Over Thirty  Photographs Were Available  to Use on this Portrait. Most  Included Both People in a Typical Pose, Arm in Arm With Big Smiles. Choosing Which Photographs to Use Depended on Lighting, Expression, Direction They Were Looking, and Size of the Picture. It Also Depended on What the Illustration is Intended to Capture. These Two Are Engaged to be Married and the Portrait is of the Relationship, Not Just People.

This Photo Shows Them in a Casual Setting Enjoying Nature and Life's Simplicities. The Hats, the Shades, and their Shirts Show Lots of Personality.

This is One of  the Couples Many Engagement Photos. The Lighting on His Face is Very Nice.

Another Typical Photo, but Her Smile and Direct Eye Contact Make It the Best Choice for Her Close-Up.

Radio City Music Hall and a Rushing Fountain Contrast the First Image to Show the Diversity of Their Experiences.

Any Parent Will Tell You, the More Kids You Have the Harder it Gets to Take Great Family Photos. It's Hard to Get a Large Group Together with Nobody Saying "I Closed My Eyes" or "I Wasn't Ready." Sometimes a Smile Looks Like it was Forced and Fake. Some People Smile Differently for Pictures Than They Would Candidly.

Two Out of Three- Not Bad. But This was Taken Before the Third Baby.

There's Baby, Plus Two Forced Smiles on the Older Brothers.

Profile Photos of Cars Look Like Boring Diagrams. 

3/4 Views of Cars are More Dynamic, Show a Stronger Presence and Capture the Soul of a Car.

A Portrait Should Show the Speed of the Car, Not Just Its Features.

This Portrait was Drawn With Very Limited Resources. The Parents Wanted to Capture as Much of the College Experience as Possible, But Had Few Photos to Work From. One Well taken Photo (left) was Repeatedly Used in Different Settings. Add a Cap and Gown for the Central Image, Mirror the Photo for the Athletic Award, and Bring in Two Candid Pictures of the Parents to Flank Him and You See a Happy Family. The Head and Face From the Article was Cropped onto the Same Body to Create the Figure Top Left. 

On Her First Birthday, this Angelic Little Girl was to Be Christened. It Happened that Her Birthday Fell on Father's Day. Her Father is the Pastor of the Neighborhood Baptist Church and Would Be Performing the Ceremony. Her Mommy Decided to Have this Commission Presented to the Both of Them On the Morning of the Event. All of the Most Memorable Moments from the First Year are Brought Together. Favorite Toys, First Swim, Parties,  Even the Delivery Room  . The Circle is Used Repeatedly as a Religious Symbol.

This Couple Have Been Apart Only a Fraction of the Amount of Time They've Been Together. The Only Images of Them That are Apart are as Infants. Childhood Friendships, Proms, A Wedding, and the Thirty Years That Have Followed are a Love Story Told in Pictures. A Favorite Bible Verse Tells the Secret of a Happy Life Together, While a Keepsake Wedding Announcement Reminds Us of the Time That Has Passed. The Foot and Hand Prints Celebrate the Individuality of Each Person.

Cherished Memories Stay With us as We Grow and Change. This Family Finds Itself on Many Stages of the Circle of Life. The Circle is Used as a Design Element in Both Subtle and Direct Repetition. The Focal Point Is the Head of the Family, The Parents, Surrounded by a Circle That Seems to Radiate. The Dry-Reed Basket from Their Childhood Home, See Shells and Sand Dollars are Also Circular, and the Flowers Have a Natural Radial Symmetry.
