Portraits

I am of the mindset that a portrait is made not taken.I believe a successful portrait makes a connection between the subject and the viewer. I can shoot almost anywhere but ideally the portrait session is where the subject feels as much at ease as possible. The nature of my my main business – interior photography (Portfolio menu above), is by necessity location based and so is my portraiture. I really enjoy doing portraits and wish I did more.. – Portraits

Personal Work – Color

There is an old adage that you can tell a lot about a person based on the shoes they wear. I think a photographer’s personal work tells you a lot about how they approach their craft. The Portfolio menu at the top of the page represents my main work  - interiors.  The link below represents work that I am compelled to do. This work reveals much about how I view photography – the art of photographing light. – Color

The Lighting, the FirePlace … and the TV

When having an interior photographed tip. It is important having someone familiar on where and how to turn lights on/off /dim, these can be quite sophisticated and obviously affects the ambience of the room. All table and floor lamps should generally be “on” during the shoot so they should all have working bulbs, especially those with three way bulbs.

If there is a gas fireplace become familiar on how to turn it on and check the damper. Also if there is a flat screen tv in the room then sometimes it cannot be avoided in the final image. Know how and which remote to use because often having the tv “on”  is a better option then having a big black rectangle in the final image

Staging -

If the shoot involves an active residence  - first deal with the clutter as in telephones, alarm clocks and all those plug-ins (often not quite under the bed), magazines and books from the bathroom  and family photographs unless they are part of your design should be temporarily moved as with things on the refrigerator door.
