We hired Patty for our engagement photo shoot & to say I am impressed is an understatement. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfortability. I loved how she let us choose our editing style. She returned the photos quickly and the quality is amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for photos to be done. More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
There are many factors that can contribute to taking a great photograph, but one of the most important secrets is to have a clear understanding of the basic principles of photography. I have spent years learning and practicing this craft. Here are a few things that go into planning a perfect session.
Composition: The way I arrange the elements within my frame can make or break a photograph. A strong composition will guide the viewer's eye and create a sense of balance, while a weak composition can be distracting and confusing.
Lighting: The quality and direction of light can dramatically affect the mood and atmosphere of your photograph. Understanding how to use natural and artificial light is an advantage I have that is essential for creating dynamic and visually interesting images.
Timing: Capturing a moment at just the right time can turn an ordinary image into something truly special. This requires anticipation, patience, and a willingness to take risks and experiment with different approaches.
Ultimately, the secret to taking a great photograph is to practice and experiment with these elements until I find my own unique style and approach. And always remember, the best photos are often the ones that capture a genuine emotion or moment in time, so don't be afraid to let my creativity and intuition guide our session!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What is the purpose of the photography session? Are you looking for portraits, event coverage, product photography, or something else?
What is the theme or style you are looking for in your photos? Are you looking for something traditional, candid, or creative? Do you have any specific ideas or inspirations you would like to incorporate into your photos?
Who are the people or subjects that will be included in the photos? How many people will be present, and what are their ages? Are there any special considerations or accommodations that need to be made for any of the subjects (for example, individuals with disabilities or special needs)?
What is the location for the photography session? Are there any specific requirements or restrictions at the location (for example, permit requirements, specific hours of operation, or noise restrictions)?
What is your budget for the photography session? This will help you understand what types of services the client is looking for and whether any special accommodations need to be made.
What is the timeline for the photography session? This will help you understand how much time you have to prepare for the shoot and how much time you have to edit and deliver the final photos to the client.
Are there any special requests or needs that you would like to discuss before the photography session? This could include things like wardrobe suggestions, props, or any other details that will help you capture the best possible photos for the client.
