Shot on the Sony a6500 with a Canon 35mm lens and a Sigma adaptor, this photo made for a perfect silhouette skateboard photo at the Venice Skatepark.

A working trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2013 with Canadian Humanitarian led to perhaps one of the best photos I have ever taken. Taken on a rickety carousel that led to a near vomit experience for the photographer, this photo is the culmination of a day spent with some wonderful students in the Ethiopian capitol. This image was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-105mm F4 IS USM lens.

Rather than a standard photo tutorial, Behind the Photo is meant to be a real world example with technical information on how the photo was taken. For BTP No.01 I introduce the idea and a photo from 2001 shot on Fuji film in Fukuoka Japan with a basic Minolta SLR camera. This was the first picture that truly inspired me and encouraged me to pursue a profession in visual arts.
