When we meet our couples for their consultations, we always take some time to chat them up and see what they’re all about. We’re interested in knowing them as people and gaging what aspect of photography is important to them. So when we met Sandra and Kevin last year and they told us they wanted something different for their photography, we tucked that away in the corner of minds. Its always awesome to work with couples who are really invested it making great images because they’ll go the extra mile. And boy, did they ever!
See, a few months ago I got this zany idea of doing a shoot right under the Turcot Interchange. Its been panned in Montreal as a real mess of a highway in terms of its layout and from an urban planning standpoint. There are those who will call it downright ugly but Tim’s always found it strangely beautiful. There is something fascinating in the criss-crossing concrete, especially since it won’t be around much longer – supposedly there are plans to tear it down. So Tim and I just knew we had to do a shoot there and we knew Kevin and Sandra were the ones for it!
Now Kevin and Sandra deserve kudos not just because they were up for something unconventional but because they agreed to our crazy proposal of starting the shoot at the crack of dawn. That meant a 5 am start! We caught some dramatic sky, soft light and had the streets all to ourselves. After the we left the Turcot interchange, we headed downtown, where it was eerily empty, to capture images that we wouldn’t able to do in the middle of the day. Kevin and Sandra, you guys rock for agreeing to our crazy ideas! Here’s our favorites from the shoot:
