Very warm, and it feels surprisingly relaxed.

This image was my favorite because it has such a nice feeling to it. The most successful images really left me with a sense of the person.

Nice vision by the photographer here. A great juxtaposition of the colorfully adorned groom against the monochromatic industrial scene.

Very arresting portrait. Nice light. This guy scares me a little.

Classic 1960s-feel.

Photographer's Comment

I don't usually plan my portraits too much beforehand, because I believe it will just flatten my creativity. I like to go with the flow so to speak. I think light is the single most important thing in a portrait and I always look for a good light. In this photo I saw that good moody light, positioned the groom in that light, framed it and took the photo.
