“I would thoroughly recommend Anna of Matchbox Photography for your family photographic project. The photo shoot at home was fun for everyone. Anna is great with adults, teenagers, and children (and pets!) We got a lovely informal but artistic collection of photos of home and family combined. Which we will treasure forever ..”
Family Portrait Photographer | Anna Nowakowska
What is a family portrait photography? Or rather what is a portrait of a family? Portrait in general is a picture of a person, or a sketch or sculpture, but a portrait is so much than that. It is a collaboration between a subject and in this case a photographer. It is about the balance between those two. But first and foremost : how the photographer sees the world, how he or she sees other people.
This black & white picture is one of my favorites and I remember being a child having had a stroll with my father and an uncle of mine. Just next to the vast forest. My uncle was an amateur photographer, always carrying his Minolta x300. And this moment just happened. I wasn't ask to pose. And it looks natural. The light was beautiful it was a sunny day. A little girl and her father. Click. How many memories like this carries everyone? How many family portraits?I have this one with me all my life. The memory stays with it. I think that is the main magic trick of photography. It grasps moments that we don't want to let go. Please enjoy my family portrait gallery. And maybe someday we can organise a stroll for your family and I would be holding a camera this time, just like my uncle.
