Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on my home studio, using my Kiev 4A and a body of a similar Kiev I bought to get some parts for repair.

Time

As a studio shot, I did it past midnight, after hours and hours of other works on another subjects :)

Lighting

A pretty normal flash setup for this one.

Equipment

My Canon 80D with Sigma 17-50mm lens, Yongnuo and Limostudio flashes and a mini-studio box.

Inspiration

Since 2017 i´ve been working on recovering and restoring old cameras, using them for work and as props on my shootings, composing a book project of History of Photography.

Editing

No post processing needed.

In my camera bag

I usually like to have close to me some close up filters, polarizers and a few effects, 5 to 7 lenses and two cameras (a full frame and a APS-C). A backup film camera for emergencies and most of the time manual vintage lenses.

Feedback

Get in touch with local stores, collectors and friends to get those long forgotten vintage cameras! Make it work and use it as an extra on your photos too! :D
