Love Cast Upon Words

Good Idea, great shoot. I like it a lot.

magnificent!!!

Great image -well done!

Thank you all!

Simply beautiful

What a beautiful image. This would look exceptional on a card

This is so cleaver. Well done

very well done !

this is beautiful…would look perfect on the cover of a wedding service booklet. Well done!

Looks like a LOTR type shot, well done. I tried this a while ago with natural light and a pair of glasses.

Thank you all :)

Thank you all :)

Amazing

What a great idea, fantastic shot.

Great shot!! What kind of light did you use for this?

great imagination! the shot works really well, kinda sussed out how you managed it, I think? love it to bits,

scott: thanks! I used a flashlight in a dark room, that’s what created that strong ring of light. :)

imageworld: it took a long time, 4 different tried before I got it right, and I had some help, my husband was holding the light for me. I hope that’s what you meant by how I managed it?

More details! What made you think of it, why that book…

Empress: Well it had been a concept I’d seen before(the ring casting a shadow of a heart on the open book pages), but I wanted to add my own twist to it so I used a flashlight with a circular beam to cast the heart shape with light. The right in my engagement ring, the book was originally my husband’s poetry book in the first couple of shoots, but I changed it later on because the poetry verses didn’t leave enough words on the pages and it looked rather blank… so I used “Legends of New Jersey” because it had a character named “Juliette”, which references the romance(and ties into the overall ‘love’ theme of the composition) of “Romeo & Juliette”(which I didn’t at that time have a copy of).

well worth the effort-really beautiful. That will make fabulous wedding invites for someone…

WOW

This is a stunning photograph. One thought I had was you could re shoot it using pages from marriage vows?

But still a wonderful photograph

Serenity… nice very nice take on the concept. ;-) (You know what I mean, without saying too much!)

No I have looked again, it’s way better than mine….well done!!!! Excellent!!

Thanks, always want to know the reasons/inspirations behind even if the answer is “accident” “serendipity” or “just happened” because that’s reassuring.

I did suspect Juliette and liked that it wasn’t R&J.

wow this is amazing. what is the book?

an immediate classic

Very beautiful and a classic…nicely done!

It’s beautiful – perfect! How did you get the idea??? (rhetorical) but I wonder if you saw a shadow out of the corner of yoru eye and thought – hey! Or the logic of how shadows fall … Your description is asking to be created as an image too! “Careful light and Careful Shadows” – how cool is that. Great work.

This catches my eye everytime i open the home page. Fantastic symbolism and very creative.

Beautiful version of a more often made photo! I like your interpretation of it.

Awesome work, congrats!

No wonder this is on the popular page. Very inventive use of the light and shadow. Well deserved

Very beautiful! Well done Serenityone! :D

stunning image

Great execution – stunning image!

It’s all been said, fantastic shot.

“Engaged” by Melissa Jane is the same concept as this!!!!!

Check it out

Melissa Jayne that is,

very clever!

very cool!

Very nice shot I like the entire idea of it

Fantastic shot, says it all.

love is a dog from hell…does anyone know where this title comes from?

one word…. AMAZING !

Gordon – I have been asked by couples to shoot similar arrangements with their wedding rings/vows/passages. I think it’s a wonderful wedding theme. :)

Jess – Legends of New Jersey (or Lost Legends of New Jersey, something like that)

Anne – Thank you! It’s actually an old concept, done a million times over, and I don’t in any way deserve credit for putting the ring on the book, the light heart though, that was originally my idea and it came about because the only thing I had at the time to cast a strong enough shadow was a flashlight…

All – Thank you so much for the overwhelming response to this piece!

this is a really deep image. The shadow created is clever in its self. the fact that the shadon has formed a shaply heart nd there is a ring present suggests a theme of love xx lou xx

Stunning ! Simply stunning.

So luminous!

Wow…

wow this is absolutely beautiful!

Thank you all!

This is a very clever bit of work!

This is excellent!

Well done! You did a really great job in creating it, it is beautiful!
