Forget about the hand gestures which are so often the hallmark of insincere politicians. Disregard the carefully rehearsed actor’s rhetoric. The most expressive parts of the human body are the eyes. If you really want to send a message to the camera, use your eyes. Sorrow, mystery, anger, joy, compassion, sensuality, fun:- The list is endless. Don’t be camera shy. Engage withe camera. Use your eyes to talk to the camera and change the way you look in photographs. Yes, it takes practice, but it’s great fun. You can use your eyes to scold, to flirt, to question, to disapprove, to chastise……Be they blue, brown, or green they should always be seen. Your eyes are your individuality and using them will greatly improve how you look in photographs. By using your eyes you will add interest to your photos and look better in your pictures.

I don’t claim to be an expert on hair styles but I do have an opinion about what suits an individual best. As an interested third party I find it surprising that the vast majority of brides want to wear their hair up on their wedding day (even our cartoon of the camera shy bride depicts her with her hair up).

Now there are women who look very good with their hair up, women who look good with it down and some who look good with it up or down (Alex, the bride on the front page of our website is one such lady). However girls, if you will permit a mere male to give his opinion, many of you look better with your hair down.

Putting your hair up can give you a very severe look and can emphasize your neck and ears.  Hair can provide a frame for the face and have a major softening effect. If you have decided that a certain style suits you best for everyday purposes, why change it so drastically on your wedding day? 

Another problem with wearing your hair up is that the laws of gravity dictate that at some time it is going to start falling down. You therefore run the risk of having your photograph taken when your hair is becoming increasingly untidy. If you have short hair or wear your hair down, it is a lot easier to do a little titivation prior to posing for your photographer.

If you disagree with me, at least have your photograph taken with your hair up beforehand. That way you can judge for yourself and/or show the photos to a few people who you know will give you an honest opinion.

In a look Good on Camera photo-shoot we give you the opportunity to be photographed with your hair up and with it down.

Throughout my career as a practising clinician I was obsessional about patient confidentiality. I believe that confidentiality has to be absolute. The very fact that someone had come to see me was confidential, let alone the reason for, or content of, that consultation. It was not for me to decide what my patient would want me to divulge and what they would want me to keep confidential. Some people are prepared to discuss their most intimate medical history with strangers while others prefer to hide quite common and trivial things from their closest friends and family.  

I believe that the same principles should hold for a photographer and have therefore added a section on Client Confidentiality on the About Us page of the website. I know that some other photographers do include a Client Confidentiality clause in their Terms of Business. For publicity seeking extroverts that may seem somewhat strange, but there are people who find having their photograph taken almost an invasion of their privacy. Yes, there really are people who are incredibly camera shy. It is this latter group that benefit most from a Look Good on Camera photo-shoot. Confidentiality is therefore vital to our business.

So you can be assured of our absolute discretion before, during and after your photo-shoot.
