Behind The Lens

Location

He is Taurino, one of the few men to work as a midwife in the mountains of Cauca, one of the regions most affected by Colombia's armed conflict. At 80 years old he remembers how he became a midwife and how, despite all the violence in his region, life will always be the most beautiful hope.

Time

This image was made as the five o'clock afternoon sun slipped through the door of one of the houses that make up the rural area of Santander de Quilichao, in the department of Cauca in Colombia.

Lighting

Natural light

Equipment

Nikon D3S

Inspiration

The light and the texture

Editing

I worked on the photo in photoshop and passed it around in grayscale. Of course, it looks great in color too.

In my camera bag

Nikon D3S, lens 85mm, 105mm, 28-80 y 55-200 mm

Feedback

To take advantage of the light in all its dimension. Never stop observing it, contemplate it and use it to achieve a better job. Photography is about understanding light.
