I myself isn't a pro, I'm just enthusiastic about photography, in fact I just carry a point & shoot type - Sony RX1r along with a tripod. Though I wish to have the gears that the Pros have, I keep telling myself that it won't help my photography as much as my skill. I mostly go for good lighting and composition as well. As long as I'm able to show the story that I'm trying to share, then that's good enough for me.
Now the challenge for me is to effectively express the story like the way your doing, lol.
Thanks for sharing the location.
