How To Add Personality To A Classic Family Portrait

By Don Wong


Once again, you find yourself thinking of ideas to adopt for your next family portrait session, which you do yearly. You realise that you have always taken on the traditional formal setup in the past, which, although it turned out beautiful, did not seem to differ from all the other family portraits of the earlier years. Now, for a change, you choose to come up with something you and your family will not forget any sooner.

And then you start asking yourself what themes you should adopt. To help you make decisions better, keep the following tips in mind.

Look at your family's personality, or probably hobbies you all share together. Are you a family of musicians? Does your family love to travel? Do you all love the colour red? Are you all keen on a certain film or television show, so much so that you are likely to adopt the characters in that particular show? Do you have favourite super heroes?

Utilise this as your inspiration for the theme of your family portrait. For instance, if you are a family of travellers, you could freely add props like maps, souvenirs, and luggage to make the scene more interesting, vibrant, and nearest to reality as you possibly can. If your family loves music, on the other hand, you could bring along your musical instruments and let your photographers get creative with them.

Speaking of photographers for family portraits, you must keep in mind to choose the best fit for your needs. Photographers produce varied qualities of work; similarly, what is nice for one may not strike as good enough for everybody else. That is why you should always look at a photographer's sample family portraits prior to signing up for a portraiture session. By considering these samples, you can gauge which photographer can give you the results you want.

Do not hesitate to solicit suggestions for other concepts from your photographer. Similarly, you can request tips on how to enhance your very own concept and make it more photographable. The more the creative contribution that is poured into the family portrait, the better it would turn out.
