Here's an idea for that taken from my own experience - guy and girl hugging, girl's crying, shot taken from behind guy, girl's face is visible. Camera is low, pointed up, full body shot...I'm too lazy to do something like that, but you seem pretty diligent with your photography.

Thanks :)

Paul: That's a cool idea. I think you should try to take a shot like that... If you plan for it, it's actually not as much work as you might think.

Sim,

very cool, now lets see you in a shot where you break those chains. how about a close up showing chains broken and maybe one little tear coming down from your eye... very dark very deep...lighting.. low key stuff..
And that the new you is about to happen.... damn this is deep.....ha ha lol

Interesting you should suggest that, because I've been toying with the idea of doing a series for a while. Don't think I'll be able to take the shot you're taking about just yet though -- don't think my friend would appreciate me destroying her rope ;)

Thanks for the thoughts!
