Kerri & James: Where Being Photogenic Is An Understatement

Rummaging through my archives again yielded one of my favorite planned shoots to date, simply because there was no pressure, and by jove, did these two know how to naturally work it for the camera. They make any budding photographer’s life a breeze and I do look forward to being able to maybe do a shoot for either of them again in the near future.

For the record, James and Kerri aren’t actually a couple, other than both being personal friends of mine. To date, they are arguably still the two most photogenic people I personally know. To everyone else I know, please don’t take any offence as I probably just haven’t photographed you yet to decide… =)

Being able to go back through my archives and finding shots like this does make me wonder what the fuss is about all the latest and greatest camera gear. I myself got lost and bought myself a brand spanking new camera that will likely financially choke me for a while to come, but I digress. My point being, I was able to take shots like this with much simpler gear than I have today. Why can’t I do so anymore, and to my dear readers, why can’t you? =)

I have fond memories of this shoot, and the people involved in it. And it puts a smile when I am reminded of the mishaps too, including one shot where I have my face completely white-d out with the light of a full powered flash unassumingly triggered by a dear friend. I vaguely remember having a darn good laugh, not to mention temporary blindness and seeing stars for a bit. All in the spirit of good photographic fun.

Note to self: Always remember to have fun…

To James and Kerri, I thank you sincerely for reminding me of another high in my photographic journey.
