What makes a Family Portrait by Gerd Harder stand out?


The beauty of Gerd's home family portraits and outdoor pictures lays in his ability to combine a multitude of different tasks. Over 30 years of experience as an outdoor family photographer he has not only mastered the technical aspects in photography but also has acquired a trained eye for critical choices in backgrounds, clothing and light.


Once the family portrait session is completed clients can count on outstanding artwork and craftsmanship to enhance their family photo. Facial lines are softened, colors are adjusted, under eye shadows and blemishes removed. Heads can be swapped, after all it is difficult to get several family members at their best in the same picture. In short, everything is done to make you look your very best!


Few Family Portrait artists are sufficiently rounded to master all these skills. Many other professions require certifications as a proof of experience to the public, not so in portrait photography. Any individual can call himself a portrait photographer. There are no rules in place to protect the general public. It is up to each client to find out if he is dealing with an experienced portrait artist or with somebody who just claims to be so. Family photography often requires individual family members to coordinate their time and therefore is not easily repeated. When it comes to your family photo make sure you are in the hands of a true professional who knows his trade.

 

At Harder Photography the craftsmanship is a tradition which started with Claus Christian Theodor Harder's opening of the first Harder Photography studio in 1875. Artist by profession he changed oil color and brushes for film and camera. Since then 4 generations of portraitists, Gerd's great grandfather, grandfather and father have handed down the knowledge in how to produce excellence in portrait photography.

 

Gerd's work has been recognized by his peers with many awards and prizes. In 2005 he has been honored with the "Photographer of the Year" title by the Professional Photographers of America and in 2004 he was one of only a few portrait photographers to be honored a second consecutive time as a TOP TEN FLORIDA PHOTOGRAPHER.

For a more personal touch you may consider having your family pictures taken professionally at your home or in your garden. This is the environment which describes you best, where you and your kids will feel at ease. Isn't this exactly what you like to show in your family portrait?

BEACH FAMILY PORTRAIT
   
 

 

Environmental family portraits in or outside of your home are an alternative to our studio family pictures which you can view on our next page (see link below). The characteristic of your home, garden or other location that is dear to you becomes the unique background for your family portrait. For many clients this may be more meaningful than a family picture in the studio. Years from now this home family portrait will bring back precious memories of your living environment at that time. It will be a treasured heirloom that will be cherished by many generations.
