Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at my home in Illinois.

Time

I remember that I took this photo in the evening. I got all ready to go out and wanted to take a mysterious picture.

Lighting

I wanted the lighting to be a little bit darker to add to the mystery. I did not want shadows cast on my face, but I did want me to "pop" in the picture.

Equipment

This shot was a very simple one. Believe it or not, it is from my phone, but my phone was made to take great pictures.

Inspiration

Honestly, I would have to say that my outfit inspired the photo. I also wanted to try a smile that was not my usual "teeth grin" smile. I wanted to look more mysterious and devious.

Editing

I took several shots to get the one that I wanted. I wanted it to be perfect.

In my camera bag

I usual have my older version of a Cannon.

Feedback

I think it has to do with the lighting and making your object stand out and be the center of attention.
