As a storyteller, my enjoyment of art and photography goes beyond just the visual, encompassing many of the body's sensory experiences. Although not actually there, my imagination always wanders, triggering my curiosity about the many sensations experienced during the shooting process. This is especially potent with outside and location shoot.
When enjoying images taken during the summer, I can almost feel the sun's heat hitting the skin. When spending time with images taken at the beach, I imagine the smell of the salt water and feel of the hot sand and cold ocean water on the body and the sound of the waves crashing into shore. When featuring a winter shoot, I shiver at the thought of the models skin hitting the cold rocks and ground, and the surface of the skin starting to freeze when in contact with snow.
With an Autumn shoot, in addition to the heat from the sun and the crispness in the air, it's all about sound and texture. When out in the woods in the late fall, you hear each footstep, each movement when the dry leaves are stepped on and begin to disintegrate. You can hear the crack of branches in the distance and the aroma of moist moss and leaves floats in the air.
