Portraiture for individuals as
well as couples if one of the oldest professional forms of photography
and has evolved over the years from tin plates to perfect images
delivered in a variety of forms.
While many people love cars, or
landscapes or abstract, I am in
love with people. Portraiture is my way of capturing the
beauty and individuality I see in everyone. My way of telling people -
this is how I and the world sees you - and you are wonderfully made.
Ever wonder why people never
smiled in old style portraiture? Quite simply, the cameras in those
days couldn't handle movement so they had to get into a pose and keep
dead still - this also meant not smiling because it is difficult to
keep a smile for that long.
Thankfully we now have the technology to take amazing photos in a variety of setting as well as capturing perfect moments - even of someone is fidgety or moves a bit. In fact sometimes the most amazing shots are those unposed, capturing something as it is happening.
And of course you can choose between a variety of styles and settings. Informal on location or seated in a studio. Walking on the beach or at play in the bush. And of course one of my favourites, Lifestyle Portraits showing the elements that make up who you are.
Singles wanting to try something
different or couples wanting to remember the early moments - why not
spoil yourself with a photo-shoot. And of course there is nothing more
romantic than doing a couple shoot for the elderly who are still as
much in love today as they were 40 plus years ago.

Oh yes - and take some extra time with it.
If you are quite happy doing this on your own great and if not why
not check out my Service Links off the emain page for highly
recommended stylists and make-up pros.
Yes - I do appreciate the opportunity to showcase my work as it does
bring in more business
When I say on the web however, I do not mean all over facebook etc
but rather as part of my portfolio on photography forums etc.
If you really, really, really don't like that idea you just say so
and I respect your wishes.
This is really up to you - depending on what you are wanting out of
the shoot.
Pick a theme and go with it. A semi formal couple shoot with her in
white dress and him in black and white. A country style portrait set
for her with lacy flowing dress and flowers in her hair - plus
barefooted.
There is no right or wrong here. I will be sending you a guide as
soon as you confirm your booking which will give some great advice as
well.
And why not get a bit creative just for fun - let your imagination
work a little and together we come up with something.
Generally a portrait or couple shoot will take one to two hours
depending on if you want on location that is a bit distant, a change
of clothes etc.
Part of a professional photographers job is to put their clients at
ease in front of the camera - and because of my nature and style that
happens very quickly.
Believe me when I say that 99% of clients cannot believe the time has
flown so fast and wish it could go on.
So would I - so would I!
I really enjoy theme shots especially when the client gets into the swing of things. Great shots abound!
Just let me know ahead of time so we can chat and plan.
It is always a good time to get photos and rather late than never.
These are generally a litle more formal in nature but what the heck -
we can do anything you feel like.
Let me know what your thoughts are, we plan a little and off we go.
