Weddings and other special events are usually photographed in color,
but I prefer the "classic" look of Black & White, especially
at sunset on the beach.
What is "Sepia / Color Tints?"
A Sepia finish provides a "warmer, antiquish" feel as compared to
the more "contrasty" look of Black & White
(click here for gallery sample)
"Color tinting" is the process of applying soft pastel color directly to selected portions of the finished print. The idea is not to make
the finished work look like a color print, but rather to project a soft glow
of subdued color, such as in "skintones." (click here for gallery sample)
What kind of clothing should we wear?
Light colored solids or white is best, avoid "prints" which tend to become "busy,"
especially in Black & White. Try to stay away from "logos" on clothing, you'll
be glad you did long after the one you're wearing is "out of style."
Kakhi and denim endure, anything " white or offwhite" is forever.
How long does it take to see the proofs?
Normally, in 4-6 weeks, the "finished" enlargements depending on the time of year
can take up to 4-6 weeks also, a little longer for "Color tints."
Proofs and Finished Prints are shipped through the U.S. Post Office
or UPS
How do I know that I will like all the proofs?
Every successful photographer develops their own style, mine is to capture the essence
of my subject's "personality" from a "documentary" point of view. If you believe as I do
that "posed" pictures and "packages" tend to stifle creativity, then consider perhaps a
more classical and candid approach for your portrait requirements.
