Portraiture
P ortraiture is all about the individual.
This issue of Snapixel explores ex-
treme variety in the style of captur-
ing a person’s personality in photo: taking
pictures of yourself, taking documentary
pictures of another, shooting personal por-
traits of those close to you, taking pictures
of people around the world, shooting one
person for an extended portrait of multiple
photos, or simply shooting in the classic
black and white. It’s all about finding the
most artistic expression of a person, and
bringing it to the community.
Cheers,
The Snapixel Team

Nicole is a documentary photographer, Natalie shoots fashion and portraits. In this article Nicole brings us the story of a close=knit
group that, until she explored it, was as unfamiliar to her as possible; Nicole brings us portraits of their parents. But even with the
differences, the work of both photographers has strange parallels. Each photographer displays six photographs from a project of
theirs, and the photographs are displayed intermingled with one another to show the strange connections that the photographs
share. The article is plays with the idea of 3-D, the blue represents Nicole’s work, and the red, Natalie’s. You can look at each
separately and appreciate it for the beauty and significance it brings you, but looking at them together brings you a thrilling, vibrant,
living picture - a whole new dimension of meaning. This is the story of the two sisters Franco.

Nicole Franco
“I’m interested in connecting with others. Communicating and contributing in a meaningful way, but with a creativ-
ity I have personalized stylistically and with authenticity. As a photographer, I am looking; anticipating a truly hu-
man moment. With intimate intrusion, I photograph the beautiful anonymity within the human family. My implicit
challenge is the ability to document the narratives of life found and to translate those stories with significance.”
In this issue it is “Lubavitch Culture - originating in late 18th century Russia the Lubavitch movement is one of the
world’s largest sects of Hasidic Jews in Orthodox Judaism. Lubavitch Jews are known throughout the world for
their devoutly religious customs and beliefs, but also for their philosophy of service and commitment to outreach in
the secular population.”
Natalie Franco
“The imagery of my family reflects a projection of the people in my life. The people that surround me are influential in
my world. Their presence presents ideas, opinions and questions that affect my existence. I wanted to portray them
as unworldly figures that melt away in their environments. The nature of my work deals directly into my subcon-
scious creating these dark and haunting tales of my parents. I am their creation and in return I am re-creating them. “
