Photography

Alex Labry (Austin, TX)
From the artist's statement: "Primarily, I am an artist. I am looking for images that are timeless in that they are not just reproductions of faces, but rather images that emote the special feelings shared by those photographed with you. Y our wedding pictures should be about you and not just of you. I am looking to capture the real you and that means who you are and how you feel about your intended spouse, your family, your friends and your wedding day. I concentrate on those photographs that tell your story. I avoid being intrusive and believe it’s best to melt into the crowd so that I can observe discreetly. Most people are more comfortable and more themselves when they are unaware of the camera. However, the photographer must have special technical, emphatic and anticipatory skills in order to capture these precious moments."
