“A photograph is a secret about a secret” is a famous quote from the also famous photographer Diane Arbus. Meeting Rachel is also like meeting someone who is both revealing and has such depth to her I can’t imagine how long it would take to truly know her. I always have the feeling with Rachel that I am both in on the secret and have barely scratched the surface. Rachel is one of our interns and I’ve loved every minute of getting to know her. She communicates with ease the most complex of emotions and I often find myself staring at her thinking “Who are you? You charming captivating puzzle. She is one of those people that my new age friends would say has lived many lifetimes and I hope that this lifetime falls at her feet.
Here are some of the images that I just love of one of our intern shoots. I had such an awesome time mentoring Rachel and Claudia.
Cheers to unexpected delights! Suzanne
Can you feel it?
Hi my name is Rachel and I am a new intern for Shewanders! I am extremely excited to be able to write for the Shewanders blog and share my love of photography through written words.
It is common for me to feel a great wave of emotions while I look through photographs, but rarely do I cry. Looking through Drew and Johannas photographs moved me to tears as I don’t think I have ever felt so much love and connection through a photograph. Maybe weddings just make me emotional, but there is truly a incredible uniqueness to these people and their families that pulled hard on my heartstrings.
