May 13'th 2008 Love Story Session

Slightly timid couple - didn't converse with each other easily - unnerved her when I was in close shooting - she didn't like pictures showing her teeth or when smiling - she was taller than him and getting a balance with his smaller frame was a challenge - she was shivering from the cold - they were static with their poses and body positioning . . .

. . . but I worked and worked them and managed to rattle off over 500 shots in the hour and a half I had with them. Resulting a beautiful series that will easily provide the 50 final images that I require for their Love Story Set. Here are a few:

Thats what makes a great photo. Its not the camera its not the subject its the "story" the creation of shot tells. Trying to "build" the story is much harder than it looks. If you hadn't told us how difficult this couple was, we would have never guessed.

I know they will be thrilled with them. Good job!!

Great job! My favorite is #3 and I love #5 too. I feel like I can see the love that they have for each other. I like #3 being in black and white.

Always a pleasure to view your work, Robert, excellent as usual. TFS

You don't understand what?

ya thats why i didnt understand. i would understand more if she had spinach in her teeth and no one told her or she had really bad teeth but she has a gorgeous smile along with great pearly whites!
