We live in a world where we are bombarded with digital media everywhere. We are surrounded with screens that are filled with images. By their very nature they are fleeting, and there are so many, they are hardly memorable. This lends itself to a habit of consuming digital images as if they are disposable and they lose meaning so quickly.
A print is tangible. You can hold it. You can appreciate it. You can spend time with it and reminisce. Imagine your son waking up every morning to a portrait of himself surrounded by his loving family on the wall in his room. His first thought of the day is a reminder that he is loved, that he has a place where he will always belong, and a place to call home.
Picture your granddaughter, full of high school insecurities, taking note of the portraits of you, full of confidence, that tell her that she is enough, and that all of her quirks make her perfect just the way she is.
Or your partner, studying the wall gallery over coffee, chuckling over silly memories and intimate moments together.
These moments in time are priceless and deserved to be remembered, cherish, and preserved in a medium of high enough quality to match the significance of what they represent. This is why I’m on a mission to bring Fine Art back to photography.
