He seems to be contemplating his future with some degree of melancholia . . . or maybe his shoes were pinching Smile

Love the rendition and the bokeh, but as already noted you've not managed to engage and catch him with an optimistic or positive expression and the compositions are only exaggerating this further.

I'm not sure either is an image that any bride or groom would naturally place into a wedding album. With the second one in particular, the composition places him looking out of the frame through the closest edge - it's almost as if you're deliberately saying that he's looking away from a bright and sparkling life that's now behind him, towards an unseen and uncertain future that's outside the frame of his current life. All very interesting, but perhaps not wedding orientated!

I don't know the families involved, but the cliche would suggest that this is what his mother may be feeling about her son marrying, and his new mother-in-law will certainly be seeing this narrative in the image.


Looking at your images, I'm tempted to suggest that the Trioplan is the perfect lens for image composites. Getting the dreamy background from the chain curtains using the Trioplan, but using a lens with less obvious softness for the main subject. The second shot, minus the groom and that one piece of soap bubble bokeh over his head, is a backdrop that would have a significant appeal if you chose to market it within a digital background package.

For my taste the shots are too soft and show too little contrast. The bokeh is.... well... different.

He's getting married? Shouldn't he be happy? Crying or Very sad

I like the images - especially the Trioplan bokeh Smile
I think the man looks serious. Marriage is a serious thing. One could have fun, but the it is one of the decisions that have a live-long impact.

Won't you re-post the images, bernhardas? They were nice examples of Trioplan portraits.
