Lifestyle Photography Series

 

There is something about photographing people in their natural habitat. I think that candid photographs speak volumes about a person or persons. So what is a lifestyle photography series you may be asking yourself? Well, the answer is simple. This series will explore people in their natural habitat. Think of it like Humans of New York, only this is different.

Lifestyle

Taking a candid shot of participating persons allows me to capture their inner truths. For example, this is an image of my wife waking up last Sunday morning. She’s used to me taking photographs of her and if you notice her mouth, she is basically saying, “Really Brandon? I just woke up!” But there’s more to this image.

Stories

She was up all night, very sick and I let her sleep in. But as the sun came pouring into the bedroom and she sat up in bed, to me, she looked absolutely stunning. I just had to capture her. The story here is “Woken by the sunlight.” But as I mentioned above, there’s more to it. And it leaves it up to the viewer to decide what the story is.

We all have inner secrets that we don’t tell people. The goal of this series is to capture participants in their natural state, no posing, no coaching, just simple states of being. We will see people in their kitchens, people with their children or partners, people doing their everyday errands, etc. In the end, you decide what their inner secrets are.

There is nothing more special than being able to tell someone’s story through pictures, and with this series, we will be exploring exactly that, secrets and all. So stay tuned for more, and in the meantime, what kind of story would your candid photo tell?
