Before and After ~ No More Excuses! { NC Portrait Photographer }
"I'm too..." old, wrinkled, fat, pale ...the list goes on and on. So many folks put off having portraits made until they lose weight or they feel they are too old or just plain "I don't look good in pictures."
First let me say, I get it! I do not enjoy the thought of being photographed, but I want to at least help you consider all the possibilities before putting it off any longer.
Whether it is room makeovers, wardrobe updates or even "Trick My Truck", the appeal of "Before and Afters" is the hope that something can be improved upon.
Since I would never embarrass anyone by pointing our their flaws, I have never gotten to show a good example of what we can do with the less than perfect subject. As I was getting a new head shot to accompany an article I was writing, I realized I would be the ideal "non-perfect" subject!
We start with posing our subjects in a flattering way and finish it off with just a little polish that brings out their best features. On my portrait (double click image to enlarge), a higher camera angle reduces the heaviness around the chin(s)...Yikes-did I say CHINS? Oh well, there's more: in post-production we go on to reduce the wrinkles, diminish the folds in the neck that gravity has brought, smooth uneven skin tones, remove those stray wiry, gray hairs and even correct smudged makeup. Not that I am ready for the runway or a magazine cover, but at least I feel better about it...and that is all that matters!
As a professional photography studio, the expectation is that we will make you look better in your portraits than you could do on your own. Of course, we strive to go way beyond just meeting those expectations and proudly stand by our 100% guarantee that you will be THRILLED with your portraits!
