Original subtitles

In that same place there was a Datsun, or an old Jetta,

(I honestly don't remember the brand)

We entered into this dilemma...

I told them that I would like for them to be sit on the roof,

someone was there and we didn't know if go for it or not.

We didn't know if maybe the car was for sale...

So, we said: "Fuck it, let's go up".

We made this same image from 3 different distances:

Middle distance, full plane and "so fucking far away".

I liked the simplicity, I liked their attitude.

This whole session was more about capturing their essence

and, I will be honest with you, when we had the appointment with them

we went for luch

and I thought that after the lunch they will go to change their clothes.

I felt it was going to be a more formal session and...

and at first, I struggled myself with entering in this

"relaxed session" mood:

Wearing jeans, the keychain hanging, with "Back to Future" sneakers...

... everything was very subtle.

Back to basics: It is so easy to have this expectations

on how your clients should be or what should they wear.

Flow with them, from the location they suggest

to the clothes they wear,

And it is amazing what you can achieve when you break

your own idea of how a session should be.

This case was a big lesson for me.

To handle the expectations but to adapt the reality.

For me this reality was...

when I saw the final result I thought:

I have to break my own rules every time I can.

In that same yard there was an adobe little house,

we got in and we were investigating what was there.

I really like that type of wall, but...

adobe and graffiti it's not very cool.

We found this stair... I am a big fan of stairs

because of my idol Rodney Smith, I have seen this in many of his photos.

And we were loading the stairs to see where the hell to put it,

it was a little heavy, to be honest.

We finally found a place with a clean wall.

I played for a while with cutting their heads,

the background was enough.

Then we played with the whole body

and they were very casual and relaxed.

This whole session was more like and editorial session

and I liked it, I liked that creative line.

And at the end of the afternoon the sun was going down,

the light was more blue and we found a viewpoint.

We walked all those distances, we didn't explore.

Everything was random and improvised.

We found this tiny hill

and we went up.

To change the angle, there was this field

with dry bushes

and we had the chance to be at the top of a fence.

The Great Roberto helped me not to fall.

The idea there was to have a top angle.

We made a sequence of them walking.

And to conclude...

there was also this metal line,

We sat down,

the camera was almost at ground level

to have only few elements: they are seated, talking...

concrete, yellow lines at the background:

a very simple little moment.

Something interesting about photos is...

... trying to see them as a painter.

If we remove the couple, it still is an interesting composition.

Always see that.

The composition on your photos it does not have to be saturated with elements.

We can learn to clean, to find a clean background,

a real an authentic action, a simple emotion

and the photo is enough.

As you can see in this whole session

the composition went to secondary priority.

It was not such an artistic or creative session

as others we have made for you,

But we have to adapt to everything.

be able to have this muscle memory

with which you can domain the camera whenever you are,

that the client directs towards where we are going,

and ask them: "how they are? what do they like?"

so that the emotion and vibe

reflects who they really are when they see the photos

and not something not authentic for them

even if the photo is amazing, they should be reflected in their photos.

See you guys! (with January booger and all)

Let's do this. Thank you!.
