Behind The Lens
Location
Picture taken at a rehearsal during the stretch. This was in Slutsk, Belarus.Time
It was a beautiful sunny summer day. Approximately 14-15 hours of the dayLighting
Shining the summer sun, but slightly cloudy allowed to create a magical light, eliminating the various relight, making it possible to identify individual objects, without the need for any additional secrets.Equipment
The frame was made without the aid of any Photo accessories, whether a tripod, flash, reflectors. Everything was created by the atmosphere and the natural light. It took only a camera, a model, a photographer in the right place at the right time.Cannon 5D Mark II and my lovely lens 85 mm.Inspiration
Model - Kate, my old friend, my partner on the dance duo, at a time when I had danced himself. The fact that I am a professional dancer, I think it gave me a vision of a different dance. I believe that in our time, many of those who photographed the dancers do it the same type and banal, unfortunately. How can this be changed? Start dancing. This will open the world of magic in the dance and will be much more interesting to do later photos. You will see a vision of the image inside, and not only its outer shell.Editing
Post-production was simple, I just took a photo of a black and white, with a small game contrast, noise.In my camera bag
Recently, my standard set in the bag are: Cannon 5D Mark 2 camera, lenses 85 mm and 24-105 mm, flash, tripod with a few exceptions. Previously it carried a lot more equipment, but then I realized that a good picture is not so much the amount of equipment, but how do you see, know and are able to see the view and make the shot.Feedback
The recommendation may be simple and only one. Shoot. Shoot more. Even more. You have planned to photograph a creative activity: dance, fire show, or both? Join a group. Learn the process from the inside. Understand how it works. Then you will be able to see the different perspectives, not just the outer shell of each element, you will understand how and what happens with the artist at a particular moment. This will give you a chance to do more entertaining and sensual frame. Constantly look for angles, watching the work of other photographers, assess, understand how and why they are done, why it is so. Plan, but be prepared for a complete improvisation at a photo shoot. Try different variations of shooting, different lenses, flash, play of light. If you are just starting take pictures and get acquainted with the camera. Go to photo courses. This will speed up your progress. But the most important recommendation - is shooting in manual mode only. All preset modes forget! By the way, I spend individual distance learning photography and retouching. Questions and prices are available for personal messages. Write.
