Fine Portraits are truly
Family Art Treasures.
Portraiture
The
art of capturing the essence of the subject, whether relationships,
personality or emotion, and transposing it to paper, canvas
or stone.
Art
Portraiture vs Documentary Photos...
Anyone with a camera can snap a picture. If you can turn on
a light switch and focus, you qualify to operate a fixed-beam
"portrait studio" such as found in the "Big
Box" outlets. These snapshot portraits are valuable as
inexpensive documentary photographs.
Fine
art portraiture reached a pinnacle during the "High Renaissance"
period with such masters as Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Titian,
etc. With the advent of photographic science came the Photographic
Portrait Artist. The traditions of fine art portraiture were
passed from the painting masters on to photographic artists.
In
today's modern world, the magic of photographic science is
available to everyone thanks to one-use, "disposable"
cameras, digital cameras, and an abundance of one-hour labs
and computer printers. Today, everybody is able to enjoy making
photographs, and try their hand at being artistic.
As
with any vocation, there are some people who are drawn to
the art and science of portrait photography, who study it,
and dedicate themselves to the artistry of photography as
their life's work. I am one such person. And
in case you missed it on the Home page, I GUARANTEE
you will be Thrilled, not just satisfied with the portraits
I make for you! I am dedicated to creating the
very finest family portraits you've ever had made, whether
in studio, or on location anywhere in Hawaii!___SPC II

Family Portraits
Families are the Heart and Soul of Society
"Stan, you always do such a great job
capturing the emotions in our family portraits. We love the
way you combined these photographs to make this portrait for
us! Mahalo!" Steve & Ruby Avilla, Aiea, Hawaii
|
"You know, Stan, at first I wasn't sure
how I'd like a family portrait where we aren't looking at
the camera. Now that we have it on our wall at home, I can
hardly believe not only how great it really looks, and how
good you made us look, but the feelings I get every time I
look at it! Thank you so much!" - Reylene Yoshioka, Pearl
City, Hawaii

Wow, Stan! I really couldn't see it when you
were working with us, but I must say, you really have a special
vision! These portraits you made for us are way beyond all
expectations! Thank you!"- Rene Kuehu, Waianae, HI

them! Mahalo!" - Calvert Chun, Honolulu, Hawaii

done that I really liked. I just don't photograph well...But

Portraits are Family Art Treasures
Yes, there
are other Family Portrait Photographers in Hawaii who
are capable of making fine family portraits, no question.
What sets me apart from all the rest is my Perspective. You
see to me, the goal of a Fine Art Family Portrait is
to show the relationships, connections and emotion
in the family while presenting each individual at their best.
In other words, I want to create a piece of ART!
First
of all, human souls are the epitome of God's physical creation.
Families are the very Core of society, and each family is
uniquely beautiful. To any individual, their family relationships
have unique significance. The point is that every person and
every family deserves to have their own, personal, Family
Art piece! A true heirloom, Family Art Treasure!
So when
looking for an Oahu Portrait Photographer to create
your family portraits, where do you start? If you live
on Oahu, or have family or friends here, you can ask people
you know to recommend a Honolulu Family Portrait Photographer.
And that's a good start. If you're visiting Hawaii, how do
you find the right Family Portrait Photographer in Hawaii
for you?
In every case you will find that most Hawaii
Photographers specialize in wedding photography...not
Family Portrait Photography. That's important to know
because there is a big difference! If you want a Hawaii
Photographer who will create exceptional Family Portraits
on Oahu for you, you will do well to choose a Honolulu
Photographer who specializes in Family Portrait Photography!
Makes sense, doesn't it.
If you just want a fast, cheap snapshot as
a memento of your Hawaii vacation, or someone to snap a few
pictures and give them to you on a disc to print yourself,
you can find several people claiming to be professional
Hawaii Family Photographers who will accommodate you.
On the other hand, if what you want is a truly fine Family
Portrait that you will cherish and be proud to display
on a wall in your home, and that will give you joy for years
to come, you will be rewarded for your investment of time
in researching for a real Professional Hawaii Photographer
who specializes in fine Family Portrait Photography on
Oahu.

Family Portrait Photographers website, please read the

A Photograph is a Photograph...Right?....
There
are two basic genres of portraiture: Literal,
and Interpretive. Within these genres there are many
styles defined by lighting, pose,
camera angle and props. Literal Portraits are
documentary in
nature and have the subject(s) looking back at the viewer,
and usually in an obviously posed posture. Interpretive
Portraits have a more candid appearance where the subject(s)
are not looking back at the viewer, and appear to be
involved in some kind of activity. But what really
makes the difference in a fine family portrait is the time,
sensitivity and care that the artist puts into
the creation of your portrait!
Why I Love Making Family Portraits in Hawaii
Growing
up with two older sisters and two older brothers, and both parents
was a wonderful, hopeful, exciting and sometimes even a little
bit scary experience for me. (Older brothers can be ruthless...)
I fondly remember the "Family Room" in our house,
and Family Nights when we'd all go to a matinee movie, then
have dinner together, then maybe a board game or watch a special
TV show. I remember there were portraits in the Family Room
and Living Room as well as snapshots all down the hallway my
mom referred to as the "Rogues Gallery". Unfortunately
for me, over the years many of these family heirlooms have been
lost. So you see I have a real understanding of the value of
fine, artistic family portraits that capture and preserve
the individual personalities within the whole family dynamic.
I have always been drawn to art...(excuse pun, please..). I've
always enjoyed looking at art, and I've always loved creating
art! I love art in drawing, painting, and sculpture. I also
love art in music, poetry, performance, and I love art photography.
I love creating Family Portraits because I have a great
appreciation for family portraits personally. And because I
love making art with special meaning.
Your Family Is Unique
You
and each of your family members are unique. And I get a real
'charge' out of making beautiful family portraits that

of your family. There is no cost or obligation with this call,

questions you should ask any Hawaii Family Portrait Photographer

you make the decision on who to hire to create your Family Art
Treasures.
