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... Lol

In 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.
