Not looking

When I first saw this image, I thought, “well, I love it, but will my client?” I think most photographers who do portrait work struggle with this concept. While I need to provide a product my client is going to be happy with, I still need to stay true to who I am as an artist.

I keep going back to this image today and thinking to myself, this is so lovely!  Something about the two of them not paying attention to me, the black and white of the image takes away all the colors that would normally distract.

So, I delivered it as a proof and printed it large for myself. It’s probably an image most would pass right by, but for some reason, today, I can’t take my eyes it.
