Behind The Lens

Location

Taken in an abstract exhibition at Te Papa, Museum of New Zealand.

Time

Taken mid morning indoors with my iPhone, I didn’t have my Nikon with me.

Lighting

The starkness of the room provides a contrasting backdrop to the human presence, emphasizing the individual's significance while simultaneously accentuating the absence of any external distractions. The emptiness exudes a tranquil atmosphere, inviting the viewer to wonder about the thoughts and feelings that may envelop the person standing there.

Equipment

iPhone 14

Inspiration

This image serves as a gentle reminder of the immense power of solitude - an opportunity for introspection, self-discovery, and personal reflection. With no physical distraction to hinder contemplation, the person depicted in the image can dance to the rhythms of their own thoughts, allowing their own unique symphony to unfold.

Editing

Just a little to accentuate the shadows

In my camera bag

Nikon Z6 with range of lenses: 24-30mm, 24-70mm, 100-300mm and 105mm plus filters and manfrotto tripod.

Feedback

Taking advantage of any setting that inspires you using the kit that you have to hand …in my case my iPhone on another day I may have had my Nikon.
