Believe it or not, we all have a creative side that helps us express ourselves. You may be thinking that you don’t, but it’s true. You may not be a freelance photographer but maybe you enjoy scrapbooking, needlepoint or painting. Those are obvious creative outlets. But how about some others: gardening, baking, or blogging? Or some that are a bit more far-stretched: bar fights, creative use of profanity or even office doodles?
We enjoy working with a client or model and bringing out their story through the image. Everyone has a story and being able to portray that story in a single picture is how we express our creativity. Getting to know the client as more than a client adds to the composition that otherwise would only be a picture.
We especially enjoyed photographing the beautiful girl that has grown into a beautiful young woman even though she spent her entire life moving from one place to another, never benefiting from the generational roots in a suburban home. We shot her pictures with a symbolic suitcase with the world continuing to pass behind her as she sat strong and confident as a beautiful strong woman.
Another shoot that was fun was the young man with his skateboard. His board goes everywhere with him and as such, is truly a part of him. Or the Live Off Groupon Winner that is spending 1 year of his life touring the world on Groupons – we shot him with his computer because that is his lifeline to the world, the only way he is able to stay connected and find places to sleep or eat.
Spending time to think of the best way to tell someone’s story is important and to us, it makes photography more of an art and less of a career. We love what we do and hope that your family will partake in this adventure with us.
