Behind The Lens
Location
Victoria Market Melbourne Victoria (public place)Time
It was in the middle of the day but within the market environment there was shadeLighting
It was natural lightingEquipment
Olympus EM-1 camera, 75-300mm Olympus lens, no tripod or flash - shutter speed - 1/160 sec.Inspiration
The stallholder struck me as naturally charismatic and he readily engaged with me as a market attendee then photographer.Editing
Slight brightening, sharpening and drawing out a little detail on face plus a little vignetteIn my camera bag
I still use an Olympus EM 1, now a Mark II and my go-to lens tends to be the 18-100mm Olympus Pro given its flexibility. I also carry my Olympus 60mm macro lens with me as well as my Olympus 45mm fixed length lens. I will also sometimes have a tripod at hand in readiness in case needed.Feedback
Photography is certainly not just about gear - it is also about mindfulness, having a curious eye and looking at photographic elements from a different perspective. Engagement with people can obviously be a way of enhancing a portraiture.
