Many people have unpleasant memories of the "Family Portrait" where they were squashed together and blasted with a flash in their face. I on the other hand, believe that a family portrait should be a family heirloom that captures the essence of a family with an image that everyone can be proud of. These portraits can be shot at the home, in the studio or at some special location.

When you mention glamour portrait, it evokes a very special type of image. There is special lighting, special sets, make up artists, hair stylists and more. This is not your garden variety of a portrait with a plain backdrop. It's all about setting a special emotion or mood and then photographing that emotion and capturing it. I specialize in shooting with the "old school" type of hot lights such as ARRI's which is the only way to really capture the old Hollywood look. I also shoot with CFL continuous lighting for fashion style of shooting where the smallest change of the face or position can make or break the power of the image. This lighting lets me shoot constantly without fear of the strobes not keeping up with my shooting. And yes, I shoot with strobes also as needed. In addition, I can shoot with real film for that special look that is almost impossible to get with digital. I use a Mamiya 645 1000S medium format camera which gives us a negative that is about 3 times the size of 35mm or a full frame digital camera.

A new idea in photography is taking a digital picture and then using a special software package and a graphics tablet to "paint" the image. The same techniques that are used in a oil or water color painting are used in the digital version and the effect can be striking when printed on a canvas. This makes for a very unique form of wall art for your house or place of business.
