UCLA Magazine (the official alumni magazine of the University of California, Los Angeles) did this story on several alum who met and fell in love at UCLA – for the February (Valentine’s Day) issue. My assignment / duty was to photograph 3 of the featured couples. In my initial conversations with Creative Director, Charlie Hess, we both agreed that thematically and stylistically, the three images needed to jibe together. As in most of my work I needed to make things difficult on myself. “Portraits” weren’t going to cut the cake, so I suggested we put the subjects in environments that said something about the love birds. Sparky and Michelle, avid wine tasters. See?
