What is love? Love is everything. The beautiful, the painful, the small plant that needs both water and sun to grow. Love is wanting to spend time with someone and still giving them wings.
Ian Merzwinski debuts on C-Heads with a wonderful black and white series featuring real-life couple Leif Offerdahl and Jordyn Denning.
“The goal was something timeless — creating photos that feel like memories rather than being posed. Touch, breath, and the small glances people share when they forget a camera is there. Images that feel lived in, like something you’d find tucked inside an old book. Because they were a real couple, everything moved naturally. No directing, just observing.”
Ian chose to keep the series in black and white, explaining: “Without color, you’re left with the weight of a smile, the way light falls on skin, the subtle warmth between two people. These images aren’t meant to be perfect. They’re meant to feel true.”
