Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my studio apartment in New York. I am a photography student and was trying out side-lighting techniques blending it with self-portraits.

Time

This was shot at what photography lovers call the 'golden hour', which is between 4pm and 5pm. The light at this time is really gorgeous and gives glamourous end results.

Lighting

Side lighting is great and lighting in general is fun as there is so much one can depict through it.

Equipment

Nikon D810, Lens 16-35 and a barn light

Inspiration

I love fashion and mystery. There was an advertisiment I had seen in a magazine once which was on these lines and wanted to try it for myself too.

Editing

Yes everyone does. i use Photoshop and just to balance out the contrast and brightness. Nothing else.

In my camera bag

It is about the eye behind the camera that creates the image not the equipment. I always have my Nikon D810 and yes my Iphone

Feedback

Keep it original. Have fun with lighting and try to mix concepts when you shoot.
