This weekend I was printing up some re-prints of this photograph, one of my favorites from a couple of sessions we did with these three sisters recently.  Although a little more ‘formal’ than much of my work I love this composition as it frames the lovely ladies so well within the frame and provides a connection between the three of them with their hands on their shoulders.  The other factor for me in why I liked this is that we decided to print and tone this as a black and white print.  Personally as much as I love color and I will often say that’s how I see the world, yet in many ways black and white prints often has more of a impact. To me it it requires the viewer to think about the print much more a color print where people often get a little distracted by the colors. 

The original photograph was printed and framed as a beautiful 20×26 wall portrait.  This was given as a gift to their father and he completely loved it.  Nothing better than hearing that people love your work!
