Ok, Image of the Week is back, baby! I’ve been deep in album production for clients from the past two years and was reminded of this image, one of my favorites from last year. I work for you, my client. To not just fulfill your expectations and satisfy preconceived ideas about your wedding photography and what you expect to see but I also work for me, always working for something more. Getting beyond the known or expected is one of the truly satisfying parts of being a professional artist. If you’re a wedding photographer in Philly, even for just a minute, you’ll likely take the classic picture of a couple on Broad Street in from of City Hall. It can be a fun and Phillycentric way to celebrate your wedding. Passing motorists honk, this past Sat. a pedestrian, looking like he just left the gym, had to snap the couple with his iPhone. On this particular June evening, it was raining softly. Just enough to get the streets a bit wet but not enough to ruin the evening. So Kathy, John and I ran out to get our requisite images of them on the median. Then while running back in as the rain picked up, I kept shooting, as one must always do, and grabbed this impressionistic take on the scene. It’s one of the wondrous surprises that gets discovered after the shoot, sitting at the editing station. I love the blur, the colors, the contrast of Kathy’s dress against the street, the oncoming bus. If you love it too, let me know. Call me and I’ll break the mold for your wedding!
