David and Wife


Waited a while before posting this as I was working with a client to create this photo and I wanted him to see the print before he saw the digital version.

It was a challenge working with a client that had a specific idea of how he wanted the photo to be done and still create a piece that works well in my current portfolio. It was also a lot of fun creating a triptych as well. Composition changes greatly when dealing with 3 individual works that need to have a strong look when displayed both individually and as a group. What I loved most about working on this piece though was the flexibility that a triptych gave when working with color. This allowed multiple colors for the background across these pieces and gave me some play in tying the pieces together by crossing colors from one piece into the other. Also the fact that the color is slightly different in the middle piece helps to draw the focus to the center photo which is the more dramatic out of the three.
