Family photo by Kanwal |
You’re all keyed
up. Your baby is now an official member of the family and it’s the perfect time
to forever capture this moment in your life. In other words, it’s time for fun
shoots with your precious Ella, your beloved husband and Wiggle butt, your awkwardly
adorable corgi.
But who’s going to
take your family portrait?
Hmm...
Your niece is pretty
good with her Nikon and your friend from the office has many Instagram likes,
that must count for something right? If only you knew any good Sydney photographers…
It is true that,
in this day and age people have become very proficient in their use of cameras,
but still, family pictures should be assigned to professional photographers to
ensure quality results.
When it comes to family
photography, Sydney boasts of a wide range of specialists and great outdoor photoshoot
locales. But who’s the best? A photographer must possess the following
qualities,
Vision
Choose a creative photographer.
A photographer has to communicate your family’s heart and soul, all in a single
shot. Can your Nikon-using niece achieve this?
Family photography
shouldn’t resemble those stock photos you get with a photo frame; flat,
emotionless and rehearsed. It should vocally express the love and quirkiness
that is your family.
A family portrait
encapsulates the individuality of each subject. It magically brings out
people’s features and character in a way words cannot.
Artistic Discernment
Photography is
art. A photographer that doesn’t listen and just does her own thing, cannot
express the soul of your family.
A photographer
with artistic perception can discern your family’s nuances and subtle emotional
relationships and highlight these in a photo.
Forget family photographers
with fancy equipment and impressive qualifications — although they wouldn’t
hurt — go for photographers with a soul full of artistic flair and an
emotions-driven eye.
Customer Service
When choosing a
family portrait professional you want someone collaborative and friendly. After
all, it’s family photography you need.
Choose a
photographer that’s willing to meet in person to discuss your needs. A person
that so customer-centric that goes the extra mile in advising you on what to do
to get the best picture, what to wear, what theme and setting would work best
for your family. In other words, choose a photographer that’s passionate about
their job, not one after easy money.
Takeaway
Choose a family
photographer that’s perceptive enough to capture the vibe of your family. More
importantly, choose a photographer that’s creative and willing to go to great
lengths to give you an above par family portrait.
