Family Photography - Monomad Challenge.

22 days ago

Hello beautiful Black And White community, happy Monday, I hope this is a very successful week for everyone!

Today I am going to share with you a series of portrait photos that I did for a very cute family!!

A few days ago I had the honor of doing this photography work for the family of a friend, they took these photos because a relative of theirs who had been away for many years had arrived in Venezuela and for the first time in many years the whole family was together so they couldn't miss the opportunity to take these family photos!

I will use these photos as an entry to the #monomad challenge.

First we took a couple of photos with the whole family:

I must admit that from a photographic perspective it was a challenge to get everyone in focus and at the same time have the scene well lit... to achieve that I used the camera at 8-10f and a hand flash to support me in the light.

Then something happened that made me fall in love with this family, and that is that they wanted to include the dog in the photo. That melted my heart because they consider their pet to be another child in the family!!

And to my surprise, the dog behaved very well and even almost seemed to be posing for the camera like everyone else!

After that, they wanted to take some photos on the stairs to "recreate" another photo they had taken years ago...

After taking these photos of the whole family together, it was time to put my photography directing skills to the test and I proposed a couple of ideas to them...

Since I saw that the family was mostly made up of women, I wanted to take a photo where only the women would appear, to show the 3 generations of women in this family.

And then I took a photo of them in order of size:

And then I started taking some photos with fewer people, starting with the owners of the house:

Then I photographed the next family unit, a happy couple of spouses and their daughter:

Two generations of women in the same photo:

Grandma, mom and granddaughter together!

The truth is that I loved doing this photo shoot, the energy of the family was so beautiful, every time I showed them the photos they all looked happy and excited, they were also very kind to me at all time, in addition to that, the results were incredible!!

Thanks you for watching!!
