Wedding Photojournalism by Alan Abrams - Long Island Wedding Photographer
Here are some “Behind the Scenes” images from our shoot with Lauren and Russell….
Laying down on the job
“Why do I feel like we’re being watched?”
Groupies!
Not mine, Silke’s…..she has fans everywhere we go.
“Is this thing on?”
“Sorry to bother you guys, but can you help me with this?”
Silke has this way of shedding light on any problem we encounter…
So Rebecca is getting ready for college…..a big step step in a girls life. It’s also a big step in any parent’s life, sending their child off into the cold, cruel world. This is a time when all parents have concerns about their child’s future.
My main concern? Packing for school? Nope.
Making sure she has everything she needs to survive in the world. Nope.
College loans and tuition bills? Nope.
You know what I’m concerned about. My main concern is squeezing this last month of photos out of her before we ship her off to school. Who says I don’t have my priorities in order?
You see, Becca is my favorite model.
Not because she sits there patiently while I snap away…..she doesn’t.
Not because she jumps at the chance to get her picture taken at the mere mention of it….she doesn’t do that either.
It’s because I love taking pictures of her.
When she cooperates (which isn’t very often), she is a wonderful model. Very pretty and extremely photogenic. (she’s gonna kill me when she sees this).
Anyway, we’re outside the other day. I’m practicing for an upcoming photo session by playing around with some off-camera lighting. I set everything up and point the camera at her. She turns away.
I wait. (we play this game ALL the time)
Finally, she gives up and lets me snap a few shots. Nothing special.
She looks away and I pounce! That’s when it happens…..and that’s why she’s my favorite model.
CLICK!
We’ve been lax in updating the blog these last few weeks. We’re growing at a fast rate and it’s been a little hectic on the business side of things. To make it even worse, I’ve been under the weather and haven’t been able to get out and do much. The good news is that I’m starting to feel a little better and should be back to my usual antics in no time at all.
One thing I like about having pets is that there’s always somebody to take photos of or test lighting technique on. Timbo, is my favorite subject because he just sits there and stares at you……especially when he’s hungry. That was the case today when I managed to grab a few shots of him. I’m actually starting to think he enjoys posing for the camera.
