Behind The Lens

Location

This particular photo was taken outside in a friend's garden, I am a filmmaker and enjoy making short clips so I was actually filming him and stood up to take a selfie.

Time

I live in Arizona so we wake up to 100 degree weather with the sun blazing until almost 8pm but this shot was taken around noon-ish

Lighting

Well as I said before here in Arizona it's impossible to get away from the sun but I prefer filming and taking photos in as much natural lighting as possible. In this photo I am using natural light with a sheer garden cover over my head, which created this light pattern across my face.

Equipment

I usually film with my Canon T6, but this day I was switching between my Canon 420 and my iPhone, I hardly use my tripod for photography because I have a few gimbles such as the handheld stabilizer that are my favorite.

Inspiration

I am a true Narcissist to the heart I enjoy taking selfies or posing in front of the camera. I literally take a new photo of myself every week to upload to all my social media. I don't know if it's the Gemini in me or if I'm just clinically insane but I cling to change constantly.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

I'm ashamed to say that I have three cama bags, well...in my defense two of which are solely for filmmaking and videography but in my photography bookbag I have 4 different sets of lens, three cameras (all Canon) T6, T7, and EOS 420, my iPhone 7, Android tablet (which by the ways takes amazing close up photos) my laptop, 3 memory cards, depending on what I'm shooting I might have my tripod but like said I usually use different handheld gimbles, my business cards, and candy.
