 HOW IT WORKS  During our phone consultation we'll discuss your choice of setting. This can be inside your home, your backyard or a range of backdrops. This enables Doug to determine the best lighting techniques. Depending on how many settings, wardrobe changes you have in mind will determine how much session time is needed. We'll discuss with you so you can make choices. We can also arrange to hire by the hour. We'll discuss the best time of day and your wardrobe changes. You may have "props": musical instrument, sports equipment, and hobby related gear you would like to use for one of your shots. During the session Doug will suggest poses as he is inspired to bring a natural look to your portrait. Often these poses become the favorite - as he sees how you move and photograph. You'll view your photos online*. You can easily share the link with friends and family as you decide which photos you like and the sizes of prints. Standard sizes are the most popular photographic prints because matting and framing can result in an economical savings. These sizes are: 4X6, 5X7, 8X10 and 11X14. Custom sizes are also available. The cropping will not match. If the camera takes 2560x1920 pixel images, the aspect ratio is 1.33. (The long side is 1.33 times longer than the short side.) 8X10 is 4:5 aspect ratio or 1.25:1. We trim off the sides. But with our custom sizes we are able to bring into full frame the image as captured by the photographer: 8X12, 12X18. These require custom matting and framing and make a grand statement. Call once you are ready to place your order, or, if you prefer, Doug's assistant will view the online gallery with you while on the phone to answer any questions. *Note: Most monitors are NOT calibrated and what you view on your computer may vary from your prints, but NOT from what we have processed which means the prints will be exactly as the photographer shot and processed. Our photographs are processed to specific ICC profiles for the lab. This ensures the perfect color match from our calibrated computer monitors to your prints. |
