Engagement Photoshoot in a Lisbon Garden | Sofia + João

This type of work is, without a doubt, the one that takes me the most out of my comfort zone within photography. The idea of me guiding someone so that they are relaxed and act spontaneously, at the same time that I have a camera pointed at them, also makes me nervous and not knowing what to do. On the other hand, and this is exactly what excites me, it is an opportunity to find and develop my method of photographing in this type of context. For now, what I've noticed works is, together with the couple, we imagine that the session is a film, they are the actors and I am “filming” them. The idea is that they never look at the camera (that they even forget about it, ideally) and that they find a narrative between them that makes them interact continuously. Having achieved this, my concern is to find plans that communicate this interaction well and beautifully.
