One of the coolest couples I ever got to work with was Natasha & Max. Natasha and I got to collaborate on a photoshoot when they took a trip to visit NYC. When they ended up moving to Brooklyn shortly after, we reconnected for an epic engagement session at a tattoo and oddities shop.
The couple got coordinated pieces, one in full color, one in black and white, inspired by their favorite stories in “The Illustrated Man”, a collection of science fiction shorts by Ray Bradbury. When we arrived for their appointments, they signed their release forms, played a game of rock paper scissors to decide who went first, and settled in for an afternoon getting inked. Between their sessions, we took a walk over to the Gowanus Canal to stretch out and grab a few portraits.
This pair are both artists themselves! Natasha creates beautiful floral pieces and vintage inspired jewelry at Auris Floris. Max is a graphic designer and illustrator.
Since I’m a big fan of tattoos, I had always wanted to do a session like this! As always, I’m so grateful to get to work with such creative and alternative couples always down for adventure!
Huge thank you to the incredible owners at Triple Diamond Tattoo for letting me document most unique & permanent engagement session! Tattoos by artist Hillary Blair.
