Include your environment to set the scene. Lovers on the dock just before they leap allowing room for water and sky provides a background for the people in this visual story. If the scenery allows, I don’t zoom in close because I like my environment in the frame to help complete the story. © Meredith Winn GIVE ME SPACEĬomposition rules location. It might be tenderness or strength, light or dark it can be created without a face, and it speaks to all of us. I really strive to show the emotion of our humanness, something universal that connects us all as human beings. It’s what catches your eye in a photo: the relationship between two humans, the gentleness of hands cupping nature. I find that it anchors memory to emotion and then acts as the trigger to keep the viewer lingering while looking at photographs. Often, my inspiration for creating this type of portrait is to remember a specific thing from a moment. I’m finding that it somehow carries me through the harder times. These days, I’m being mindful of letting my photos gather up the breeze of lightness and love. Images can act as breadcrumbs, the trail of clues to lead you back to a place of peace. I allow my photography to remind me of how I’m feeling in the moment. Small things, yes, like a barefoot garden exploration or the chipped nail polish of a toddler learning about growth. I attempt to document these pockets of joy within life’s reality. Images that reveal the lightness are my passion. I want to remember being joyful, and photography helps me do that. When we can see ourselves in someone else’s photograph, we’re drawn to feel the emotion of an image. These types of faceless portraits rank among my favorite because they connect the viewer with photographer as they create short stories from imagery.
These are the details that anchor story to image-the relationship between two humans and the way their hands clasp, the femininity found in fabric or how the wind catches a hemline at 7 p.m.
It lures you in with bits and pieces that make up the whole. There’s a story behind every faceless portrait.
