Behind The Lens

Location

City Suites in Chicago IL

Time

3pm

Lighting

Yes so the photo was completely lit with the interior lighting. And if my memory serves me correctly I dont think any light from outside made it through however however I did use some minor editing to brighten the interior of the lighting

Equipment

I used just my my camera on my iPhone and I made sure that when I took the photo. It was from from my the perspective of my diaphragm or my stomach and it being 6 foot 1.

Inspiration

This was actually a photo that I did not think twice about. I didn't feel that this was a special photo by any means. I just happened to walk by in the hotel in Chicago. And I took the photo from the most attractive perspective and it just worked. I like the photo and I was inspired by the popularity the photo received.However I'm i'm kind of shocked at How popular this photo is. everyone seems to be in love with this Photo and it makes me very happy but that's that's kind of how life goes sometimes. You're work that you are least impressed with seems to to be the most popular with your audience. I feel very fortunate for this.

Editing

I did not.

In my camera bag

Tripod camera cell phone

Feedback

Yes, so the key to capturing photos like this is having an eye for what you like and knowing how to take a photo from the right perspective. Every artist has different strengths and weaknesses and perspective in photography seems to be a natural talent that manifest after instruction.
