It's that time of the year once more when you find yourself thinking of ideas for your annual family portrait session. For the past few years, you have stuck to the traditional formal setup, which, albeit beautiful, seemed to embody the exact same thing year after year. For a change, you want to come up with something your family will not forget too quickly.
And then you start asking yourself which themes you must adopt. To help you decide better, keep these tips in mind.
What is your family's personality, or probably the activities you all love doing together? Do you all love music? Do you love to travel? Are you particularly partial to the colour yellow? Do you have a favourite film or TV show, whose characters have their individual counterparts in your family? Are you fond of any super heroes?
Use this as your inspiration for your family portrait's theme. For instance, if you are a family of globetrotters, you can freely add props such as maps, souvenirs, and luggage to make the scene more vibrant, interesting, and nearest to reality as you possibly can. If your family loves music, meanwhile, you could bring along your instruments and allow your photographers to get creative with them.
When it comes to photographers for family portraits, remember to choose the best one for your needs. Photographers have different work styles; a piece of work which strikes somebody as beautiful might not exactly ring true for everyone else. So it's always the right move to look at sample portraits of photography studios before signing up for a portraiture session with them. From there, you can tell which of the photographers can very well transform your concept into reality.
Do not hesitate to solicit suggestions for other ideas from your photographer. Likewise, you can ask for tips on how to improve your very own concept and make it more photogenic. The more the creative contribution that goes into the family portrait, the better it will turn out.
