Couple Photography in Magarpatta City, Pune

Somewhere nobody knows you

Being photographed as a couple is uncomfortable enough without an audience of acquaintances.

Where you live, work and socialise among the same people, a session in a familiar public space means being watched by people who will mention it later.

That puts a great many couples off entirely, and it is a reasonable objection rather than a silly one.

The straightforward answer is to go somewhere nobody knows you, or to use the studio, where nobody is watching at all.

Both remove the self-consciousness that otherwise sits in every frame of the first half hour.

It is worth saying if this is the thing holding you back, because it is easily solved and it is the most common unspoken reason these do not get booked.

The session itself stays short and unfussy wherever it happens.

It is worth saying that a session nobody else ever sees is a perfectly ordinary thing to want.

A good number of these are photographed and never shown to anybody, and the couples who wanted that are no less pleased with the result.

Nothing about the session changes; only what happens afterwards does.

It is also worth deciding before rather than during, because the awareness of an audience is visible in photographs.

Couples who have settled the question relax into the session. Couples who have not tend to hold something back without quite knowing why.

It takes one sentence at the start.
