Anyway, I'm back with -
THINGS I NO LONGER
BELIEVE ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY
1-
“The camera never lies.” Oh, yes, it does! It
may not lie in the sense that it records exactly what’s in front of it. But we
all know that it’s a 2-dimensional medium, and we are many-faceted. We look different
from different angles. Some angles emphasize parts we’d rather not see; other
angles hide them (and make it look as if we don’t have them!). When it comes
time to have your portrait made, trust your photography to an experienced
professional, who knows all the angles ;)
2-
“The camera adds 10 pounds.” See #1. And BTW,
it’s the pizza and donuts that add 10 pounds….
3-
“My smart phone shots are good enough.” I know
it’s hard to drag a camera along, no matter how small it is. It’s one more
“device” to contend with. And, yes, there have been tremendous advances in
smartphone photography. However, I don’t know of any professional photographers
who would be careless enough to entrust priceless family memories to the images
from a smartphone. This is a case where “good enough” never is.
If you’re thinking of having a
family portrait created, this is the best time of year to do it! And there
really is a difference between professionals and amateurs when it comes time to
record those all-important milestones. To see the difference, click here.
