Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo inside one of my favorite coffee shops-Frothy Monkey- on the staircase by a small window.Time
It was around noon when this was taken-- indoors.Lighting
I always try my best to find contrasted, spectacular lighting. This just happened to be in a coffee shop and I couldn't resist the urge to snap a quick photo.Equipment
Canon 5D Mark II and reflector.Inspiration
"I needed a light source that was direct and I found this in the window. My friend wanted to get a few headshots.Editing
Only basic editing --dodging and burning.In my camera bag
My camera, a couple lenses and a reflector. (And fireworks. Duh)Feedback
Always look at the ability of a light source to feature and represent your subject. Never settle for dull lighting.
