Le Quattro Stagioni (A Portrait Photography)

For us, portrait photography is not just clicking a picture of a person smiling in front of a camera. Each image should delve into the essence of that person – the life, the joy or melancholy, the personality and thoughts. We love reinventing and experimenting without veering away from a person's personality.
After our test shoot with Cristianne and her mom weeks ago, we had our portrait set with her last Saturday in her apartment. Inspired by the poem “The Four Seasons” by Antonio Vivaldi, we tried to create a theme for spring, summer, fall and winter (with the help of her wardrobe).

 

 

These other pictures depict more of her mood and her love for music.

Thanks Cristianne for sharing with us a piece of your life and for trusting us. May God bless you always.

How Do Say "Beautiful" in Brazil

This Brazilian stunner is a natural when posing in front of the camera. We just love shooting her and her Mum who was visiting Dubai for a few weeks.

Her Mum couldn’t speak English too well but it didn’t stop us from understanding each other. Cristiane was kind enough to interpret everything we say to her Mum. Her smile is contagious and her playfulness is cute. Here she is playing with our umbrella.

We love our job because we meet and know a lot of wonderful people. They become our friends and we leave lasting memories to each other.

Our New Avatars

These are our new avatars. David and Tetch gave us our fun and new aliases - the paparazzi and the mamarazzi. Hehehe! Quite cool. We like 'em. So watch out, the paparazzi and mamarazzi are in town. Just smile when we point the camera at you!

Portrait of Music

How do you photograph music?
This family reminds me of the Von Trapp Family from the classic movie The Sound of Music. The kids are all talented and smart. It was fun taking their photos..like listening to your favorite music.
