Inspired by an image on Monica’s Pinterest Board
Inspiration boards are just that, for inspiration
Each couple & photographer can create their own unique take on.
And that’s what we did here.
The sun was setting and, after making family pictures, we had time to wander around the grounds at Ecotay (just outside Perth, Ontario) where we found a very dark area behind trees with a stack of boulders to pose on.
With off-camera lighting set up above and behind my head I placed Monica’s shoe on one of the boulders (you can draw your own conclusions about a “Cinderella” idea if you like, I just liked it for the compositional balance it created) and reminded Monica and Garney of the pose from their inspiration board. As there wasn’t a wall to steady themselves on there were several takes to get this portrait made.
The result has a private moment with a somewhat dramatic vibe acting as a foil to the lighter and airier candids we made that day.
Share your inspiration boards with me, you set the tone by the choices you’ve made for your day; collaborating on your final pictures is very important to me.
