I'm currently working on my gallery called "a thousand words". The concept? I approach strangers (mostly couples) and ask if I can take a few photos of them. My goal is to capture an image of the couple, review that image and ask what is the first word that comes to mind. 

I'm using a technique that was taught from an amazing photographer named Jerry Ghionis. Where you combine classical portrait poses with a photojournalistic flare. For instance, I may ask a couple give each other a hug. But I'll proceed to ask personal questions or unique requests like ask "How did you propose?" Or I'll ask one of them to whisper in the other's ear "What was going through their mind when they first laid eyes on their significant other" At that very moment, I capture that shot. It's always a great experience for me and the couple. Plus they get to name the image which I send back to them. 

For the couple Andrew+Novie below, they named their images "WARMTH"

Enjoy.
