One of the things I love LOVE most about my job, is that people like different things. And when people like different things, I get to do different things. I am so grateful that there are places like Vintage Motors, otherwise I wouldn't get to see so many cool motorcycles in one place. And I am especially grateful for fun and creative people like Kristen and Collin! They didn't want a lot of images, just them on a bike similar to the Charles and Ray Eames image of them on a bike. I did convince them to go outside and do some more, but just briefly.
I love this image, I thought about taking out the ceiling and wall. But I liked the "acting" quality and thought having the other parts of the room added to the "set up" feel, which I totally loved.
When I first met Kristen, like 3 or 4 years ago now... My brain is seriously distracted with that number... Anyway, I've always thought how great it would be to photograph her! And I cannot say how hard it was to hide my excitement when she emailed and asked if I would be interested in doing this - except that it was email. And it is hard to express excitement without voice intonation or the visual of me jumping up and down, so really it was easy. But what was even better was how excited they were!
I love this image!
They are such a nice couple! Hanging out with them for an hour kind of felt like a relaxed afternoon with friends - love it when that happens!
