Last month, Katie & Mike braved a line of thunderstorms for their engagement session. We all managed to kept dry, but it was safe to say the rest of the metro got soaked.
Welcome back you guys and we hope you had a great honeymoon!

Concept shoots are a place for us to express ourselves and use our inspirations to enhance the stories we tell. Being a collaborative, we are constantly chatting, formulating and dreaming. From stop action videos, 360 degree panos, to composite images, they are all expressions of our clients stories. For us story telling does not just mean shooting the sequence of a wedding day. It is getting to know them personally, and to be able to connect and respond in a very unique way.
Jennifer and Andrew’s unique story comes from their level of craft in everything they do. Jennifer is an architect at a local firm in Kansas City and Andrew is a furniture designer. The bench in the images below is made by his hands. Everything they touch becomes an object of beauty. But the two of them are also a contradiction. Andrew is a country boy, and Jennifer, well – a city girl. We wanted to create something to portray this in a very original way.
With this shoot, it is the pure concept of two control and precision dorks. Shooting 2 images, on 2 different days, with the same clients to create the ultimate duality. We were armed with our tape measures, light meters, tripods and sketchbooks. The shots were set and every position measured, the angle of the bench, distance from the camera, height of the camera, and everything else. They were then recreated in another environment, under different lighting, sky, clothing, etc.
The images were then combined, raw, un-warped, un-croped, honest. This is what you get:

The question we have is did we succeed.

fantastic! well done. I really dig the wide angle image. At first glance, it looks like a single image. Great job.
April 23, 2010 | 7:54 amfantastic idea and an incredible amount of work put into this. I can’t imagine the level of precision here. I’m sure your clients appreciate these images as they are such a comprehensive reflection of who they are. well done:)
April 23, 2010 | 8:04 amWOW, love the second shot. The 2 images have just the right amount of blend and almost looks like a single photo.
April 23, 2010 | 8:04 amTotal succeed! I love the concept and the hard work it must have taken. I love the color blend in the second photo, but the feet and the placement of the first. Bravo Friends. Bravo!
April 23, 2010 | 8:06 amI love the first for the way it remains true to the subjects differences using the symbolic bench as a constant. I love the second for a it’s fliud way of tying the two elements together. Great work as always.
