Opposites work well together…
In their quest to learn more about photography, and to improve their skills, Greg and Colleen met in their second semester of college, in a photography class they both were taking together. Recognizing each others unique talents, styles, and passions, they quickly found they had one thing in common – the desire to make a living doing what they love best. Working together for several semesters on class projects and assignments, Colleen decided to ask Greg for help shooting a wedding. They worked very well together, and enjoyed it so much that they decided to venture out, and begin their own photography business. The rest, as they say, is history. They’ve been “attached at the hip” ever since.
They work fabulously together, but ironically Colleen and Greg are polar opposites. This shows in how they work.
Greg is shy and quiet, and Colleen does all the talking. During the formal shots, Greg hides behind the camera and takes the photos, while Colleen directs and poses people. Colleen is a morning person, and Greg is a night owl. When one is hot, the other is certain to be cold. Greg is more technical, and Colleen has an overwhelming attention to detail. Greg loves landscape photography, so he tends to take wedding photos with a wide open scene, often incorporating the landscape into the photograph. Colleen on the other hand, loves taking the up-close detail shots.
Because they are opposites, they feed off of each others strengths. They work well together, and in their differing approaches and different visions, create a large variety of works of art that their clients love, cherish and wouldn’t be able to get from another photographer who only has one vision. It’s quite evident, that Colleen and Greg are perfect examples of that old saying…
Opposites really do attract!
Awwww…this is sooooo NICE.
