I've been waiting for the right time to get started with my idea, and now I feel like I've waited long enough!
So here's what I've been thinking. Love is love. No matter if you're a newly-wed couple, or a couple celebrating a lifetime spent together, or if you're a couple with a big age gap or from completely different backgrounds. It's all just love.
And that love should be celebrated.
So I'm starting my photography project. A portrait project to celebrate love between all different kinds of couples. To show that, at it's core, the love is all the same.
I'm looking for various couples to help me with this project. I really want to feature a wide range of couples, including:
- a newly-engaged couple
- a newly-married couple
- a couple expecting a baby
- a young couple
- an older couple
- couples who've been together for 10, 20, 30, 40 etc years
- same-sex couples
- couples from different ethnic backgrounds
- a couple with an age gap between them
I'm looking for a really diverse mix of people here!
What's in it for you?
A free Beloved portrait session in Swansea.
5 of the images from the session sent to you as digital files.
What's in it for me?
The chance to explore the Beloved genre in even more depth.
The opportunity to produce a beautiful collection of images that truly represent love.
What do you need to do?
I need the people involved in this project to be open with their emotions; not afraid to show how they feel. The Beloved approach is all about genuine emotion, and I will be asking you to play games, imagine scenarios and express your feelings about them through touch and looks, and to discuss your feelings for your partner with them.
You need to make sure you and your partner are both comfortable with this, I'm looking for people who will be really open to this type of session!
If this sounds like your sort of thing, fantastic! You can contact me here or via my Facebook page to let me know you're interested and we'll get chatting to see if you'll be just the right person for the project!
If I already feel that your particular situation has been represented then I won't be able to offer you the free session, but would still love to work with you and so will be offering those who contact me a reduced session fee for a couple's Beloved portrait session.
A few things to note:
The session must be held at a mutually agreed location in Swansea.
I will keep full copyright of the images.
The images may at any time be used/displayed on my blog, social media pages, and promotional materials (this will be detailed in a contract that we will both sign)
I'm hoping for this to be a long-term, ongoing, evolving project so we'll discuss together the best time for your session to take place.
So, people of Swansea, who's in love right now?! Who wants to shout about it from the rooftops?!
Let's celebrate love! Give me a shout right now if you want to be part of this celebration with me!
