Portraits

Want to celebrate achieving a goal or just life even? I offer 2 kinds of experiences and both are outdoors. We either keep it simple with some natural light portraits or we get even more creative with my full lighting suite to create more dramatic and impactful imagery.

Experiences

   Natural Light

With just a camera and no lighting equipment in the way this experience allows for more candid shots as we walk and shoot but also stop for some posed shots.

 Creative Lighting

I bring my lighting suite to a select location and we create some dramatic imagery. I deliver fewer images but with more work put into the shot for lighting and editorial post editing for the perfect photograph.

My Workflow

Raw

Straight out of the camera, no editing at all.

Color Corrected

Edited in Adobe Lightroom to my aesthetic style, which I describe as true to life and detailed.

Basic Retouching

Pulled into Photoshop to clean up distractions, flyaway hairs, and blemishes. All natural light portrait sessions get editing to this point.

Editorial Retouching

Smooth out the skin color and tone, and soften the texture a touch; brighten the eyes, add selective sharpening to the eyes and lips, then tune it all back a little so it looks natural. In some cases (like the lady on the left) I go even further if desired to repair frizzy hair.
