Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles.Time
About two O'clock.Lighting
This lighting was just perfect for where we were. I wanted to make sure we got all of the background into the picture and of course make her the focus. The lighting was perfect for it allEquipment
I used a Nikon D5500 for this picture along with my 18-200mm Nikkor lens.Inspiration
We were actually just walking around doing some filming for a video that we were working on for a play. But, we had planned to do a photoshoot since we were already in downtown, but weren't really sure where to go. As we were walking around we stumbled across this spot, and knew it was our spot. We ended up getting a lot of good shots out there.Editing
Really, there wasn't too much in post. I took it to photoshop and added a little brightness and contrast, but that's it.In my camera bag
Shoot, a couple of things. I keep my 18-200mm lens, which is good for a lit of different pictures. I keep my 50mm prime. Wireless adapter for my other camera. Lens wipes. Tripod. Battery charger. Pretty much whatever I need. Sometimes more than one camera if I know I will need it.Feedback
Man, just have fun with it. It's more than just a picture. Someone will one day hold your picture of their loved one and cherish it. You're not just taking a picture, you're helping to create memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. Memories that will be shown to people in a hundred years!
