Lynn and Sinan had very few requests for couple portraits, but one was to have a photo on the beautiful stairway at Hotel Le Prese.
As I reached my room on the second floor, I realized that - compared to the other options - the perspective from above would be the most interesting and least predictable.
In order to let them enjoy their time with their guests, we planned these portrait moments in a very relaxed way - just a few 5 to 10 minute slots here and there.
The direction was as simple as it gets: I gently asked them to walk down and tried not to disrupt their energy, which was so delicate yet powerful at the same time.
While the first picture is digital, the second was shot on kodak portra 400 film.
If you had to choose, which one would you pick?
