LOL - an interesting concept, and well executed. I just wish the candle was more off-centre.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in a makeshift studio in my kitchen. With the power of duck tape and a few helpers.

Time

Night time with the lights off, this gave me maximum ability to manipulate the light as needed.

Lighting

I use continuous day lighting for the photos, following simple Photoshop steps and blended the two photos. I would say don’t be afraid to experiment and use inspiration from others. Also make sure your makeshift studio is created whilst your family is out of the house.

Equipment

Canon 80D, 24-70mm lens and continues lighting. Photoshop for post edit.

Inspiration

There was a challenge project in a photo magazine that involved all eliminates of the process for making a nice studio and quirky photo.

Editing

Yes I took two photos and then layered them on top of each other, blended the photos after 4 hours it was completed.

In my camera bag

Canon 80 and a 18-125mm with spare SD, Battery, polariser and mini tripod

Feedback

Signup to camera magazines and read any article you can about editing and photography. Take inspiration from other to get some ideas and then just try, try and try again until you get your results.
