Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my friends living room! It was when I was first starting out and didn’t have much for equipment so we pinned a sheet up behind her as the back drop!Time
This photo was taken in the afternoon when the light was nice and bright.Lighting
I love using window light. That time of day, the light was coming in beautifully in the living room.Equipment
My first camera was a 50D and the lens I was using was a telephoto lens. I have upgraded my equipment since that shoot but that 50D is a work horse and I still have it!Inspiration
It was my friends daughters first Birthday so she wanted some photos to celebrate the day.Editing
I used Photoshop to convert it black and white, get rid of any distractions in the background and adjust brightness and contrast.In my camera bag
I am a pretty minimalist photographer. I use a Canon 6D Mark II with a 24-70 mm zoom lens. My next purchase I am hoping for an 85mm lens.Feedback
I just made sure the lighting was even on her and let her do her thing capturing what she was doing to document her.
