I am not the best housekeeper. With six children, that can hardly be a surprise. Heck, I have a hard time cleaning up after myself, let alone an army of minions who leave a tornado in their wake. The mess used to bother me (some days it still does), but over the years I’ve learned that while my family’s mess isn’t the best thing about us, it’s certainly not the worst. And as a photographer, I can tell you that your mess can be a powerful storytelling tool, and you certainly shouldn’t wait to document your family’s memories because of it.
Why Your Photographer Loves the Mess
1. VISUAL INTEREST
One of the my favorite things to do when I am photographing a family is to find interesting ways to frame my subjects. I love a clean and well composed picture free of distracting elements, but after a while it can get a little boring. I like to use things in my environment isolate my subject and break up the monotony of certain pictures.
