I’ve noticed recently that the images I am most drawn to during the shooting and editing process have a particular figure/ground relationship; a very simple geometric flat ground, with a dimensional organic figure.
Here’s and image from another Intimate session that I think displays this figure/ground relationship that I have been working with. Though this is a very simple
wedding | san francisco city hall | per bacco
February 18, 2009 – 5:30 pm
What a lovely way to begin the 2009 wedding season!
Victoria and Jeff were married in the rotunda at San Francisco City Hall in a wonderful and intimate ceremony. Such an amazing public space in which to be married. There’s something so potent about a wedding paired down to its essential elements. The bride, the groom, the judge, hugs from family, sharing food with everyone. It was truly all about the love.
Victoria chose an elegant ivory wedding gown and a soft pink pashmina and a delicate bouquet of pink flowers. Jeff complimented her in a gorgeous grey suit, pink shirt and tie.
Showers passed through the day, but as we drove to the restuarant, the sun came out over City Hall, and the clouds scattered. Followed the ceremony with a four course delectable dinner at Per Bacco.
Below are a few of my favorite images from yesterday:
All the best to you both! I’m delighted to have been invited to be a part of your wedding.
intimate – abstractions

Here are two recent intimate images that I love for their simplicity and slight abstraction. Sometimes it’s about color and shape and form over everything else.

In one of my walkabouts in San Francisco, I found this enormous heart being painted silver on the sidewalk.

Valentine’s Day is pending, and imminent proposals are in the air.
I wanted to share one image from an amazing intimate/boudoir session I did last weekend. There’s something about the lines of the heel and the chrome; and the contrasting textures of the peek of bare skin against wool and wood that works for me. And the lovely tension on the toes against the floor.
Happy Year of the Ox!

Saturday night we muni-ed into town to claim our tiny piece of sidewalk and watch the Chinese New Year Parade. It was tough to find a good spot to shoot from that didn’t have CITIBANK in the background (reminder note for next year -watch from a window, whilst enjoying an adult beverage). Incongruent, but amusing, additions included the Get a Life Marching Band (motto: we eat better than we play) and the multicultural tiny children dancing to Jamiroquai.
Our sidewalk real estate placed us at the start of the route between parents who eagerly waited for their children to march by, vainly calling and waving over the bursts of firecrackers to look in the direction of their cameras. and a group of children on a picnic blanket playing a game of I Spy between sharing their fruit leathers. Trent pointed out that the child in front of us was wearing a mask that had math problems written on it; a ridiculous teachable moment gone artsy. See below:
