My Dominican Family - Photo Series [ Denver Portrait Photographer ]

 

It had been a long time since I've visited my family still living in Dominican Republic. I live here in Denver, and well, time flies and before you know it, 15 years go by before you go back to visit.

Once there - and being a photographer and all - I wanted to photograph everything and share quality time with my family, which was hard, because I was traveling with my parents plus my aunt and her husband, and that meant visiting everybody for about an hour and then move on to the next house. I also did a lot of street photography, mostly photographed from the car, because we had very little time to peruse. I will create a second post with the photographs of what I saw from my car and the two road trips we did.

The following portrait series are very personal photos and I am so happy I got to do them. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to photograph every member of my family like I wanted to, but eventually I'll go back again, hopefully with more time to walk around the city, do longer visits, and add more family members to the series.

All the images were created with my Fuji X100s and editing was done with LightRoom 5.

 

Until next time! www.florblakephoto.com
