Kevin And Angelina

BW02

Kiss

Our good friends Kevin and Angelina, after two and a half years here in Ireland, are moving back to California at the end of the week. Before they leave, Angelina asked me to take some portraits of them and I jumped at the chance to have willing subjects (other than poor Eve who thinks her mother looks like a Canon lens) to practise my portrait-taking on. I’ve wanted to take photographs down on Sandymount beach for ages so I suggested we try it out as a location and, although the bright sunlight made it a challenge to find angles where they weren’t forced to squint, I’m happy with how they turned out. It was a lot of fun too.

We’re really going to miss them both when they leave. Who is Matt going to talk computers with? And who am I going to talk blogging with?!

A little cheesy? Maybe, but this is my attempt at a Tara Whitney shot and I kind of like it:

    Great shots–flattering to both subjects and capturing their affection for each other

    They’re really lovely shots. I bet they don’t think the last one’s cheesy

    Indeed, the shots are lovely. I bet it’s easier to take photos of people you really like. Cause I think the photographer’s view shines through.

    Thanks everyone, what you say is true Omani, it’s very easy to take photos of people I like as much as these two.
