Celebrating LOVE

Celebrating LOVE is a new project in my photography which started with images of these 2 beautiful people, Jax&Ryan. The aim of this project is creating a series of images showing affection, capturing intimate moments between 2 people who are furtunate to be in LOVE.
When I asked Jax&Ryan if they'd let me to photograph them - even in intimate situations - I was very excited to see them love the idea. Of course we all like when someone takes pretty pictures of us with our partner or on our own, but it is not all that easy when you find yourself in a room where the camera is constantly pointing at you..
I am not good at posing people - definitely something I am willing to work on -, so I tried not to direct Jax&Ryan during the shoot, or at least tried to keep it to the bare minimum. I wanted to create a bunch of photographs which are reflecting THEM, their feelings, their everydays. The following sets of photographs are showing this best I think and I hope you will enjoy them.
Extra special thanks to Kenny Kim, who is a fantastic photographer and without his help I wouldn't have got my hands on the brilliant Totally Rad Photoshop Actions which helped me make these photographs look their best!
