Forty-Seventh Collection
This wedding location had a crazy lighting structure on the second floor. I felt it was best to make use of their silhouettes and light up the background to have it complement the red strips of light.
This image was taken at the Solihull Regency Hotel, Solihull UK. To get the shot I stood on the bed as the bridesmaids help the bride to put her dress on. I wanted to get a shot that showed the fun side to fit into a wedding dress, as the bride wanted to make sure she fitted into hers perfectly!! I angled the camera down from above to create the leaning back effect and set the lens to its widest (16mm) My camera gear was a Canon 5D, 16-35mm 2.8 lens ad f28, 1-100, on camera flash with a magmod bounce diffuser.
For some time now I had the idea to shoot a couple quite tiny amidst a big urban location. Central Station of the city of Rotterdam provided the ideal opportunity. Shot from a higher vantage point, with my assistant holding the flash provided the extra pop that made the couple stand out from the scenery.
