  FASHION/MODELING/BUSINESS HEADSHOTS
 
Selecting a Session Style from the beginning will help direct the feel of
the session, how you want to look and where you want to be
photographed. You pick the place(s); in studio, at your office, or at an
outdoor location. During your session, I take unlimited photos in the
time alloted for your session. From this, I narrow down the poses to your
proofs. I see it as part of my service to select the best images from the
session. Photo editing is a critical part of photography. Too many clients
get caught up in the quantity end of things. Just as you trust me to know
when to press the shutter you can trust me to pick out the images that
best convey your personality. My job is to give you the best possible
portraits.

My creation fee includes:
  • All proof files on a low-res CD
  • High resolution TIFF files of your selected proofs, retouched  
  • Reproduction rights for portfolios, business use, and personal
    purposes

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What Clothing should I wear for my Portrait?

A. Solid medium to darker tones (e.g. gray, black, navy blue) with long
sleeves work best in most situations, since they help direct the attention
to the face. If you would like to wear a suit (or a sports coat) and a tie
please stay with solid colors for your coat, shirt, and tie as well. Should
you go out and buy new clothes just for the photo session? That's up to
you. The above description is a good general guideline for clothing that
is helpful for portraits. However, it is just as important that you are
comfortable and feel like you are yourself in the clothes you wear. This
will assist you to allow yourself to be who you really are during your
session. And this is what my portraits are all about.

Q. What about Hair and Make-up?

A. Women should have their hair appointment no later than a week prior
to the session. This will help ensure that you look natural in your
photographs. Wear the least amount of make-up that you are
comfortable with. I realize that some people don’t feel comfortable
without any make-up. That is ok. Just keep it to a minimum. It is much
easier to retouch a few blemishes than to get rid of the pasty look of
make-up in a photograph.

Men need to consider their facial hair growth. If you have strong growth
you may need to shave directly before the session. Also ensure that
your hair looks natural.

Q. Can you arrange a hair stylist and makeup artist?

A. A hair stylist and a makeup artist can be arranged for $50.00 per
hour - EACH - 1 hour minimum.

Q. I am building a portfolio. How many images do I need?

A . A portfolio normally contains 15-25 photos and tears. However, the
key is QUALITY -- not QUANTITY.  A portfolio with 5 great shots will
always be better than a portfolio of 5 great shots and 20 mediocre
ones.  Careful editing and updating to "refresh" your shots is important.
As you gain experience and more photos & tears, use your best new
shots to replace older shots in your book. Also, use different
photographers. We all have our own styles!

YOUR PROOFS

Photo proofs are scaled-down low-resolution and untouched images.

After your photo shoot, you will receive your "photo proofs" on CD. You
can easily browse through all the photos from your shoot to pick out
your favorites.

Once your favorites have been selected, they are processed to make
them look as perfect as possible.

Photo proofs are not intended to be used for any purpose other than as
proofs.

OUTDOOR SESSIONS

If we are shooting OUTSIDE, bring your favorite music, lots of drinking
water, and some fruit for a snack.

Guys - Bring a razor if you want some shots with stubble and some
without.

4-5 different tops.  Focus on solid colors, textures & clean neck lines.

I shoot for full frame, mostly vertical and tight shots to focus on the
SPARKLE in your eyes.

Come well rested and ready to SHINE.

No family, friends or pets please.
