Such a lovely image. The tea, the rose, the empty chair leaning on the table, makes the viewer wonder why such a beautiful woman is having tea alone...

I love the tension of anticipation this photo creates . . . makes me want to look down the street to see if whoever she's waiting for is in view . . . great composition!

She looks to be in a very reflective mood. One cup of tea the tilted second chair indicates a broken romance. Very well done.

I like this because the chair is propped up as if hope that she would be joined has faded. If the chair had been just standing there like usual, there would be no implied story. Was this your intention?

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken just outside of my home where my parents drink their coffee on regular basics.

Time

Um, I think it was afternoon, after the lunch time and I was so crazy with autoportraits those days. haha

Lighting

The lighting there is always awesome so I just waited for a perfect moment without sunshine.

Equipment

Oh, It was my first "idiot" camera Sony DSC S650 and I still just can't believe that this photo was made by that small camera.

Inspiration

Being alone all the time and my search for true love.

Editing

Yes but it was very simple, nothing much... Little bit of contrast and darkening the colours :)

In my camera bag

Now, I have my 5dMark3 with Sigma 35mm f/1.4 whenever I go somewhere... I don't usually bring any other lens unless I am working as a wedding photographer...then I bring my whole equipment haha :D

Feedback

Just relax and shoot yourself in what do you feel the most comfortable with. :)
