Behind The Lens
Location
It was Valentine's day so I went around looking for the street vendors that were selling red balloons. I ran into this lady in a street on my way home. She cheerfully agreed to pose for the photo.Time
It was mid-afternoon.Lighting
Even though we were under the shade, the day was bright so the sun caught the top most part of the photo up to the body of the lady.Equipment
I just used a mobile phone, a Vivo V7.Inspiration
Several days leading to Valentine’s, I already saw several vendors walking with their balloons and I told myself, I have take a photo of this people. It would be a bonus if I got to talk to them and get their story. In this photo, I got both.Editing
Post-processing work was done in Snapseed app. I converted it to black and white. Did a brightness adjustment and then adjusted the contrast.In my camera bag
I normally just bring my mobile, a Vivo V7 but occasionally I also have my Canon 60D DSLR mounted with a 50mm lens.Feedback
The only advise I can give for street photographers is to shoot and be quick. As soon as you see a possible shot, take it. Sometimes you will see details in the shot you took when you review. So it's important you just shoot a lot and get good at visualizing your shots.
