p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · R & G - Engagement Session


This was at the Long Ridge (Saratoga) Open Space Preserve in Saratoga, CA (kinda' right between San Jose and Santa Cruz).

Expecting heat, we got cold and windy weather. Expecting direct sunlight, we got this weird but awesome diffused cloud/sunlight scenario.

I'm always open to C&C.

Awesome as always, Mike. 18 and 20... AMAZING. You always seem to push it just a little further with your compositions each shoot.

If I had to nitpick: his left hand in 17 looks a bit awkward.

Very nice coverage. Good variety and like the compositions.
Nice mix of camera aware and them in a location enjoying the surroundings.

Very nice set Mike!

Donīt like 8 and 9 too much.

In 8, I find the dark branches on top too heavy, in 9 the sun on the legs too bright. But, on a second look that also can look cool in a way, canīt decide for myself.

Anyway, love you "directing"

Thanks Heiko for explaining what you didn't like. Much appreciated.

#8 and #9 are definitely out of the norm for me, but I wanted to try something different and was actually quite pleasantly surprised with the outcome!

Really like this set.

Like the tones especially.

My main crit would be that too many of the images have the subjects centered.

I agree with you. I was giving myself some C&C in my own head, and realized I totally centered a lot of these shots. I love center framing, so it makes sense, but sometimes I overdo it a little.

Thanks everyone!

Some nice captures. If I were to crit though, I'd say overall a bit more of somber feel than I'd prefer in an engagement session.

I agree, but I pride myself on reading my clients. R & G are quiet, wonderful people, and while they laugh a lot, I didn't want to force their laughter. They were plenty pleased with the images, as was I.

I really like this set a lot. as others said, the tones are very pleasing to me at least. Center framing doesnt bother me as I'm very guilty of that myself because I happen to like it. I feel you have enough ROT shots in there to have the amount of center framed images you displayed. That location rocks!
