The Significance Of Life Story Pictures

By Imelda Reid


Pictures are images that represent an actual object, event person or moment. They capture a lot of information. Life story pictures tell a lot about the life of an individual or a group of people. They keep a record of things and freeze instances that mark important happenings or stages in life.

This representations of images are normally in different forms. They may be in form of paintings, and others are in form of photos. Photos can be taken from cameras that use films while others are taken from electronic cameras. The digital cameras take pictures and produce them instantly.

These images are very common. The information in them can last for decades if they are well kept and taken care of. A key advantage is that they are easy to make and they are not expensive as other forms of storing information.

It used to be the culture in England during the Victorian rule that very prominent families would have wall paintings. These wall paintings were done by professional artists who would paint the images of the family members. These paintings were usually very large. They tried to depict the real size of the individual person. They were hanged on the wall and over time other paintings followed.

With time, the wall hangings made a collection. The collection was used to show a certain pattern that carried some information of the family tree that they were proud of. It is from this ancient practise that the art evolved.

In our modern days, photos do not have to be in walls. Albums can be used to store them, and better still they can be stored the digital way in computers and other electronic storage devices. They can also be kept in picture frames and hanged on the walls or on chests and cupboards at eye level.

To create them start taking photos at very important functions like birthdays, graduations and weddings. Try also to capture very important moments that have a meaning to you, your friends, your family and even work mates.

Ensure you capture the feelings that arise in the moment. Capture happiness, joy, the tears, the resentment and the smiles that make the moment. Be sure to include people you care about in your images. This is because tomorrow they may be not there but the pictures will stay with you for a life time.

Making a collection of the images to depict a tale is probably the most difficult part. Ensure you work with a theme that you are comfortable with. Whether its images to show places, different people or separate event.

Considering your target audience, make a decision on how to present them. It is easiest to store them in an album. This can be a disadvantage as less people will view them. In case you decide to hang them, please pay attention to the amount of space you will need to use. You can store them electronically but ensure you always have a backup system for security reasons. Showing them off in a slide form with captions is a fun representation of your photos.
