Behind The Lens

Location

I took the photo in the bathtub of a friend's house. :)

Time

It was daytime and it started to rain, we had planned to go outside to take pictures, so as the day did not accompany us in our decision we decided to take the photos inside the house. I saw the bathtub and I knew very clearly how I wanted to take the photo.

Lighting

The lighting is as simple as the desk lamp my friend had and the light that came through the window. There wasn't much else.

Equipment

I used my camera, a canon eos 700D. It's not a big deal but it has been with me since my beginnings. The lens is a 50mm 1.8 from Canon as well. We also used a flexo to light the photograph since the one in the bathroom was not enough.

Inspiration

I had always seen several photos taken in bathtubs, some I liked better and others less. What was clear to me is that it will not be noticed that it was a bathtub, rather I wanted it to give the impression of a large area with water like a lake. I started putting makeup on my friend and then we started taking photos.

Editing

Yes! The photograph has skin retouching as well as water, I also retouched it to give it more movement and a darker tone, since the original photo showed the bottom of the bathtub.

In my camera bag

I carry my camera which is an eos 700D. Three lenses a 50mm 1.8 and a 35mm 2.0. Then I carry the 18 - 55mm canon. I also always carry a couple of batteries and some colored gel.

Feedback

I could give a lot of advice, but I think the best is to try. Different shapes, different positions, until you find the photo you like. Improvisation is often the best ally.
