When I found out that Lacey & Martin were BOTH art students, I knew I wanted to try some very different and experimental stuff for their engagement session! On one hand it was inspiration to step outside of the box, and on the other hand, it was a lot of pressure to create something very unique and different for a couple who already lives outside of the box in their everyday lives! ;-) I wanted to create more abstract images... striving to make unique pieces of art. Some of the things I attempted were a great success, and some were not so successful. I'll let you be the judge. ;-)
This little sculpture is a piece of Lacey's art and I LOVE what she did with it! The subject is actually found in the negative space between the two pieces- if you look long enough, you'll see the shape of a pregnant woman outlined by sculpture.
We had started off in the Broad Ripple area and ended up in downtown Indianapolis, along the canal. I planned for about half of our session to be after dark, so we could get some great night shots and try some different lighting techniques.
So, I'm anxious to hear what you think!
I really liked them - different angles and different perspectives. Love the expression on Lacey's face when their hands are joined. The skyline one is neat. The last one has great color. COOL :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh the shoot I missed. I SO wish I could have been there. You rocked it! What a cute couple.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation. You reached a new level! You definitely stepped outside of the box with this series.
ReplyDeleteI love the last one, but they're all really interesting. I think you could look at each of them several times and find something new each time. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE #10 and #12 they have such great lighting & emotion, these are so great. nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! you are so creative with trying new things, and SO gifted at using available light in unique ways. I like a ton of them, but my favorites are probably the b/w with the stripes on the wall, and the one of their legs in the grass. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love them!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the first one, last one and the black and white with the city in the bg. Very creative :)
ReplyDeleteI love them!! I think the night shots add a whole new dimension to your overall look.
ReplyDeleteI really love the second to last image! I think it creates a very intimate and personal look into their relationship.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly gorgeous!! I love them! You have such great ideas and they always come out so well. Thanks for the inspiration!! :)
ReplyDeleteNice meeting you at the Flourish workshop. I love this session. Very cool-
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. I am in awe of your work. Whenever I see a new session of yours I am just blown away by how original each photograph is, from the lighting to the poses. Just...WOW. I hope our paths cross someday soon, I would love to meet the genius behind the camera! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother smashing success! I think you outdid yourself. Those are just amazing. I don't think I can even pick a favorite!!! I am so jealous of your thoughtful use of lights, foreground...just everything!
ReplyDeleteokay, not fair, the pictures changed from yesterday morning to today! but, I think the first one, with the brown sky and the streetlight is my favorite. I like the mood of it. props to you, chicky!
ReplyDeletei love the angles and the lighting! great, as usual! :)
ReplyDeleteAnne-I've been a lurker for a LONG time. Thought I would break my silence. You are an AMAZING photographer. I just love looking at all your new stuff. It's so natural and unique!
ReplyDeleteJill
