“Nothing Else Matters.“
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR
Another old image of mine, I was pretty nervous about this one as I believe it was my first engagement session. I totally did not know what I was doing back then nor did I know what to do with the couple.
One thing I eventually learned is that personally for me, the magic happens when you let the couple interact with each other and have fun with the shoot. After talking with this couple for a while, they eventually relaxed and started joking around, having fun.
I was still in the same situation however; I wasn’t sure about what I was going to do for the shoot. The couple was standing there waiting for me to tell them what to do.
And I was on the verge of a meltdown.
To give myself more time, I told them to hold each other’s hands while walking away from me.
Saying a quick prayer to the big guy up above for inspiration, I put the camera to my eye and hoped the shot would turn out.
And this is what I saw in the lcd.
=D

great shot marc! and i hate those awkward panicked moments. this post of yours shows that photography isn’t all about just taking pictures.. it’s how you can also manipulate your subject, so you can take great pictures.
ONE OF MY FAVORITE pics of yours Marc!
I actually like it when you’re nervous heading to a session, simply because that brings out the very best of your work!!! Still, for me, you do GREAT each time!
AW, Marc. I love this picture, too – thank you for an amazing engagement photoshoot!!
