Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in the Gulbenkian gardens, in Lisbon. It was just a fun session with some of my best friends. We love to go there and it's perfect for some wild photoshoots.Time
Sincerely, I don't remember. When I'm taking photos, it's like time does not exist. I'm just in the moment.Lighting
I was trying to play with the natural light and I really liked the how it worked, 'cause I think the model has a pretty intense look.Equipment
I just used a Sony A230.Inspiration
We were trying some clothes and Sonia was just looking at us and I saw the cowboy hat and when I looked at her it all clicked, 'cause she remembers me Lara Croft.Editing
Just some basic stuff, like contrast, in pinkmonkey.In my camera bag
I used my Sony A230, but now I have a Olympus Pen Lite EPL-5 and it's not better, but it's smaller and I like it 'cause I can take it to everywhere.Feedback
I really think is very difficult to reproduce a photo like it is with a paint. Honestly I don't even like to reproduce things. I think photography is very personal and I think sometimes the photos are also work of the destiny. I wasn't trying to do this. I was just taking shoots of one of my beloved friends. She's a very smart and, of course, very beautiful young girl and it all clicked, because I was just enjoying the all stuff like her. I think the best photos happen when we are not trying to do a work of art, but we are bonding with the work of art.
