Behind The Lens

Location

Lake Garda, Italy

Time

I remember going down to Lake Garda with my family, it was the first night I had arrived, as I was at a festival in Amsterdam. It would have been in the evening time, just as the sun was setting behind the mountains.

Lighting

I've always loved solutes in pictures. I knew especially this shot would create that allusion because of the time of day and the sun setting in the distance.

Equipment

The was shot on a Pentax Zoom-70 with Afga Vista 200 film

Inspiration

I always wanted to go to Italy to take photos and as soon I saw the beautiful lakes, I knew I wanted to take photos within my style of capturing, which documentary style.

Editing

I normally like taking documentary style photos, so whatever is in the moment and nothing that looks staged.

In my camera bag

I normally have lots of films at the ready, either Afga Vista 200 or Kodak ColorPlus 200, my Pentax Zoom-70 or Minolta Big Finder.

Feedback

Be visual and fast, and don't be scared to try new things whilst taking photos. Especially with film photos, you don't know what they will turn out until you have them printed. I always look at things for the natural beauty they are, doesn't matter if other people don't think the same!
