Hi! I wanted to share with you a current photography trend that has sparked my interest and is now influencing my work - Story to Vibe. This trend is less about rigid composition or capturing the 'perfect shot', and more about embracing the immediate feeling, the aesthetic of a vibe. It's about capturing the textures, locations, and styles that tell a story beyond the subjects themselves.

As with my journey in photography, this trend is not about sudden changes, but rather about gradual evolution. It began with direct flash photography, a technique that was once considered a faux pas but is now being appreciated for its raw and candid feel. The use of direct flash brings a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of analog photography, where each shot was precious and authenticity was paramount.

But it doesn't stop with direct flash. The trend also emphasizes the importance of textures, locations, and styles. The texture of a bride's lace gown against the rough brick of an old building, the style of an intimate backyard wedding contrasted with the grandeur of a cathedral venue, the locations that speak as much of the couple's journey as their portraits - all of these elements come together to create a vibe, a story that is unique to each set of photographs.

In my work, I always strive to capture the essence of an event, the emotion of the moment. With this trend, I feel that I can take this approach a step further. It's not just about documenting the event, but about capturing the vibe, the ambiance. It's about creating a visual narrative that resonates on a deeper level, that tells a story not just of the event, but of the emotions, the atmosphere, the candid and fleeting nuances that make each wedding, each portrait session, unique.

This trend allows me to incorporate all the elements I love about photography - the authenticity of candid shots, the elegance of editorial work, and the narrative power of documentary photography. It's a trend that I believe is here to stay, and I am excited to share and explore this approach with you.

Photography has always been more than just a profession for me, it's a medium through which I express my artistry. And with this trend, I feel I can do so in a way that is even more authentic, even more reflective of the stories I aim to tell. So let's embrace the vibe together and create something beautiful and deeply meaningful.
