This isn&#8217;t your typical family portrait at all! I&#8217;m very pleased with how I was able to express both my own (goofy) personality as well as the family&#8217;s (fun) personality. I love that I&#8217;m able to express multiple sides of my personality through my portraiture. At times, I love the serene, quiet confidence of a soft expression and other times I love to show the the comical side of life through images like the one below. I believe that every good portrait should tell some sort of story.<\/p>\n<p>I grew up in a family of musicians. I was the odd one of the family, having never played an instrument or sang. Despite my lack of wanting to develop any musical ability, I&#8217;ve always had an appreciation for good music. I remember asking my brother about a the famous song by Beethoven, Fur Elise. If you don&#8217;t recall the song, here it is:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_mVW8tgGY_w\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I asked my brother, &#8220;Is Fur Elise a happy song or is it a sad song? It seems like it&#8217;s neither happy or sad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My musician brother educated me by saying something to the effect, &#8220;Music is all about telling a story. Fur Elise tells a story when you hear it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even though he didn&#8217;t answer my question directly, I understood what he was saying. I can relate what he said to photography and any other type of artwork. My style is consistent with my personality, despite the mood of the image, be it colorful or black and white, soft and contemplative or joyful and exciting.<\/p>\n<p>I can see myself in each &#8220;story&#8221; and it gives me amazing fulfillment in my life.
