anti portraits
January 27th, 2009We have so many ideas written down, sketched out, just waiting to see the light of day. Most of the time these ideas take so much work and effort that I procrastinate and put off the project until the concept finally overcomes my laziness and pushes itself out into the real world. Below is just one of the many ideas that I have sketched out for a project to bring my conceptual “anti-bridal” approach to portrait and family photography.

above in tights our willing participants in our first antiportrait project: Kiera, Willie, Tivon, Randi, Autumn and Naazir

You are amazing- and not just for the unique concepts but for your ability to obviously describe them so well and convince clients that they will work- and work they wil!!!

This really reminds me of the sigur ros video where the kids are dressed up and marching in a field. i love this approach; it’s very inspiring.
