How often do we get to meet 30 'boys' who are descendants from a family of seven brothers, gathered to know each other better and record their ancestral relationship in a portrait. Well I was lucky enough to get such a feast for my experience recently.
Poovarasan (not in the picture) is a young and energetic youth in his twenties, with much love for anything family, and its history. He was the lead and inspiration in organizing this project. He contacted all his uncles (decided to keep the aunties for the next round) convinced them of the value and importance of such a family gathering of cousins and recording them in a portrait.
Thousands were spent on buying or stiching, 'jibbas' with color coding to identify the different ancestral lines. 31 of them gathered at Lux Me Images accompanied by a few wives and family members. It was a festival in our studio that morning.
The resulting portrait was finished in two days and exhibited in our booth at the Indian Wedding Expo 2009. The public were amazed with the 'one of a kind family' image.
Some family members were very emotional during and after the recording, for they came to know and meet each other for the first time or after a long interval. I was touched and my eyes welled when the praises of my skills came non stop.
To top it up Poovarasan presented me with a quality full sleeve shirt and my wife Alamu with a beautiful peach green saree. We know that these are from their heart, and will treasure the memories for years to come. We are inspired to make every recording session, a unique experience for our customers.
