Behind The Lens

Location

In Jordan. This was a portrait of one of the girls who's parents sells stuff to the tourists. She wanted a banana from me, and she then took my sun tan lotion...hahaha.

Time

Is was late afternoon, but I took it in the shade.

Lighting

Natural light. Used a f1.4 lens from Sigma, I think it was the 35mm.

Equipment

Nikon d750 with Sigma 35mm f1.4

Inspiration

I love street photography. The raw, real emotions of people in cool places. Their lives and their struggles can be seen in their faces, and I love telling those stories.

Editing

Just a few tweaks in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Now I have a Nikon d750 with Nikon 27-70mm f2.8 and Nikon 85mm f1.4

Feedback

Find your own style and stick to it. Capture the way you want to capture and tell stories. Photos are your canvas and you are in control, don't let anyone tell you otherwise or think that your style isn't beautiful. Go out there and shoot!
