What’s on your Bucket List?
Have you thought about your “Bucket List” lately?
Now might be a good time but in the current situation it may need some tweaking.
Most of us have one that we think about from time to time and add to on occasions but don’t often get around to actioning.
But that’s exactly what Paul did.
Life’s Landmarks
Paul was approaching a milestone birthday and had some ideas of how he would celebrate it.
But with our lifestyles having changed so much lately nothing quite fitted.
What would you do to celebrate a special occasion?
Perhaps you would throw a big party inviting all your family and friends?
Not possible at the moment.
Or maybe just arrange a family gathering?
Not so easy with social distancing and households not allowed to congregate together.
Perhaps you would be tempted to book a once in a lifetime trip with your spouse/partner/best mate?
Travel is difficult and unpredictable right now.
Another Idea
There was something on Paul’s Bucket List that would suit the occasion and was well within reach - a portrait photoshoot.
Even in these challenging times of social distancing by shooting outside we met all the guidelines.
Location
Paul and I met at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking. The autumn colours were just starting to reveal themselves and created a perfect backdrop.
That’s where we are so lucky living in the UK. There are loads of great locations close-by and, no matter what the season, there is always somewhere beautiful to shoot.
The weather was (luckily!) perfect. Bright with light cloud, maybe a tiny bit chilly but nothing we couldn’t handle.
It took a little time for Paul to relax in front of the camera and for his smiley self to come through, but we got there.
Paul got his portrait to print, his photos to share with family and friends and some new pics for his social media profiles.
It might be that you feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and that’s okay. All the best people do!! And we can overcome this to get your best side recorded for posterity.
Have a think about what pictures you would like to achieve and then get in touch so together we can make this happen for you.
Now could be the perfect time for you to get this one ticked off your “Bucket List”
