Landscape/Portrait
Mike,
I didn't mention that he wants to shoot the pics at the same park, surrounding the state capitol where his wedding pictures were done (a romantic!). So we have the location down pat. There aren't any bridges, unfortunately. But that is a great idea. This will be a surprise for his wife so we don't have her insight.
Steven,
As I mentioned above, the park has a special significance to the family. I am comfortable with landscapes, I love to do them and have done many and none of them included Ronald McDonald, but that's a thought.
Michael,
The client mentioned Monet, but he also stated that he really doesn't know what he wants. I think it will be up to me to present him with a few ideas. I did tell him though, that I was not an impressionistic painter; I can paint a loose pretty landscape (did in the past and sold it), but that I didn't do my portraits of people like that, and really if that is what he wanted he would be better off going with an artist who paints in that style. I agree with you on that point Michael.
I also plan to capture their likeness without being too tight or close up. I showed him a portfolio of my portraits and also of my landscapes and he liked them. I think the biggest challenge here will be coming up with a great composition and not just have them look like they are standing around.
