Portraiture with Davis Photo Arts
Bespoke, Finely Crafted Art Portraiture
Model: Anna Marzenka
Portraiture is the very core of what we do. It's woven into every image we take because every face has it's own story which deserves to be recounted delicately and genuinely. Our clients often say we bring out a beauty they didn't know they had. Our editing style respects and enhances that beauty while staying within the truth of our client's presentation.
Bringing our often-guarded inner qualities out in front of the camera can be a delicate thing. Courage, Trust and Confidence are often needed to present your true self to the camera. We can help even the most camera-shy to relax in the moment and embrace their own truth. It's not just a snapshot - the real you draws viewers into your image, creates a connection which stirs both emotions and memories. The vast majority of portraits (whether ours or another artist's) that reach deep into the viewer and engender such an emotional response owes that success to the genuine presentation the subject provided. That's the magic, and everyone can do it!
We've worked with people from all over the world, and have always found *something* to admire in each of them, something beautiful to bring out, something unique. Those details are exactly what endears us to our friends and loved ones. Our goal in each Portraiture photoshoot is to create that genuine and communicative image your truth deserves.
There are many types of Portraiture, and each has it's own distinct camera angle as well as lighting and makeup requirements, and we can handle them all!
Individual and Couples Portraiture:
- We leverage advanced posing techniques to produce an image that doesn't *look* posed.
- We employ a wide range of creative lighting techniques to highlight different "moods" within a couple's relationship, from intimate and loving to unified and unbreakable, to light hearted and easy.
- We provide "Consistency of Look" for triptics, books and albums. Our printing skills help maintain consistent quality across all output forms whether in lay-flat coffee table books, framed or mounted art on the wall, or even triptic panels as a centerpiece of a larger display.
Business Headshots:
- Businesses often have a particular "look" required for their target demographic, and typically need to work across multiple platforms. We keep your look consistent across platforms from print to social media, and create images that seamlessly dovetail with your branding efforts. Full printing rights and copyright releases accompany every business / corporate headshot.
- We are able to create different artistic "looks" for different business units within the same organization or match exitsting aesthetics.
- We are often called upon for the duplication of a "branded look" consistent with prior photos on the corporate website that cannot be re-shot.
- Color-correct images are of paramount importance to many businesses whose trademark and brand include a very specific hue/saturation/vibrance mix. We have the skills and equipment necessary to ensure accuracy.
Other Headshot needs:
We also produce a wide range of headshot styles to meet our clients' needs. Yes, we cost a bit more than some, but we feel the extra care is worth every penny.
- Authors, actors, singers, musicians and other performers need up-to-date headshots to show their current look! We produce eye-catching and true-to-life images that distinguish you from your competition.
- Headshots for dating sites are also a common request. We show the real you, but the best you possible so when you finally meet that person on the other side of the keyboard, you're already familiar to them - that bit of ice is already broken. This also removes the potential for disappointment on that important first date!
