Behind The Lens
Location
Photo was taken downtown Porto, Portugal. It is a bookshop called Lello.Time
tried to make the best out of the available natural light, at late morning hours, around 11a.m.Lighting
all natural.Equipment
Just the camera and a 12mm manual F2 samyang lens.Inspiration
This staircase is stunning, but this is such a famous touristic stop that it is quite hard to isolate a subject. I've gone to lello many times and i've never taken another shot like this. It was just the right human element to the location and the outfit was a perfect match !Editing
a little color toning and denoising because it was shot at ISO 1600In my camera bag
Xt1 + 16-55 + samyang 12mm + 55-200mmFeedback
