The Future of the Family Portrait.
 

A Family Portrait is all about the Story. A Family Portrait should be about Fun, Positive Energy, Good Vibes and Love. Whether at home, in your favourite park or in studio, a picture without the full story is meaningless. In one hour, I can take your family on a journey, presenting 100-200 images on average, to capture all the nuance and not miss one beautiful moment. Every image is presented as fine art quality Black & White, as well as Sumptuous & Delightful Colour.
Do the research, & Do read the reviews,
I'm certainly proud of them.
Trust me to tell your Story. Eliot Siegel

Psychology of the Family Portrait:
 

Using psychology for family portraiture

Family portraiture can benefit from an understanding of psychology in various ways. Here are a few suggestions on how to use psychology to create meaningful and memorable family portraits:

  1. Understand family dynamics: Every family has a unique dynamic, and understanding it can help you capture the essence of the family. Pay attention to the interactions between family members and observe their body language, facial expressions, and other nonverbal cues. This can help you create portraits that reflect the family's relationships and connections.

  2. Create a relaxed and comfortable environment: Many people feel anxious or self-conscious when having their photo taken, which can make it challenging to capture authentic expressions and emotions. As a photographer, you can help ease their nerves by creating a comfortable and relaxed environment. This can include using natural light, playing music, or engaging them in conversation.

  3. Use positive psychology: Positive psychology emphasizes the positive aspects of human behavior and encourages individuals to focus on their strengths and values. Incorporating this approach into your family portraiture can help create portraits that celebrate the family's unique qualities and highlight their positive relationships.

  4. Consider the family's history and traditions: Every family has its own history and traditions, and incorporating these elements into the portrait can make it more meaningful and memorable. This can include including family heirlooms, incorporating meaningful locations, or using props that have significance to the family.

  5. Be flexible and adaptable: Every family is different, and what works for one family may not work for another. Being flexible and adaptable can help you create portraits that are tailored to the family's unique needs and preferences. This can include being open to different poses, locations, and styles of photography.
