Live Forever Through Portrait Photography
Imagine if you could present someone with a gift of a memory. What do you remember of your kids’ childhood? Do you remember your newborns – or do you look wistfully at other people’s babies and wish that you had clearer recollections? We get caught up in the busy routine of raising a family that we forget those precious times.
Portrait photography brings memories to life. It doesn’t stop the clock, but it can stop those moments from being lost in the mists of time.
Giving someone (or even yourself) the gift of a portrait photography session with a professional studio is probably one of the most personal and enduring gifts they’ll ever get. There are thousands of gifts that cost more money, but mean less. A gift of memory is enduring, whilst material things can fade, break, get lost or lose their attraction.
What joy it would be for new parents to get a gift of a photo shoot with their new baby. For many new parents, those first few days are a sleepless blur. Yes, there are many snapshots, but a beautifully crafted portrait will capture all the minute detail of the moment. Some WA portrait photography is so well done that it seems to bring all the senses of the sweet newborn back to life. What a joy it would be to receive such a gift. .
The gift of a portrait shoot also makes a fantastic gift for milestone birthdays and special anniversaries. While family snapshots are great, they’re often lacking in something. While it may be the best shot ever of one person, it often happens that someone else’s eyes are shut, or something’s out of focus etc. Lots can go wrong, so when the responsibility of capturing the family group in a perfect shot is handed to someone else – the results are fantastic.
The old-fashioned family portraits with stern faced individuals looking stiffly into the camera are generally a thing of the past. These days, candid, fun and unusual portraits capture the very essence and character of each individual – even when part of a larger group. Rules of portrait photography are there to be broken, say Perth portrait photographer, Freedom Photography. The use of props and creative lighting, changing the perspective, mixing up the composition and moving subjects out of their comfort zones can all create striking shots.
When it comes to special occasions and milestones (such as graduations, engagements, births, weddings, 21st birthdays etc), a gift of a portrait photography shoot is guaranteed to have the ‘WOW’ factor. Have a look at the numerous websites of local Perth portrait photographer to see whose work impresses you and set up meetings with several studios before making a commitment. A photography shoot can be a very intimate and personal situation, and the relationship between photographer and the client is all important. Have a look at the online galleries of the various studios to see whose work you like. There are many techniques that photographers use, and it’s best to talk to them about what will suit your individual requirements and preferences best.
And a portrait doesn’t have to be a once-off. The imposing hallway portrait is history. Many people are choosing to have regular portraits taken to commemorate significant moments.
As famous photographer, Frank Lloyd Wright said : "If you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life" .
