As a photographer with a business to run of course I want everyone to have a portrait session.But my passion for this most intimate of art forms goes way beyond simple economics. Capturing people and telling a story about them, as individuals or as part of a group, is what attracted me to photography in the first place.
A professional portrait is not just a wonderful piece of individual art for your home now, it has the power to become a family heirloom.
Portraits were once things that the wealthy commissioned artists to paint and generations later they still have the power to say something about their subjects.
Today photography makes that available to everyone and we don’t have to rely on imperfect memory to see how our children change as they grow or to remember much-loved grandparents.
Modern portraiture tells a very different story about us as individuals, families and friends
Photographs can define our times for generations to come. Most people today think of the Victorians as rather stiff and formal. That’s because, given the technology of the time, photographs tended to be rather formal.
Professional portraits are so worth the investment and there is a real and tangible difference between them and the family snapshot.
The family snapshot can be a treasured memento but a professional portrait will probably be the most personal piece of art you will ever own
So, with Christmas approaching I’d like to encourage everyone to think about a sitting with a professional photographer be it me or another pro.
How would you feel unwrapping a beautiful portrait of your loved ones on Christmas morning?
And if you feel that way, just imagine how your loved ones would feel about a beautiful portrait of you.
This is no time to reach for the tired old socks and tie as a way of working through the Christmas list.
Be original and creative and give them something really special – portraits are for life, not just for Christmas.
