I am a Brisbane portrait photographer  in the business for over 20 years, started Eternity Photography in 97.  I have a small video below from a few years back,  I hope you like the photos.  I will be using this blog for articles related to portrait photography.  If you want some portraits done for family, yourself or for your professional use, I would love to talk to you.

In this second part we do a dummy run of selecting the clothes for the family portraits session.  This entails laying everyone’s outfits out together and seeing how well they go together.  The aim is that no single person stands out more than the rest, and that the clothes dont stand out too much themselves.

Perhaps later I will go through some styling for an individual portrait photography session.

What wear for your family portraits is tackled in this two part video by brisbane portrait photographer Andrew of Eternity Photography.  The aim of dressing for this special event is to draw attention to peoples faces, not to other parts of their body and not to any person in particular.  The clothing you choose is pivotal to the success of how your family portrait will ultimately show your family as a unified group, looking your best, as a group.  While you dont need to match exactly, you need to all fit in visually. The family portrait itself is not so much about showing each person as an individual, but as a vital member of the family unit. An individual session however is a great time to really express yourself and as such your clothing choice can be a lot freer than for a family portrait photo session, whether in studio or on location. Second part is coming soon.
