Street Photography - Our Country, Our People

-

Capturing the essence of a scene and more specifically a person is not always an easy thing to do. This photo was taken on the Brian Lara Promenade in Port of Spain, Trinidad. 

 The main subject was really just the side show, as I was there to photograph the winners of the Junior Calypso Monarch 2017 as they performed their winning songs. 

My eyes caught this beautiful lady as she enjoyed the music.

Maybe she was a returning resident of Trinidad and Tobago or even a just a visitor to our country for the Carnival season. Perhaps I will meet her one day and she will tell me her story. But for now I am left to guess at the meaning of the two nations flags.

The Wedding Details

The tiny details are so very important to wedding photography. The rings, the dress, flowers, makeup closeups....and more!! The photo captured above of the wedding rings is an important symbol for every bride and groom of the vows that they are about to take. This reflection of a brides first look at her freshly applied make is a must as well. A look of happiness, anticipation, excitement. These are the simple joys of capturing the story of every couple. No two are the same. Each one special and unique in its own way.

Hindu Weddings

I found this wedding photo quite interesting. The lush tropical backdrop paired with the regal Hindu wedding wear made for a contrasting combination. What a fabulous couple!!! They had their wedding ceremony and reception at The Magdalena Grand Beach Resort in Tobago and their portraits were taken on the grounds of the hotel.....which is also a golf course. I have to say that these photos turned out really stunning with the mix of red and green on the colour palette resulting in unique photographs. What do you think?
