Documentary Coverage, Album Design
One evening, one lens, no flash. The work here is about staying close enough to feel the room and far enough not to change it.
A single evening in Sonoma, photographed almost entirely at ISO 6400. The couple asked for coverage that would not interrupt the room, so the kit was reduced to one body and one lens.
Coverage
Available light throughout, including the reception
Close working distance, wide lens, no direction given
Delivered as a 60-frame edit and a hand-bound album
Almost nothing here was posed. The strongest frames came from staying in one place long enough for people to forget the camera was there.
Selected Frames
The first dance, available light
