So how did we do?
The Boston Public Library
While visiting my friend, Jonathan, at his new home in Boston, Massachusetts, we were finally able to orchestrate the stranger shoot we've been planning for months. Jonathan is one of my favorite models, a natural in front of the camera, so he was my first choice to make this happen.
The Shoot
We finally found the perfect candidate via Tinder and met up with Camilo at the Boston Public Library. The library was a dreamy location with just the energy we were looking for. I was so proud of these two men for 1) acting so comfortable in front of the camera with a complete stranger and beautifully pulling off the couple charade. 2) Doing all that in a public place, in front of other strangers! These guys pulled it off so well that multiple people congratulated them on their "engagement."
I really don't think any stranger shoot in history has gone as perfectly as this one.
“Now, as we stand three feet apart and stare at each other, I feel the full distance that comes with spending so much time apart, a moment filled with the electricity of a first meeting and the uncertainty of strangers.”
A Real Fairytale
This shoot was a wonderful opportunity to see the city, enjoy the history, and create beautiful imagery. I think we did a great job of creating the illusion of a comfortable romance between two strangers. And for those of you wondering, yes, the two did go on a date after the shoot! When you hang out with photographers, you get to meet wonderful people, and perhaps ignite a new romance.
