Music creates in us a sense of joy. This picture captures that. The model is a musician.

Taken in Langa township in South Africa. Poor but proud.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in my kitchen where my bounce flash works well on the white walls and ceiling. I used a high f stop to ensure good depth of field. A simple piece of white card and my wife's lipstick. :)

Time

Early morning I was thinking of photo subject for the day and I came across the lipstick. Loved the color and thought of using it as a pen.

Lighting

Used bounce flash in my kitchen which is totally white. Cranked the f stop to around 16 or more.

Equipment

I used a Canon 5D Mark 11 with on camera Canon speed light in bounce mode.

Inspiration

The lipstick is some associated with love and I thought the word written using the lipstick would be a good combo

Editing

Just the normal contrast and saturation tweaks.

In my camera bag

A Canon 6d currently with 50 mm prime f1. 4, 24 - 74 zoom and a 80 - 300 zoom lens.
