TheImage,Deconstructed_Sanchez
When looking through the different photos on The Image, Deconstructed website, I automatically noticed the bright colors of the woman's dress and the way her Fiance held her so tight. It reminded me of the classic Life photo taken in the early 1900's, with the sailor and nurse.
What surprised me about the photo was that this was the photographer's Rachel Mummey's last shot. She was originally looking to shoot Dads who haven't seen their children since they have been gone, but instead captured this moment.
Mummey, also expressed that by her being patient and standing still in a chaotic, crowded area, she can view things clearer. I thought this was interesting because that is typically what you see some photographers doing, they will go with the tide of the crowd instead of watching and observing those special moments.
She also expressed by asking questions and talking to your possible subject can create and not force moments to happen right in front of your lens.
" Let the moments happen in front of you"-Rachel Mummey

I love this picture! The lighting is perfect and reflects great off the bright dress. It grabs a persons attention.
