Great environmental portraits are no more a fad or a trend than any great wedding photojournalism, instead photography often takes place at locations include city streets, rooftops, garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings and chasing other wild pursuits in an increasingly popular ritual and edgy extension of wedding photojournalism called Trash the Dress (TTD).
"Trash the dress", is a style of wedding photography that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is out of place. It is generally shot in the style of fashion or glamour photography. The bride often may effectively ruin their wedding dress in the process by getting it wet, dirty or in extreme circumstances tearing or destroying the garment.
Couples are not only seeking out photos that are creative, artistic or fun, they’re trying to escape that traditional world of the wedding photographer making sure your dress is perfectly clean or spaced out uniformly over the ground.”
Getting Creative: The Many Levels of TTD
Yet some couples may not want to totally trash their dress in water or mud, and there are in fact an unlimited number of ways to “step outside the box” with this kind of portraiture. Maybe the bride is only up for walking through fields, along railroad tracks or through abandoned buildings, all of which can work just as well. The risk to the dress is still there, of course, but real damage can be avoided.
Some great TTD style imagery that we did recently.
