I have severe anxiety and find it difficult to explore photography, especially when it comes to social interaction. I was able, for the first time eve

This was a part of a personal challenge following a set theme. The image is supposed to invoke a sense if mystery, wonder and depth, among other thing

I've always liked the idea of wildlife photography but for a long time didn't have much of an opportunity to pursue. This was a visit to Tat

Art painted on to a wall in Liverpool City. I edited this to make them look silvery grey.

Waited until it went dark to catch various images like this one.

Behind The Lens

Location

This image was actually taken at home in my living room.

Time

I never used any natural lighting, but some time in the evening.

Lighting

I positioned an LED panel in front and two dome shaped RGB lights either side of the subject and slightly ahead. Maybe around a 25 degree angle.

Equipment

I used a tripod, 24-70mm lens, a set of 3 lights (two RGB with alternate colour choices and a white LED panel light) and a miniature studio with black backdrop.

Inspiration

I love playing with artificial light, especially when I can play with the colour and using a still model, I thought this was a perfect opportunity to experiment and see what I could come up with. I tried to make it dramatic with the use of the lighting and colour choice.

Editing

I modified the colours somewhat and added a modest amount of clarity, along with fixing the overall brightness of the image.

In my camera bag

Lenses, spare batteries, tripod, lens hoods, variable filter and speedlite.

Feedback

Take your time, have fun and experiment with different uses of light to help catch the type of drama you want to put across in to the image. Don’t be afraid of artificial lighting, you don’t need expensive studio lighting to achieve anything I’ve captured in my image, even just a cheap set or two of lights can change the game for you.
