Portraits of Love

Love, as a noun, is described by the dictionary as a deep, romantic attachment to somebody, and that’s exactly what couple pictures are of: two people romantically attached to one another.

Couples’ portraits are all about feelings, connections, interactions and the telling of their stories. They should be natural,as over-posing will immediately show. Telling the couple’s story can sometimes be tricky but the key is to pay attention to what makes them tick, like inside jokes or little unique gestures that they use to show affection. Every duo is different and when you can capture their genuine moments, you have created some magic.

I haven’t been at this for very long but I believe I have learned the most important lesson there is in taking pictures: a picture should be worth a thousand words. With every photograph that I create, I want to show it to people without a title, without an explanation, without a single word.
