Behind The Lens

Location
The capture was created in my “studio”, which is my kitchen table. This is where I do my setup, when inspiration arrives.
Time
I had been to one of my local flower shops to look for flowers that speak to me, that has grown to have a particular personality, in my eyes. This particular tulip, was given to me by the store, since it had over bloomed and was going to be thrown away. Thankfully, I got my hands on it before. The photo was taken in the evening, being lit by a lamp.
Lighting
Lightening can be a big challenge. It requires a lot of patience sometimes. Moving the object and lighting in many different angels, to get the look that you’re trying to create and for the shadows to fall right.
Equipment
It was actually my first attempt to shoot a flower, which is my favorite subject to shoot, in the dark with my Canon EOS 1300D. My other attempts earlier has only been with my iPhone. Well, as you can tell by my gallery, it was not my last attempt to create this kind of captures.
Inspiration
I have a fascination of nature’s creations, specifically the ones of flowers, from bloom to wilted and seedlings. With the risk of sounding awkward, I feel as they speak to me, telling a story. Many times it has to do with a certain mood they portray to me. There is a particular story that lays behind my inspiration in most of my flower captures. I find this particular Tulip is exuberating feminine divinity, almost like a womb.
Editing
Most of the work, shooting in the dark (for me), has to do with the right lightening and how the shadows falls, and off course the chosen settings of the camera. Very little editing is used in the post-processing. If necessary I preferably use Lightroom or PS Express.
In my camera bag
Canon EOS 1300D, with a 18-55mm lens was used for this particular capture, but when out and about, I always carry a Canon Zoom 75-300mm lens with me too. The lens ball follows me too. You never know if it may becomes handy.
Feedback
Shooting with black or dark background, makes the object being the center of attention, without any other distractions. I find a good flexible lamp coming very handy as well as a lot of patience.
