Danelle Bohane is a wedding photographer, educator and a real force in our industry; her storytelling is emotional, honest and captured from a place of heart and generosity. To me, Danelle’s approach is inspiring because she is able to hone in and capture a couple’s connection to one another and their families with sensitivity, curiosity and respect. 

Danelle is a true artist at work and I encourage you to immerse yourself in her world as she shares her approach to storytelling.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Danelle focuses on capturing connection through visual narrative, considering story-telling elements such as chapters, main characters, scene setting and locations including weather, the main story-line and sub storyline. 
  • Add dimension and juxtaposition to your images by playing with your lens choice; consider how wide you shoot an image (ie on a 24mm) and then the counterpoint such as a close up detail shot that is tightly cropped. 
  • Storytelling becomes more powerful when you harness your personal sensitivities, history and experiences in life to tell your couples story. Your approach as a photographer is a sum of all your parts and the relationships around you. 
  • Some of our biggest learnings and some of our best moments come from a place of imperfection. 

Thank you for listening to the Life and Lens podcast.
