Portraiture photography services

Not only does the family need to plan the baby shower, but the photographer will need to ensure that all is executed smoothly and meets their approval

Street photography can take on many forms, from candid to reportage, journalism and portraiture, to war correspondence. The essence and the underlying message are similar in all genres, that being expression and mood in the way you intend to tell the story visually.

Different scenarios require different Photography. To be clear on this point, anyone can snap a picture on their mobile device, and yes this might suffice, however, an experienced photographer who understands your brief and requirements will do a better job. Understanding people and their needs, as well as the theme, background and lighting, all play a major role in achieving a positive end-result.

There is a prevalence that time runs away with us, and moments become lost. Memories subconsciously become a flicker of the past, without one realizing that as people come into this world, people too are leaving this world.

Some photographers prefer black and white as it brings out all the hard lines and the tends to be “punchier”, especially for street photography and reportage that show mood and tell real stories. I personally love black and white, as it is a gradation of monochrome.  My suggestion is shoot in color and convert in post to black and white thereafter. In studio, photographers will often use a plain baby blue backdrop for black and white, as it tends to work nicely for effect, white is very cold and used only for specific looks. When capturing family portraiture, black and white is not a popular choice. Most family and baby pictures are shot in color, same as fashion, where the colors play a large role.

One of the biggest problems is shadow and uneven light, especially in mid-day sun.

References also prove to be helpful as to where to best position the subject, and where the light source comes from, in terms planning the outcome of the shot you wish to capture.

The bottom line is that if you are passionate about photography and have a psychological approach to the way you interpret life and the people around you, portraiture is the way forward as a visual communicator.
