Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Plymouth, Pennsylvania. I was hired by this girls grandmother to capture her midget football's annual homecoming event.

Time

This shot was taken mid day. I remember that it was a dreary day and it kept raining off and on throughout the afternoon. If you look closely, you can see the raindrops falling in the image while the girl cheers on her football team.

Lighting

The sky as dark and overcast.

Equipment

This photo was shot hand held on Sony A7III.

Inspiration

I had an image like this set in my mind before showing up to the shoot. However, when I got there I was so inspired by all the movement going on with the cheering, hair swirling, and rain coming down.

Editing

There wasn't much done in post to this photo. I always trail to nail exposure in camera. The main edit was turning the photo black and white.

In my camera bag

I like to shoot with prime lenses and use 2 different camera bodies. I usually have 2 Sony A7III's, a 50mm, 85mm, and 28mm.

Feedback

Have an idea in your mind of what you're trying to capture so you can go out and make the photo happen. Shoot on the subjects level and be patient.
