Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful

More photos from Andrews and Tasha's photo shoot. 

In the first photo, there is a good amount of background trees that I enjoy, I personally like photos with paths, and I think it would be neat to do this photo in the summer so you can see the path more clearly.

The second photo is a classic photo being close up and with both people looking. lots of people prefer these types of photos, even though they might seem easy to set up, I think its a good position to continue to do.

The Third photo is quite similar to the previous one I posted, just from a different angle. I like this angle also because it has more background to it, and the picture is cute! 

Photography Tip: If your going to shoot winter subjects, plan it for warm day! (It was FREEZING -29'C)

Thanks for reading and I would love to hear what you think!

Kissing Candy Cane

Another Picture from Andrew and Tasha's winter photo shoot!
Kissing Candy-cane! I love this photo, because its my sister and you can just tell that they love each other! 
Often times people use empty space to draw your attention to where you should be looking. I chose the picture to be centered because its a vertical picture, and there is enough in the picture to lead your eyes in the need direction.
Its nice to sometimes use props, especially in this case because it frames their lips and shows the viewer what to be looking at. This whole picture resembles love.

Thanks for reading, let me know what you liked or dislike. hope you all are making the best out of winter! 

Andrew and Tasha

I am out visiting my is sister and brother in law for the Christmas Break. Andrew and Tasha Have been married two and a half years now.

This candy cane prop is a common Christmas shot. I chose to frame it like this, because it gets the viewer to look at the hands and candy cane and then then face, makes the picture look more 3D instead of 2D. It just gives the picture extra spice! 

Winter photography is still fairly new to me because I normally take pictures when its warm outside, because when its cold outside I would rather sit in a warm house. This project has pushed me to grow in the photography areas I am not as comfortable in, mainly winter photography and indoor photography. 

The sun as you can tell, is coming from the right, creating a small shadow on Andrews face. I would of preferred without a shadow, but it was very sunny and direct sunlight would cause blinking subjects.

A big difference during the summer and winter is that during the summer standing in a shadow just creates a darker subject, and during the winter the white snow reflects a blue color on your subjects faces when standing in the shadow, so stay away from shadows because they create more of a cold depressing look. Have fun in the sunshine!
