Since the holiday are just around the corner, and if you remember my last post was about color correction I thought it would be a good idea to talk about photographing your family. When I first moved to NYC in the 80’s I met a Time photographer Bill Pierce. I asked him how he got into the business and his response was ” Photograph what you know, I took a portfolio to the Time/Life photo editors filled with images of my family, and they hired me on the spot.” True story by the way. I am sure they were not your ordinary family photos but images that captured imagination and stirred the heart.

Start with What You Know.

©The following images are from a series taken of my family at Lost Trail Hot Springs in Montana. I decided to start the book off with these photos of my son Makhesh and daughter Metika to demonstrate a few things: the magical power of natural light, the impact of light color on our emotions, and the simple act of being adventurous. It’s not important to understand all of the techniques I’m going to mention here ( we’ll work through them over the course of this book)> The important thing is to note that seemingly ” everyday” moments, scenes, and subjects can be transformed into exciting images through the thoughtful application of lighting, composition, and other photographic techniques-and with relatively basic equipment.
