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 2004 he was one of only a few portrait photographers to be honored a second consecutive time as a TOP TEN FLORIDA PHOTOGRAPHER.
