Time

This photo was taken in the early evening

Lighting

Natural lighting in a room lit with average lightfittings and candles after Xmas

Equipment

Inspiration

It was a moment of emotions involving two relatives that had not seen one another since the coup détat in Chili where Allende was violently replaced by Pinochet. One stayed and one fled to Europe

No pastprocessing

In my camera bag

Two or three lenses (50mm Canon, 80 mm Tamron protraitlens and a Tamron zoomlens 24-270), a smal tripod and a Canonflash, extra battry for camera and for the flash

Feedback

Do try not to disturb the emotions of the moment (no flash, no directions about posture etc) just observe and feel the right moment for the photo.
