Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my home studio.

Time

This was taken in the afternoon when I had a bit of natural light shining through the window.

Lighting

I found it challenging to light a subject so small (haha), since he was on the floor and my lights were a bit too high. I had to adjust my iso…etc. to compensate.

Equipment

I used my Canon Mark III, 50mm lens & 3 lights.

Inspiration

I was inspired by my bearded dragon’s spikes and textured skin. There is so much character and the patterns are incredible.

Editing

I post processed this image using Photoshop. I converted it to black and white and used a lot of dodge & burn.

In my camera bag

I alway carry my 50mm…my favorite lens.

Feedback

It’s a challenge trying to photograph a pet. Lots of treats!!’
