The passion photography exudes.

On a way too early morning after a crazy St. Partick's Day a good friend of mine and I went in the studio just to have fun. Despite having a massive hangover Natalie was working the camera, and it was exciting. It had been a while since I had had someone that was having as much fun infront of the camera as i was having behind it. Natlie was willing to try anything and let me use as many rolls of film I wanted (for artistic purpose).
While we were shooting I felt there was something missing, so I asked Natalie if she minded if I called my friend Blake to come up and shoot with us. She had never met Blake but knew i had takin photos of him before and she enjoyed those shots so she said sure why not! Well Blake agree to come to the studio and before youknow it I'm asking him to take off his shirt and lie down on the table. Blake didn't question he just hopped on the table, I look at natalie and said "stand over him Nata" she gave me this look like "really" and then proceeded to climb over him.
The moment they were next to eachother it was as if they had been lovers for years. The stares exchanged in the photos were so real and convinceing I was almost uncomfortable. It felt like I walked into a very intimate moment that that is shared between two people whom are madly in love.
It was one of the most exciting things for a photographer to not have to tell there model to "relax" or "have fun". It was almost as if Natalie and Blake felt and saw the photo I was gonna take before I took it. As a photographer you hope to take pictures that move people as much as it moves you. It was like I caught there souls on film, not them. It's a great feeling to see the passion you feel for your work on the faces of your models, knowing that when other people see these photos that they WILL feel something. I want them to feel almost uncomfortable and bothered, and not because of the content but because they feel like THEY are walking in on a very passionate moment between lovers who forgot to lock the front door.
Photography exudes passion and film is unforgiving and if you dont believe me, I dare you to take the chance with10 rolls of film and one fit of unexpected,unadultrated,sexy,orgainic moment of passion and I bet you a beautiful moment WILL be captured.
