The windows opened and a fresh breeze filled the room. Alex and Jill shared a few intimate moments while soft music played in the background. The mood was set for what would soon become a beautiful bonding experience. As the photographers entered, Alex and Jill’s focus remained constant. In that moment, no one else existed and there was no discomfort or embarrassment. “We were able to move and act as though there weren't any photographers in the room”, says Jill. “That session was probably by far my favorite, it captures the raw love of us as a couple, just being ourselves without it feeling forced."

Alex and Jill agreed that this shoot absolutely brought them closer together. Not surprisingly, the artists that took the photographs, Michael and Carina, were equally moved by the experience. “Love is sensual, love is intimate, but that love is also innocent. It encouraged us to hold on to that innocence no matter what.” For Michael and Carina, the most memorable moment of this session came when Alex and Jill lay under the covers, Jill in Alex’s arms. Each photographer took turns photographing them at bird’s eye view from a ladder. “It was quiet except for the music and the wind, and I helped Carina on the ladder. There are certain inexplicable moments when you just connect with subjects, and that was one of them. Honestly, the emotion we felt that kept striking a cord the entire time was

Tamra Gould is a senior at Edmond North High School who has shown exceptional talent in photography and exceptional character in her reaction to society’s expectations. While Gould has always expressed an interest in photography, it was not until a photo of hers received first place at a UCO competition that she truly began to recognize her talent. Gould specifically prefers to photograph people who lack self-confidence or people who are looked down upon by society or viewed as “special” or “weird.” A few of her favorite subjects include her little brother, who has Down Syndrome and her little sister, who has been bullied all throughout school. “My goal is to show them in a way that people would never expect and show their true beauty,” said

It looks (and feels) romantic. Next, the couple move to a game room, where they stand in a little corner, their face in soft shadows, providing a sense of intimacy. Finally, they move to Fish Net Beach and kiss. Again, the shadows are soft (though the picture overall is significantly darker).

Margaret Renkl’s essay “You’re Pointing Your Camera the Wrong Way” is a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of life, the importance of living in the present, and the power of photography to capture and preserve memories. Renkl argues that too often we are fixated on capturing images of the things in front of us, instead of turning the camera around and capturing the moments we are experiencing. Renkl begins her essay by recounting a trip she took to the beach with her family, during which she found herself focused on taking pictures of the waves and the seagulls, instead of the people she was with. She writes, “I snapped photo after photo of the waves crashing against the shore, of the clouds overhead, of the seagulls wheeling and calling.

One problem most central to advancing our psychological understanding of the experience of intimacy has been in defining or circumscribing the phenomenon itself. While much has been written on the topic of intimacy in a variety of contexts by both academic and ‘popular’ authors, paradoxically, there exists less research (and even less concurrence) on essential matters such as the definition of intimacy (Register and Henley, 1992; 9: 467-48). “However, in the literature, many researchers (Berscheid, 1985; Hatfield & Rapson, 1993; Levine, 1991) have concurred that there are four main components of intimacy: love and affection, personal validation, trust and self-disclosure,” (Hook, Misty, Gerstein, et al .2003) which are enshrined in Rogers core conditions of empathy, respect and genuineness (Rogers, 1957). If these components are absent in a relationship, intimacy may not occur. “When people are aware that they are loved and liked, the risks associated with self-expression decrease, and they become more willing to open up and share their ideas and feelings.
