Portrait Photography Studio, Minneapolis Minnesota

by Bob Dale

It is important to choose a photographer that makes you feel comfortable. Herein you should understand that not everyone’s personality is an automatic match up. For this reason, it is important to interview a photographer from a Minneapolis Minnesota portrait photography studio and see how they give you the feeling that they genuinely want to make you look your best in your portraits and that they are the kind of person with whom you will feel comfortable working with. “After all, if you have confidence in your photographer, then you will have a more successful portrait session” says Minneapolis photographer Bob Dale.

If you have the ability to envision the end result, your portrait will be wonderful. Once you have had the time to think about what type of family you belong to, write down in a couple of sentences the type of portrait you have visualized. Including the clothes you will wear, the pose you want, and the characteristics you want to show along with the expression should be written down.

It is also helpful to use visualization as this will provide you with excellent results. This can also have a measurable effect in the end results of your portrait session. Obviously this will require some serious thought as you will have to consider who you are as a person, a couple or as a family. This should be condensed into only 1 or 2 sentences so that you can consider how to best portray this in a portrait. As such, you will need to consider such things as your pose, your clothes and your expression.

Have you ever heard the old saying “clothes make the person”? Well this is a fact when you have a portrait made. The choice of clothing will help to set the mood of the portrait. Your eyes and other features show your personality. So flattering the features and character with the right clothes will work perfectly.

The color of the clothing should be fairly subdued and muted. Solid colors are far more flattering than prints and loud colors are a no no! It should also be said that the clothing worn will set the mood for the portrait so it is not advisable to wear the latest, most hip style. Try to stick to classic lines or the portrait will become easily dated.

For a portrait to have a bright, cheerful look, light tones in clothing are not necessary although they will reduce any shadows present.

Dark clothing will not necessarily present a somber mood. They will intensify shadows, make your skin tone appear deeper and they also have a slightly slimming effect.

ery light colored clothing, including white will not flatter the skin. It can give it a tired and run down look.
