I photographed a very touching story several weeks ago. Here's the clip and link to story, about dying in the comfort of your home. The shoot took some time to draw out some emotion for the picture to be compelling. I photographed Laurie by framing her in several different ways in front of the cabin that she and her former husband built when he was sick. After photographing the zen garden that they made together, and inquiring about her husband and what he loved to do, she pulled out a dusty picture frame from the cabin, now used as storage. I stepped back a bit more so that I could give her that moment. He was the love of her life, although she is remarried now. This picture was made at the very end of the shoot.
