All shoots are about a ton of things but one thing I know is that it is not about me! It is always about who or what, the process and results. I never know what to expect at times and recently I was taken a back by a whole ton of emotion about the people who came in for this project. It was a grant for a healthcare provider and they hired me to capture family portraits of their patients in their community.
The families were nervous and unsure what to expect. They spoke only Spanish so I had to demonstrate in a physical way how I wanted them to interact with each other. In the end we had fun and they showed their loving selves towards one another. It was very moving to capture them and see the end results. I really felt touched and honored to be a part of their new family portrait which for most was their first time.
