Farrah Braniff began her career as a photographer on the side of the road when her father showed her how to take long exposure images of the night sky. While studying visual arts at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Houston, Texas, photography became her passion and the darkroom her sanctuary. After receiving her BFA in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute, she eventually returned to Texas, worked as a photography teacher, and opened her eponymous studio, where she specializes in capturing images that will hold their meaning through the years, bring back a flood of memories, and let the children featured in them know that they were loved. She teaches popular workshops in California and in Houston, where she lives with her husband and their three children, some of her best subjects.
Moments that Matter: Real Life Photography Techniques for Capturing
the Wonder of Family Life lives up to its title with easy-to-follow
guidelines for photographers of all skill and experience levels.
Professional photographer and mother of three Farrah Braniff offers
tips, tricks, and techniques for capturing timeless moments,
especially with regard to one's family and playful children. "I
always look for bright light with a little bit of cover... The
little bit of cover keeps people from needing to squint their eyes
and it helps you avoid the split lighting look that happens when
you are in the direct sunshine." Parents and grandparents
especially will delight in the improved quality photographs they
can take with the helpful advice of Moments that Matter! Highly
recommended.
