SO DO I….. I have an intense dislike for my picture being taken EVER, therefore I have so much empathy for how daunting it is to have a camera in your face. The last thing I want to hear is “Oh, Just relax”!
To be perfectly honest, there is nothing natural about the process of having your portrait done, and it’s going to suck for a little while.
But don’t let that scare you away. Portrait photography is a two-way street and I’ll be asking you to participate in the process and not “Just relax”.
I know when you look in the mirror you see a person you know better than anyone, you know you have a good side & you have things you are proud of. That’s the person I want to see. I want the person who is looking in the mirror and saying, “Today I feel good, Today I know I have a good side, Today, I’m going to own this and do well”.
This is will be your time to act, I will only be asking you to do this for a short period of time. So to get the best from our time together, I need you to participate in this process as well. I will make jokes, some of them may not even be funny. But rest assured, I won’t be asking you to relax!
So I hope this gives you something positive to focus on the next time you have a camera pointed in your direction. If you are looking for a new portrait visit some of my galleries so you can get an idea of my style.
I am not a studio photographer. I prefer environmental portraiture on location. You know, like putting someone in their natural environment and making portraits of them. Like here
