A Portrait Request From My Nan

So my nan came up to me today and asked me if i could take a contemporary portrait of her and my gramps together, as it happened i had just that week built a small studio in my kitchen and i was immensely happy to oblige her request.

My studio was far too small for too people so ended up taking two images one of each of them and joining them together, this meant that i had to pose the two individually but make them look like they were having their photo done together. This was a real challenge and i decided to be a little more creative and to try and bring out the personalities in each of them, for example my gramps has this very old fashion manly man façade but underneath he is a loving and caring man so i tried to bring that out in the image. My nan on the other hand is very much the amazing traditional house wife, she will do anything for anyone and put everyone else before herself and so i really wanted to bring across her loving and giving spirt in the final image.

I hope i have done this justice and below is the image.
