Creating An Art Piece

It’s not often that I really take the time to play with images and create something more than just a basic portrait. Now, I’m not saying that I take “basic” portraits. I take amazing portraits(if I do say so myself)haha. And I take the time to individually edit every image I show a client. Every image presented at a clients reveal has been retouched and edited in a way that I think looks best. However in recent months I have been longing to “play” with an image and make it more of an art piece. Over the past few years I have come to know and in some cases admire from afar, many talented photographers and I have been greatly inspired by the variety and individuality each portrays in their final images. At times I have tried different looks but have never been sure that I could pull it off. I definitely have my style but even that has grown and and morphed over the past couple years. I love seeing this change and I definitely love trying new things.

With all this said, I had a session with my Signature Coterie Girl, Andrea back in April where we did some wonderful bridal shots and I decided to have a little fun with one of those images. I wanted a soft romantic feel, so I played with textures and lighting. I am really happy with how this turned out, especially for a first attempt. 😉

I would love to hear your thoughts so please leave a blog comment for me!

My apologies but I had to remove this image due to a tantrum by the subject. Some people really need to put their big girl panties on!
