Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Downtown Garland, Texas.Time
We arrived around 5pm, and shot until sunset. This was one of the very first test shots, if you can believe it!Lighting
The light was very pleasant, sun was low with buildings on the left side, and light falling in between them.Equipment
All that was used was a Canon 6D & 50mm lens!Inspiration
This young dancer wanted an elegant photo session for her birthday. I thought it was a perfect gift to celebrate herself that way!Editing
Yes, this photo was editing in a slightly painterly style, complete with additional skirt pieces inlayed, and plenty of dodge and burn.In my camera bag
I’m mostly a minimalist, finding the challenge one camera and two lenses really good for my creativity and being able to successfully work with just about anything.Feedback
Catching motion is key with dancers, so get comfortable with your environment and all settings before starting the session. Keep a shutter speed over 1/400 and adjust ISO accordingly.
