The Illian Family

How important is family? Very.

I have had the privilege of photographing this family many times. A relationship is being built, laying the foundation for a lifetime friendship. This is what my photography is about, people and who they are. Establishing a relationship is key to building a successful photography business. You basically create clients for life. You learn their style and who they are so you can reflect that in your work, thus creating a personality portrait.

Here, as with the last post, I took this digitally shot image and emulated film. Add grain, adjust color and contrast, and you have a completely new image. How will this image translate to paper? Not sure, but will try a few to find the right touch.

My goal as a photographer: evoke emotion.
