Behind The Lens
Location
I took this Photo is my favorite room at work. I am a Nanny for one child. He was napping and I was sitting in the "sun room," as I call it, just relaxing and enjoying the warmth of the sun as it poured in through the glass windows. I love this room because it gives inspiration and time to think, reflect, and pray.Time
It was early in the afternoon, around 1 or 2 pm. The sun was perfect! The way is was flowing into the room filling it with light and warmth! It was spectacular; perfect time for a photo.Lighting
I was looking out the window with my nose almost touching the glass. In a mysterious but peaceful way. I wanted the viewer to ask themselves "What is she looking at?" or "What is she looking for?" It looks like I was deep in thought and I wanted that to be portrayed, almost like I had found the answer to a question that I've been asking for a while. The light hits my face in such a way that it gives you that feeling that I have found something I've been looking for. The light in that moment was the answer to my question.Equipment
I took that photo with my Cell Phone camera.Inspiration
I have been thinking a lot lately about life. How I am happy in life but deep in my soul I feel a calling to be doing something more than I am, bigger than what I'm doing now. That day I felt inspired. I felt a feeling of contentment and peacefulness in my soul. I felt a feeling of pure joy and happiness because I knew in that moment I am on my path that God has laid out for me. With the warmth and brightness the sun was giving off, it felt like I was looking into the light of God.Editing
No.In my camera bag
I am a new up and coming photographer that is in the process of getting the things I need in order to pursue photography on a new level. As of right now, I use my phone to capture the images I see that I feel are moments that shouldn't be forgotten and portray the feelings of the moment itself.Feedback
The advice I think is important is to capture something that makes you feel something in your soul. Whether that feeling is love, beauty, awe, pureness, solitude, peacefulness, sadness, humbleness, adventurous, God....anything that you feel will show through your photo to another and touch them in a way that makes them feel the same. Photos portray your feeling in that moment.
