Dramatic B&W [ Week 13 - I heart faces challenge ]

This is Elizabeth and Justin. I choose this photo for this week's I heart faces challenge.(http://www.iheartfaces.com/) I think it's dramatic on it's own, fresh out of the camera. From the way he's holding her so tight, to the look on his face, to the tattoos that seem to fit perfectly together when he's holding her that way. My first edit of one of these shots from this session I decided to do in color. I liked the vibrant colors of the tattoos, so I thought it was important to show that in the image. When I saw this week's challenge my mind went back to this photo, and I thought maybe just maybe it would be even MORE powerful in just black and white. and I think I was right:) I really love this image in black and white, with the dramatic lines. I feel like it draws you into the moment more, the heart and soul of the moment. Oh how I love shooting people in LOVE! This is my first I heart faces challenge, but I look foward to more! This was fun! and I'm all about finding ways to learn more about myself as an artist. Sometimes doing things from another perspective, or a diffferent point of view can really inspire new internal growth. We can learn so much from each other, if we just open up our minds, the possibilities are endless.
