Do you have a Legacy Portrait?
What is a Legacy Portrait?
Strictly speaking it is a portrait of a person left to be remembered by, as in a will. It is made deliberately for this purpose for family members, friends and associates.
Before photography those who could afford it commissioned an artist, and portraits ranged from massive oil paintings down to miniature watercolours.
Early photographers replaced artists quickly because multiple copies could be made. We have probably all seen some of these stiff and formal victorian era photos.
Formal pictures of special occasions are rare nowadays because of the ease of taking limitless numbers of pictures and videos on cameraphones.
For most people this satisfies all photographic needs but it has resulted in some unexpected consequences.
Most of us have too many photographs and the really good ones have got lost in the crowd, so when we have passed on, which is the one people are going to remember you by?
Not everyone is in the fortunate position of having close friends and family to take such pictures. A few do not have any pictures at all.
If you are in that position and want a memorable legacy picture, my service is for you. Or maybe you know somebody it applies to and you want to remedy the situation so that you have a really memorable portrait to remember them by.
