10|10 Circle June ‘Benjamin and Stephanie’

It’s the most wonderful time of the month. I’m talking about that time where I post ten of my pictures, then link through to the next person in our circle of happy photo taking and sharing. Unfortunately I missed last month due to ill planning from my side. But I’m happy to have my stuff in order for this round!

For this month I asked my brother and his girlfriend if I could shoot them. On beautiful Portra 400 by Kodak. As the name suggests, it’s made for portraits. Since I’ve never shot it before I was very curious as of how it would turn out. As you can see below it turned out pretty well and yes I’ve fell in love with this film. The look and feel of them are just amazing don’t you think?

Before we went out on our shoot, I got to the internet and looked at some work of a few photographers I like for inspiration. I took those ideas with me and tried to play around with it. In the process I found it a challenge to direct that into these photographs and still be able to capture this lovely couple as they are. They were pretty stoked judging from their reactions on the pics so I guess I succeeded more or less.
