Behind The Lens

Location

Taken in Kyoto, Japan. Had one hour to prep and explore a small temple area before she arrived, then literally 8 minutes to shoot! Her half painted lips indicate to others that she is in training and to forgive her for any mistakes.

Time

Mid afternoon.

Lighting

The light wasn’t that great giving a rather dull background, so I asked her to use her umbrella and it completely changed the lighting of the shot.

Equipment

Canon 70D. 50mm 1.8 prime.

Inspiration

The temple had some interesting aspects but a lot of dull brown. So I needed some colour, and wanted to take the shot through the lattice work to give a different dimension and to add to the lines on her umbrella.

Editing

Very basic lightroom.

In my camera bag

Canon 70D (though now upgraded to 5D mark iv) 50mm 1.8 16-35L 70-200L

Feedback

Try and get something extra, an extra element to the shot perhaps, as often you find the same practiced facial pose in this scenario.
