Photography can be a truly magical medium. This silhouette photograph was taken in a Los Angeles city park. The background was actually cluttered with fences and buildings, basketball courts and tennis courts, people walking by… However, by carefully choosing my vantage point and exposure, and thoughtfully positioning my subjects, there is no sign of a city. There is also no Photoshop work done beyond a simple conversion to black and white.
As an artist, when you envision a photograph like this and bring it to life, it feels like magic!
With a cross-country move just over a month away, “overwhelmed” hardly describes me right now. I am sitting among a sea of papers: moving contracts, print orders, post its, to-do lists (so many to-do lists). Trying to keep organized at a time like this is a huge job in itself, but I am determined that it can be done. I have had so many amazing photo sessions lately with so many of my lovely loyal clients. Taking a quick break to post and gaze at this image is a much needed breath of fresh air. I have many more special images to share, just as soon as life settles down a bit. Stay tuned and enjoy your last bits of summer!
