Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at home in my living room/improvised studio.Time
It was sometime after midnight, when my family was fast asleep. I love working at night, when all is quiet and my imagination is wide awake.Lighting
I used a flashlight positioned at 45 degrees and turned my face towards it.Equipment
I used a Canon 5D Mark III with a Canon 24-70mm lens. Also a tripod and a remote.Inspiration
This is part of a series of self portraits with different expressions. I made a list of words, then tried to mimic each of them. The word for this picture was “Memories”.Editing
Well, I’m 56. So yeah, it took some retouching... LolIn my camera bag
A Canon 24-70mm and a brand new Canon 100mm. It’s actually all I have so far.Feedback
I am still learning myself. I think a combination of study, practice and passion will lead to perfection eventually.
