Color As A Statement ~ Clemmons, NC Photographer

To continue the "what should we wear for our portrait session?", we will look at the "rules" for classic portraiture soon. But, for now...it seems like I am falling for the simple, clean look of high key {especially white} backgrounds more and more!
High Key backgrounds & props were "in" during the 80's and into the 90's and it became a staple when we were photographing babies. Just wanting to change things up a bit, I didn't use it quite as much for a while..using colors, darker backgrounds and doing lots of outdoor sessions.
However, when color (clothing color, hair color, etc) has a specific purpose in the overall image, at times it can speak the loudest with NO color in the background..and maybe no props either.

So, whether we need to say "Merry Christmas!" or  "LOVE those red boots!"... the white background can be just another tool to make it happen.

We nailed it!
What a thrill to see that once again, we were voted as Winston-Salem Journal Reader's Choice
Best Photographer for 2010-2011.
Seriously, it means a lot that you took the time to give us a "thumbs up" to express your confidence in our studio and what we have to offer.
Since there was no interview for the write up on our studio, it apparently came from the writer's impression of our website. I was especially pleased that it mentioned my love for the business extends to our valued employees, because the integrated effort of the Team at AGP is  truly what makes the portrait experience as they described... "positive, fun and memorable."
But only with the BEST clients and friends can we even be considered for the BEST Photographer and we thank you for that!

Forsyth Woman's Girls Night Out @ New Town Bistro

Every Month, Forsyth Woman Magazine has a GNO at a different local restaurant and the last one was at New Town Bistro. It must be something that we ladies love to do because I could hardly find a parking space when I got there and it was wall to wall of beautiful women. The owner of New Town, Kyle Agha (shown in photo with his son) had special Firefly Martinis and bar bites just for us!
