Taking (& selecting) photos

The left hand menu contains the option "Articles. This link will take you to a set of informative notes on various aspects of portrait photography. I hope these articles will help clients take, or select, good photographs for me to work from. Open/close a full list of articles available.

The day-to-day difficulty with portrait commissions is the poor quality of photographs that customers frequently submit. That's not to say that I need studio photos to work from (far from it), but I do need something that gives me an opportunity to produce good quality artwork.

There are finite limits to the type and magnitude of corrections I can make to a poor photograph, and in particular, I cannot use guess-work to make-up missing details; the result would be a portrait of an imagined person, who may be quite different from the subject.

 

Let me photograph the subject

If you live in reasonable traveling distance (within 30 miles of the Tyne Tunnel), I will come and photograph the subject for a single fee of £25.00. Please contact me for further details.
