Behind The Lens

Location

On assignment with the newspaper I freelance for, I took several photos and this one was my favorite.

Time

Middle of the day.

Lighting

I used the available light and set my camera to a slightly higher ISO than necessary to get a little grain to give this a vintage film look.

Equipment

A Sony A7RII with a Canon L F4 16-35 lens meta bones adapted.

Inspiration

I’m an avid fan of Halloween and strange portraiture. This one covered both subjects and I was able to use my creativity to get the shot I wanted.

Editing

Only converting it to black and white.

In my camera bag

An assortment of Canon and Sony lenses and a few adapted older lenses. A flash that rarely gets out of the bag and a few filters.

Feedback

Visualize the shot and and wait for the proper moment.
