some flair at the fair!
Friday, November 14, 2008 at 2:30PM If you remember a few posts back, we showed you Tim and Carrie's sneak peek. For their creative session we took them to the fair! From ferris wheels, to bumper cars, to eating cotton candy, nothing was off limits to capture some creative and truly unique imagery. They even slid down a big slide, capturing the attention of the entire crowd.
a kiss three different ways...
For those looking at these for ideas, considering the following:
Depending on composition, the image can be about the kiss, or the kiss could be happening but not necessarily be the focus. Cropping, composing and editing, can create a stark contrast when creating an image. Consider experimenting in your own projects with the different ways something can be shot.
In the first image, I brought the couple in close to the frame, making them very "in your face" commanding the attention of the bride and groom first while giving them a unique backdrop to rest in.
In the second, the cropping creates a unique feel.
The couple is smaller, giving the ferris wheel more presence, but the light on the couple draws your attention back to them, creating an interesting dynamic between the two elements. Our eyes are usually drawn to the brightest area of a photo, and this time, playing off of the size of the ferris wheel while having the larger, brighter light shining on the, albeit smaller, couple creates an image you want want to take a second look at.
In the last image, you have the couple in a very low-light setting, with the background pulling your eye directly to the drama in the clouds and vertical element of another park ride.
Remember, all three images show kissing, but each image commands the attention in different ways, creating a unique experience for each photo.
