remember when i said the people from
stocksy sometimes
suggest what to shoot?
i was gonna do a gay-themed series of photos, but there wasn't
necessarily an inspiration board for this, so i thought, why not just do
the moodboard for couples?
here's what the editors of stocksy think are good couple photos.
great, right? i thought, those are mostly young (except for one)
white (except for one) hetero (except for two?) couples. what if just
try to recreate those moments, but with a gay black couple? (photo
above, they're models of course, and may or may not be gay in real
life). i was curious to see if they'll be perceived to be just as romantic (not at all? even more so?).

but then there were just so many hours in a session and i ran out of steam, so i continued the next day with another pair of models (photo above).
the results, plus a lot of variations (i tend to veer off path when shooting), are in this
gallery (first day) and this
gallery (second day). they're not all there yet as i'm still going through the photos and might actually do a third day of shoot for the set-ups that i missed, but they'll end up in those galleries.
this, for example, is a lame attempt at "a touch to the lips" - i should've gone closer, over the shoulder of the guy touching the other, more intimate - ah well.
and this, which i like, is a combination of "love at every age" and "roof".
