Natural lightInspiration
I was looking in the mirror and I noticed a sparkly glance in my eyes, and I remembered that someone told me once that I have this sparkle and perfect skin and long hair 'cause I'm "young and beautiful", but that fades away in time. So I thought about that a lot and it hit me: the song of Lana del Rey "Young and beautiful". It is a truly masterpiece, and I wanted to create something that continues the story of this song in a visually way.Editing
I wanted the picture to be black&white, the color version was not telling the story I was expected.In my camera bag
Usually, I always have my phone and my Cannon D3550 camera, but I want to purchase as soon as possible a DSLR, probably from Nikon.Feedback
My advice for anyone in this area is: if you are going to take a picture, no matter what kind, make sure that it tells a story, a visual one. Ed Sheeran once told in a song: "We keep this love in a photograph/ (...) Where our eyes are never closing, hearts are never broken, time's forever frozen, still." So do this, freeze the time, the people, the story. Make it count, in any way. In that picture, I'll always be "young and beautiful"... And you'll be the same! *winks* Thank you!
