This was my groom from first week of may.
You guys wouldn't believe the environment this shot was taken. A cluttered, living room, in ambient light from the picture window.
I love how these shots turned out.
This groom had ZERO doubts about marrying his bride. So cool, calm & confident.
I edited to isolate the highlights, and shadows in this shot & I adore using B&W to isolate a mood
FYI, I WANTED the focus on his hands in the second shot, instead of eyes. In the first one, hands and face were almost placed in same focal range
This is more a wedding portrait than artistic photo. To emphise hands zoom in and light hands for impact.
I think its a good wedding port for a client but do not get the confidence feel you intend.
Wow! I bet they were thrilled when they got these. He looks like the next James Bond! very nice work!
