Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a walk with some friends of mine in Bloemfontein. I was visiting them and getting to know where they are from.

Time

This is probably my favorite time of day to take pictures. I feel like the photos I take between 3 and 4pm have a certain character that brings them to life.

Lighting

I love natural light and the way it can change the mood of an object depending on the time of day.

Equipment

I shot this one in my Samsung S3 cellphone.

Inspiration

We were having a conversation about how all people are somehow connected (7 degrees of separation) and in that context I saw that these powerlines connect us all in a way we don't think of. Not only do they provide electricity but also a connection to the world beyond what we are used to everyday.

Editing

I usually adjust the saturation of my photos to match what my natural eye saw in the moment where I took the picture.

In my camera bag

I use my cellphone a lot as it's portable and I can take it anywhere.

Feedback

The pictures you take are an extention of who you are in that moment. Do not hesitate to look for objects and subjects that are out of the ordinary. Let the light direct which angle you are shooting from and also the mood you are trying to capture.
