Taking colour away changes the weight of a portrait.

The frame works because the body language is doing the speaking. Nothing needs to be pushed very hard when the connection is already visible.

For Alberta engagement photography and couples sessions, I look for simple direction, honest posture, and locations that help people feel like themselves rather than like they are performing for a camera.
