A short time ago I saw a photograph online - check it out, it is pretty funny. So this got me thinking, what do Heather and I look like when we photograph people.
I’m so glad you asked, well actually I asked, but someone out there might want to know anyway. For the past 8 years we’ve been shooting wedding, engagements and portraits together, and we’ve never taken any photos of us actually shooting, until last year. We made a decision at the start of 2011, that we would try to take at least one photo of the other person, at least once during every shoot.
The result…well… we didn’t get a frame from every shoot, mainly because its hard to remember to do it. We get so engrossed with our subjects and surroundings, our brains racing for the next location, pose, shot, watching the light, waiting for the right breath of wind to blow past, dodging cars, (if you can dodge a car, you can dodge a ball) dogs and joggers, that we just plain forgot…a lot. But we did manage to get a few, so we thought we’d share. What we learned, apparently I goof off with the groom… a lot, and Heather, well she has a little bit of Art School Graduate in her. Check them out, and as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section , and don’t forget to ‘Like’ us on Facebook either. Come on, its either Facebook or do some work/study/laundry, and no one wants to do laundry.
Cheers
Chris and Heather
