Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in an outdoor mall against a black marble wall.

Time

We had just eaten lunch when I noticed the wall and had my daughter pose in front of it.

Lighting

The wall was Dow stairs, and the outdoor mall had wonderful ambient light that filtered onto the wall like a natural studio.

Equipment

This photo was shot on an iPhoneX.

Inspiration

My daughter was a Senior and I had been having my eyes out for interesting backgrounds to take her Senior photos at. I got more then I expected out of the wall.

Editing

Even though I had taken the photo in color, there is something mesmerizing to me about B&W photography.

In my camera bag

I always have my (upgraded) iPhone on me in addition to my Canon Rebel T5. I find both can serve different but similar needs and pick up different lighting out of each.

Feedback

Lighting is so important, and sometimes you have to get creative and look at all surfaces as a potential background. You never know which storefront can be your favorite backdrop!
