Fairmont Photography |
The Photo Shoot - An outdoor Senior photo shoot will normally last 2.5 hours. There is no limit as to how many clothing changes you can make. However I suggest no more than 4 outfits, as we need to concentrate on taking some great photos. We normally shoot over 200 shots.(Why so many?) Bring make-up & a mirror. You might also bring a hat or other props. Since we are shooting on-location you may have to change clothes in the car. |
Location - Our location will make a huge difference in how the images look, we are looking for backgrounds that you cannot get in the studio. We travel to where you want the photos taken. It can be near your home, a Park, the river, a farm or almost anywhere you would like. We bring our equipment to your site! Probably the best backgrounds are "old" - An old log building, weathered shed, rusted classic car, building that is falling down or any old farm equipment. We also have a Harley Davidson motorcycle to pose with! Other backgrounds include: Rocks, large trees, old fences, brick buildings, alleys... etc. |
What to wear ? - Medium to dark tones of brown, green, rust, wine and blue allow the face to stand out against a dark background. The darker clothing blends with the background and focuses the attention to the face. Black is a good choice for black-and-white portraits. Lighter colors are used against a light background. |
| Touch-ups - Your portrait willn be digitally re-touched to remove unwanted blemishes or imperfections in the background. |
Our Equipment - We only use digital equipment which many local photographers have yet to do. Your Senior outdoor photos look great in black-and-white Ask the other shops to see your photos in black-and-white or sepia . They charge extra! No charge here. |
Location - We are located near Fairmont West Virginia and will travel (at no extra cost) to Clarksburg, Fairmont, Grafton and Morgantown. The actual photo locations are worked out prior to the date by the customer and myself. Try to get any of the other local studios to do location... Forget it! We offer on location Senior School photos at Tygart Lake SP, Valley Falls SP, Cooper Rocks, Prickett's Fort SP, Arden and Cheat Lake. For those wanting alternative locations, we can shoot at any location you desire. Additional fees based on travel distance. |
