Years ago, shortly after my parents were married, my mom bought framed prints of a man & a woman praying. She's mentioned them through the years, how the woman reminds her so much of her grandmother, and how one day she hopes her own grandchildren will remember her that way. Fast forward 42 years....still happily married, still loves these paintings. They have 12 grandchildren now. I thought it would be kind of fun to recreate those images, using my parents as the models. So one day I headed over to their house, one of my backdrop boards in tow, stopped by Fruchey Foods and picked up some bread & cheese on my way over. (I did call to make sure my dad hadn't shaved his beard off yet. Told him not to shave within the next hour or so, at least). I studied the lighting in the paintings. Found a good spot to shoot, with light coming from a window on one side, and from the sliding glass doors behind where I was shooting from. We put a dark brown blanket on
