Behind The Lens

Location

First of all i thank you for your appreciation. The photo was taken in my friend’s home in Yogyakarta Indonesia. i am a self taught photographer. I like to always look for new ideas about my photography.

Time

I am quite happy with this photo, the photo shoot started around 7 pm to 10 pm on May 05, 2017, there are some scenes I made, one of them this photo. I really enjoy the process.

Lighting

I want to make a photo looks simple, mysterious, and attention-grabbing, for it needed a concentrated lighting arrangement to adjust the concept that I have created, I want the head of a person who wrapped in a newspaper that looks prominent. Basically i use four lighting set up. The top front as main light, two light for rim light, and 1 speedlight for the background. Actually i use cheap speedlight.

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon D800, with a 85 mm f/1.8 fix lens. Tripod and four speed light. I use white umbrella as a difuser on main light.

Inspiration

This photo idea is inspired by the brutality of information development. Apparently with the development of science and technology human beings are no longer required to go any where to become an avonturier. Especially if you just want to know how the score of football matches in Europe, or witnessed the bloody conflict in Syria, then at this time, people just enough with a click, any desired news will come abundantly. Even without being invited even though the abundant information is like competing presenting various content. The mass media are fighting for influence by continuously stuffing everyday human life with various information offerings. They jostle each other to enter the public space by raising the news that is sometimes only feasible into private consumption area. Of course it does not happen by chance. There has been a paradigmatic revolution in the world of information presentation. Until now we know the name of the information industry era. So information has become a commodity. But it is not then we are anti and indifferent to the presentation of information. For after all, the content of information is still important, for example to explore our own vision with a lot of reading the vision of others or other characters whose writings we often encounter spread in the world of mass communication. Just to gain insight, and to read opportunities from the various developments and socio-economic dynamics presented in the media information is also very good.

Editing

I do not do too much in post processing, standard only. I shoot in RAW an convert to jpg. Long enough to require attention precisely on setting the place and prop.

In my camera bag

Photography equipment in the bag that I usually carry everywhere is a D800 nikon camera body, 17-35mm f / 2.8 lens, 70-200mm f / 2.8 lens, and 1 speed light.
