My Style, Example #1 - The Sun | Maryland Fine Art & Lifestyle Photographer

I'm actually excited to reveal these next few posts to all of you! Most likely because the images that I will put together with these posts are a piece of my heart, and what drives me, inspires me, and pushes me to keep going. Sounds cheesy, I know - but there is truth in being inspired by art.

So, the sun. No surprises there! Capturing sunlight (and people IN sunlight) is and always will be my first love.

I love the sun. I love how it bathes people in a beautiful, flattering way.

I love the amazing rim of light you see around people's shoulders.

Or the way it makes hair and other objects literally glow.

I love the weird circle and spots it puts on an image when shot in just the right way (sun flare).

I love capturing my subjects with a hazy, light feel.

You can actually feel warmth when you look at these. They are intended to be light. They are intended to be hazy. The point is not the fine details of a face as much as it is the amazing beauty that is seen when a subject is just surrounded in light.

And it gives an ethereal, angelic feel to an image.

If you schedule a shoot with me, you can pretty much guarantee that I will strive to get images like this (no promises, after all - I cannot control Mother Nature!). I find images like these beautiful, soulful and oozing with feeling. The images will be light. The images will not have as sharp of detail as others that I take. This is the intention, and this is what I am working towards and it is not a mistake. I am looking for clients that understand this, and want this in their images.

So there you have it, my first example of how I define my work! I will be back tomorrow with example #2.
