What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
To capture a moment in time, or something significant about the person.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
A photo session will typically take around an hour. And please bring a change of clothes for a formal shot (-white shirt, tie and suit jacket) and a less formal outfit.
The image will be of upper body only.
If you wear glasses please bring all your glasses with you; the reason for this is to see if they are non-glare and which looks the best.
If you are contemplating a hair cut please do so about two weeks prior to our session.
During this session I will show you live images as we progress. This is an interactive collaborative session. I will guide you all the way. ?
I retouch virtually every image as a matter of course.
Once you are pleased with the image I will ask for permission to use the image(s) for
marketing my business. I will not release or use any image both you and I are not pleased with.
At the end I will provide you with digital images which you can download online via DropBox.
Please let me know how soon you would be ready to proceed and your preference for time of day whether morning, afternoon or evening so I can provide you some possible appointment times.
