Through The Lens Into History

Imagine being able to give someone the gift of memory.  Can you remember details of your kids growing up?   Do you look fondly at other people’s babies and try and dredge up memories of what your own were like when they were small?  Time does diminish memories and we are often so busy with everyday life that special moments are forgotten.

Portrait photography can enliven those memories.  It can’t turn back the clock, but it does immortalize a memory so that it can live on.

Treating someone (or yourself) to a portrait photography session is one of the most personal and enduring gifts in the world.  There are thousands of gifts that cost more money, but mean less.  Material ‘stuff’ can fade over time, lose its appeal, go out of fashion, get lost or break – but a gift of a memory is there for a lifetime. 

Imagine giving new parents a portrait shoot with their newborn.  For many new parents, those early days are so fraught with getting to grips with family life that the days pass in a blur.  Yes, there are many snapshots, but a beautifully crafted portrait will capture all the minute detail of the moment.  There are some extraordinary portrait photographers in Perth whose work is so well done that it almost feels possible to smell that beautiful new ‘baby’ smell and feel their silky soft skin.  What a privilege it would be to get such a gift.  A little piece of advice – if you’re considering having a portrait shoot with your newborn, make a date with the studio well in advance of the birth. 

Portrait shoots also make perfect gifts for milestone events – such as 40th and 50th birthdays, wedding anniversaries and a grandparent’s 70^th birthday.  Family photos are great but they’re really hard to get right.  We’ve all got pics that feature distracted children, closed eyes, clashing clothing, blurry edges etc.  That’s why it’s often best to leave it to the experts. 

Family portraits have come a long way from stiff, stern lifeless poses.  Modern portraits are more likely to be more candid and natural.  There are rules to portrait photography, but as some Perth photography experts say, these rules should be broken!.  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 there’s a special occasion, such as a 21st birthday, a graduation, an engagement or wedding – giving someone a gift of a portrait photography session is guaranteed to be the best gift ever.   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.  Because the shoot can be a personal and intimate, it’s really important to have a good relationship with the photographer in order to get the best results.  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 it doesn’t have to be something that only happens once in a lifetime.  The huge family portrait that looms down from the stairwell is generally past tense.  It’s becoming increasingly popular to have many portraits taken during a life time that encapsulate those milestone moments.
