Portrait Photographer

So many of us are camera shy, but having a powerful portrait taken by a portrait photographer have an impact on many aspects to a person’s life. You can possibly land a new career with a good photo or spark the interest of a new client. You just don’t know until you try!

Portrait photography is all about capturing some sense of a person's character rather than producing a technically perfect composition. Bringing out the subject's unique characteristics is one of the features including developing an eye for a good portrait shot and learning how to turn an average shot into a great one.  

Roland C Photography has a great passion for portrait photography and what excites me the most is the reaction when people get their photos, and they are incredibly happy with the end results. The secret to being a good portrait photographer is that you must make the people feel like you don’t have a camera. They must be at their most comfortable in front of the lens, otherwise you will see the tension in the photo

Portrait photography is all about the face and capturing a person’s personality.

It's also an artistic representation of a person's attitude. One of the goals at Roland C Photography is to carefully blend a person's distinguishing facial features while capturing their attitude and personality. 

It is important that communication with your portrait photographer is important. Roland C Photography takes the time to understand what is needed from the shoot, the look, the feel and the expression. This will normally involve the same steps of preparation like clothing, make-up artists, as well as backgrounds or studio set ups and props to meet the brief. A good portrait photographer should be able to assist you in both the thought process and the planning to produce the results you are wanting. It is also Roland C Photography’s job to assist you with your poses, expression and ensure that you are comfortable and ready to perform in front of the camera on the day of the shoot. 

A good and experienced portrait photographer should assist you in each of the steps to prepare you for the shoot. Roland C Photography has an initial meeting prior to the shoot to introduce a flavour to the shoot. Communication and understanding are critical in this initial process.
