I took this photo before sunrise on a foggy morning.Lighting
I focused on shading and contrast.Equipment
An open mind. I am constantly seeking simple moments to capture, because there is beauty to be seen everywhere. You may be surprised to know that I took this photo with only my Galaxy S6 edge+. My phone. 99% of the time I have a "real" camera with me, but this morning I did not. But I could not pass up the opportunity for this shot.Inspiration
This was not a photo I had planned to take. Doc (the horse featured in this photo) was rescued as an ex-show horse. Each morning at 4am I would go to the rescue to care for one of the horses I had grown a bond with. Doc was neighbors with the one I cared for, living in the paddock next door. He is absolutely stunning to look at, especially in the early mornings when the sun is just beginning to break through the clouds.Editing
The colors and adjustment in brightness that I used is a mirror of Doc's soft nature. I wanted this photo to look fantasy-like. Similar to a fairytale.In my camera bag
I always carry my Sony 4k video camera. Its slow-motion feature is one I love especially for foggy mornings. Honestly, I am more of a cinematographer than a photographer, but I believe both can tell a story.Feedback
Lighting and camera angles. Both are so important and can change the entire photo. Use natural light to your advantage!
