Final Project-Couples by Kateleen Foy

For this series of photographs, my main objective is to capture the incredible diversity of love. I wanted to capture evidence of the bonds that unify two people. These images display a range of age, ethnicity, marriage status and sexual orientation, to demonstrate that love cannot be confined to superficial factors. I sought out couples from different stages of life as well as couples that differed in the length of time they have been together. The focus of the shots are on the personality of each couple, that is created by the combination of two people. Each pair expresses themselves in a different and unique way. With each couple, I aimed to capture a special intimate moment.
