Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Bakersfield, CA at my clients house. She wanted some candid shots of her 2 year old son.

Time

Shot in the evening just as the sun was going down.

Lighting

This spot has a lot a trees and shields the yard from the harsh desert sun making even light most of the day.

Equipment

Canon 70d with 70-200 mm lens. Handheld at eye level with the child.

Inspiration

I have always liked candid child photography, kids don't seem to be camera shy or get insecure in front of a camera. They are in their own worlds exploring their surroundings.

Editing

Lightroom was used to edit this photo, some clarity enhancement on the child and and shadow lifting.

In my camera bag

24mm, 70-200mm, tripod, and my 50.

Feedback

Let your child be themselves and explore their world. I find if poses are forced with kids they look forced. Be patient and have fun.
