As some of you may recall, I started doing Urban Night Photo Sessions back in November of 2009 with the intent of creating something a little bit different than your "typical" engagement session for my clients. My goal was to mix in elements of urban city life to create bold and dramatic images that will not just "blend in"...I wanted them to "pop". I was after images that were rich in color, atmosphere, and personality. This meant that I had to pay attention to what's around me and use what the city has to offer...street lights, lamp posts, neon signs, you name it. And to add some unique elements to the photos, i would bring along some gels to add bold colorful profile lighting when the situation calls for it. Of course, trying to explain this to someone without samples to show what I was talking was tough to sell.
Luckily, a few brave souls such as
Tara and Jeff believed in my vision and took me up on the offer. What I found from doing their photo shoot was that nigh time photography was so much more fun and exciting than I had hoped for. And I was thrilled with the images we are able to capture!!
