Studio Photography in Your Own Home

Monday, October 6th, 2008

To look your best in photos you need to be relaxed.While today’s cameras can produce good photos almost anywhere, for truly beautiful portrait photography you need to have the facilities of a photographic studio. I can show you how to look better in pictures anywhere, but if you want really great photographs you need studio lighting. Because it is necessary to reduce the resolution of images to make them manageable on the web, the difference in technical quality between photographs posted on websites is not always obvious. However you can get a feel for the difference by comparing shots in our gallery taken in studio conditions e.g. Cheryl, Guy, and Rose with those that were not taken in a studio e.g. Emma and Fiona. For many people the thought of just visiting a studio is daunting, let alone the prospect of posing for a photo-shoot. If you add to that the need to change clothes, hairstyles and make-up, all in an alien environment, then unless you are a professional model, you are almost certain to feel uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable you are not going to look your best. Every good photographer knows that relaxing their subjects is crucial to producing good glamour, fashion, or portrait photographs: and that can be difficult when the subject is in unfamiliar surroundings.Just as cameras have got smaller, so accessories such as lights and backdrops have become more portable. So it is now possible to set up a studio in anyone’s home, provided that they have some electric points and 10 square metres or so of potential space (for those of you who like me who are more familiar with imperial measurements that’s about 10 feet by 10 feet). I have significant experience of setting up my studio in flats and houses. Yes it takes a little more time and I may have to re-arrange some furniture, but I am extremely careful and your carpets, furniture and paint-work will be safe with me!You have the advantage of being in your own environment, with your own changing facilities, close to all your clothes and personal grooming aids. Please give me a call or email me if you would like to know more.
