Amy + Evan - The (Sign) Language Of Love
Ian Shiver
Amy and Evan are two very kind-hearted people with a beautiful cat. They both happen to be deaf, so this shoot marked my first time ever photographing a deaf couple. I talk a lot about how my photo process is about the couple's intimacy, rather than being about posed stiff portraits. For this shoot, since there was a bit of an interaction barrier, I really put that to the test. Lucky for me, these two had such a wildly strong connection, at certain points it was as if I wasn't even there at all. It felt like every photograph I took was incredibly honest, and thats always my goal.
