IN CONVERSATION

Talking to one of my clients last week the subject of photography came up. Funny that! Anyway she asked me what I prefer to photograph? I replied people. She replied, I thought all you photographers would prefer to photograph the landscape?

This is my reason why I prefer to photograph people. God said in, Jeremiah 32:41. ” I will rejoice over them to do them good.” No where in the bible does God say he delights over the cloud capped mountains, but he does delight in the habitable parts of the earth, even angels don’t give his soul delight. That is why I photograph people, because we are more important to God than any other created thing and, I love getting to know people from all walks of life. It gives me great pleasure when my clients pick up their images, whether a wedding of family portraiture and they take great pleasure in seeing their family preserved for life in a photograph that is created with one thing, love.

Why did I post this image, you can’t see their faces? I hear a few of you saying. Well I wanted to use the sun as a metaphor, for God blessing the union of a man and woman in their act of love by getting married. A little too deep for some maybe, but when I photograph I’m always looking out for the image that will say more as you view it over and over. So that you can take delight in looking at your family. Just as God takes delight in you.
