Extraordinary Portraits Can Affect People Emotionally
I consider my greatest achievement as an artist is the unexpected deep emotional response that sometimes occurs when people view some of the portraits I have created. Some of these portraits have a rare ability to touch the viewer’s emotions.
Sixteen people have literally been brought to tears while viewing photographs of people they do not know.
Two of these, wrote that this happened while viewing my works over the internet. Countless others who do know the people in the photos were also moved to tears. But it is those viewers that have no connection at all by family or friend to the person in the portrait image that I find most memorable and remarkable.
“The Greatest Satisfaction I Know as an Artist”
I never expected this to happen. Of course I would be pleased if my clients liked their portraits, or those portraits of members of their family. Countless times, I have received notes and calls and have been told how family members (husbands, mothers, fathers, grandparents) were moved to tears by a portrait I made of someone in their family. I thought that was wonderful.
But something else happened too.
Sixteen total strangers were moved to tears by some of my portraits of people they do not know.
It was not as frequent as seeing family members of my clients or clients themselves cry, it was certainly rare, and it was not expected.
Yet it happened 16 times!
Fourteen times I saw with my own eyes, and two additional times men wrote me to tell me this.
I truly saw it happen 14 times with my own eyes and the response came from both women and men.
Yes, men cried too!
It was when people who viewed a portrait I made were brought to tears by that portrait, yet they do not know the person in the portrait.
Bear in mind, these were not portraits of war victims, drought victims, or people in pain or suffering. They were not destitute, hungry, malnourished, or disfigured. They were portraits of ordinary people, not celebrities, not famous, not even known to the viewer.
When that happened, it changed my life in a profound way.
It gave me an idea or inspiration to follow a different path in my life and completely changed how I see photography and how I will use it in the future.
What caused those people to cry?
It is an extraordinary response to the face of a person they don’t know by prior meeting, but somehow know in their heart.
When I witnessed this response, I was watching the tears stream down their faces, and listening to what the viewers revealed to me.
Some told me things about what caused this response. Sometimes we just shared those emotions in silence, as they were so strong that it was truly a moment where the viewer was speechless. It always touches me deeply too, even to the point where tears filled my own eyes as I witnessed this emotion connection the viewer had with my work.
These have been some of the most unforgettable moments in my life as an artist. They transcend anything material or business related.
As an artist, it gave me the greatest satisfaction to know that my art has reached someone deeply, and to witness that with my own eyes was an unexpected moment of enlightenment. “

Seven ways you can help other photographers and yourself too!
Have you heard of Karma? Do you believe in the Golden Rule?
Karma is the belief that all deeds can shape the past, present, and future experiences. In the West, this is sometimes expressed by the Christian concept of “you reap what you sow.” In short, do good to others and good may come to you. I truly believe that helping others helps not only them, but also ourselves in ways we often cannot anticipate. Each action of good you do, can make the world a nicer place.
