Behind The Lens

Location

I toke this photo at home in the bathroom actually. I was trying to find somewhere in my house where I had something like lighting. The lighting came from my bathroom lap that has movable light fixtures. After getting the light set up I toke the photo.

Time

I love this picture because it came out so great and I was so surprised because I was tired and just trying to test out some techniques that I see on like other photoshoots. I toke this picture on August 12th 2016 at 11:18 PM

Lighting

This photo was used with a regular bathroom lamp which I think shows how amateur I am. But I used the brightest light and put it behind me to make it seem like the sun is behind me. I wanted to make more shadows in my face because I love dark and mysterious photos.

Equipment

I used a bathroom lamp and an android s5 cover camera.

Inspiration

I was binge watching America's Next Top Model and talking to one of my friends that is an inspiring model and I just thought it would be fun to have a photo shoot for myself. This photo just came from that inspiration came from Tyra Banks saying that models should emote with their eyes.

Editing

I just did some editing on exposure and brightness.

In my camera bag

I usually just carry my phone and when I see a good photo in my head I just snap a picture on my phone.

Feedback

I think that it best to have the light behind the subject and not directly behind but either on the right or the left. Take the picture from the opposite side of the light so that there are more shadows on the subject's face. When editing make the shadows more darker, also turn the contrast very high and the saturation high.
