Black & Light

I've always wanted to do a black and white shoot with my wife. Just the two of us — simple, timeless, and honest. It was one of those ideas that lingered in my head for some time waiting for the right moment. And last week, we finally had it. We had some free time; no work or errands to run and we thought, “This is the day!”

I set up the camera on a tripod and connected it to my phone for remote shooting. You'll probably catch me holding the phone in a few of the shots — those weren’t supposed to make the final cut, but they looked so good and, why not?

For lighting, I kept it simple: a single speedlight and umbrella, angled about 45 degrees above us. Nothing fancy, just a clean setup that brought out the textures and shadows I was aiming for.

And the space? Our lounge — white walls, a grey backdrop on one side (I didn’t design that, by the way lol). It actually works perfectly to soften the tv background on a regular day and for the shoot; the tones blended just right and gave the images a subtle depth that I like.

I’m honestly so proud of how these turned out. It’s more than just a photo session — it’s a snapshot of black love and light. I love the fact that we were rela…okay yea you got me, my wife was relaxed not me 😂. I have taken a million pictures of people but I´ll never get used of photographing myself. But doing this at home and in our space really helped.

Anyway, enough rambling. I hope you love the photos as much as I do…My wife does and that makes me smile 😊

Tschüss!
