Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was take in my Lounge Room. I was watching my Daughter Anaïs playing pretending to be a Jedi Knight with an old blanket. I couldn't help myself. I had to commemorate the moment. I asked her to pose for me and we tried different poses this is one of my favourites

Time

Mid morning, my house is white.... As in all white. Literally. I have trouble seeing now, so I painted every surface inside and out. Including our fences, not realising that it would affect the ambient light inside the house. I have semi opaque sheers in all the windows. It has created the most beautiful lighting conditions I have ever experienced inside a building.

Lighting

The ambient light inside my home is so special. It's all encompassing. Diffused by Sheer curtains and yet clear and bright. It feels like God's reception room.

Equipment

I am an amateur. Completely self taught. I am using an iPhone 6+. That's it. The photo has no filters and has not been photoshopped.

Inspiration

My Daughter Anaïs is the most imaginative child. With a flair for the dramatic. When she plays she means it. She is fully immersed in her characters. It is fascinating to watch.

Editing

No not at all

In my camera bag

I am unable to afford any equipment at present and so I relied heavily on my iPhone

Feedback

I say watch children play. Don't interfere, be quiet and really listen. Let their imaginary personas be. Encourage them to fully accept that part of themselves. Be patient, let them trust you. Then you will see their inner world. They will slowly reveal it to you. It is a privalige
