Wow. That's all I can say. This shoot was fantastic. Sarah and James are so open and so appreciative of each other and the relationship they have built together... it's inspiring. It's clear that they have something really special. Something deep, something meaningful. They're in it to win it.
I took some artistic liberties with these photos for Sarah and James and found it to be a rather wonderful processing experience, which was a pleasant change from being so obsessive about the white balance that all joy is lost. I've been doing a lot of self-education recently about the direction that I want to take my photography in and my most recent sources of inspiration are Samm Blake and Dan O'Day. These two Aussie photographers are truly groundbreaking. They create art, something unexpected, something that doesn't look like every other photograph of a couple. If I could even get one step closer to that, I'd be a happy camper.
Without further ado, the amazing Sarah and James:
