Heres the portrait session with Laura and Scott. I’ve known Laura from highschool. She had told me for quite a while that she was interested in a portrait session, but only now did things fall into place in such a way that she contacted me and asked me when I could book her and her boyfriend for a couples’ session. I was quite excited because working with couples is always a lot of fun. What I didn’t know was how great they looked together and how good they are at smiling quite naturally at command in spite of the below zero temperatures and the wind chill.
As I usually like to do, I met them at the Starbucks in uptown Waterloo and we walked from there, since there are quite some lovely locations within walking distance. Now, what I did not consider was how “within walking distance” is quite a fluid notion when the temperatures venture below the freezing point, so we had to restrict our walking to areas that gave us the possibility to get indoors for a quick warm-up every once in a while. The old Seagram distillery building, now lofts, was a perfect place to start. We shot a bit, then ran inside to warm up, then shot some more, eventually making our way down to the train station in Waterloo Park. But I won’t keep you waiting any more, here’s the results!
Thank you very much Laura and Scott for putting up with the cold in favour of me taking pictures of you!
Laura mentioned how she loves it how I bring out people’s eyes in portraits and said she is looking forward to see the ones of Scott, since he has such detail-rich eyes. Indeed he does!
Scott found a way to keep himself warm …Matrix style!
They just stood there in perfect positions without me even saying anything. Both of them born models I tell you! I am so being spoiled. Other photographers need to actually work on telling their clients how to stand. Look at this! Looks almost like taken out of one of the Matrix movies
