Behind The Lens

Location

In the dining room. My daughter was sitting to one side and I was across from her playing with my relatively new Sony A7iii. I started taking the odd shot as we talked and laughed.

Time

Afternoon. There is a large sliding door where significant ambient, outdoor light filters into the space.

Lighting

All ambient.

Equipment

Sony A7iii with a Zeiss Batis 85mm 1.8. Handheld.

Inspiration

Teenagers are tough to capture. My daughter was engaged in the conversation, relaxed and was comfortable with the camera.

Editing

All the shots in this series had minor alterations. I took a shortcut on Lightroom on this one by applying a “Cross Process” filter.

In my camera bag

Camera, two lenses, charger, monopod.

Feedback

I think knowing that your subject is comfortable in an unrelated moment, and simultaneously fine with the camera, is really important. It allows you to tread the space between what would be candid, and what would be considered posed. I think that you can capture a spontaneous look or emotion even though your subject is aware they are being shot.
