WHEN NO LONGER A CHILD by THE BAPTISM PHOTOGRAPHER
Photos are much more than mere captures of a subject. They must contain in themselves the things that are part of life. Especially if they contain people, and people in context, as in baptism. I like to tell that story.
I must, as the baptism photographer, leave in photography a tale that, one day, will be told to a child that, now, goes on the way to the baptismal font, not in words, as usually the tales are told, but in photos that, too, they like to remain over time and be told one day.
That is why my commitment is to guarantee that. I never photograph a baptism just to bring a half dozen photos from the main moments or, some staged in conformity. My work concerned inbuilt that tale with real stories from people that, in the event, intertwine, communicate, and trade affections. Of course everything around the main star of the day, that child on the way to the baptism ritual.
Myself, I always see that child, when the child is no more, one day at the right time, looking at my photos, done with so much pleasure, with the happiness only possible when seeing very important things. A part of her life. That makes this baptism photographer a very happy person.
