Husband/wife composition

[Will Enns]

Hi everyone,

I have a couple coming to discuss the possibility of a husband/wife portrait comission. They are quite impressed with my work, so I don't think it need be a hard sell, but I was hoping to present them with some compositional possibilites.

They will be quite open minded to my suggestions, but I was hoping to offer ideas that are artistically sound.

I've browsed a fair part of the SOG main site, and have found very few husband/wife portraits, and none that stood out to me especially, although I've not had time to go through all of them.

Are there some simple guidelines one should follow that apply to husband/wife compositions?

And are there any good examples of which you might be aware?

Thanks in advance,
Will
