Questions To Ask When Planning Portrait Photography Assignments

There are many who claim to be an expert in portrait photography Gloucester. However, in reality,

not all these names are able to live up to the expectations of the customers. Therefore, hiring them

blindly without weighing the pros and cons is actually a bad idea. From amongst the many names in

portrait photography Gloucester, you have to scrutinize the options that suit your requirements and

accordingly hire expert photographers to do the job. There is no basic definition for a good portrait

photographer Gloucestershire. However, it should suffice to say that the person should be a pro with

the camera and have an equally impressive portfolio that speaks volumes about his or her abilities.

Here is a look at some questions that you should ask when planning a portrait photography

assignment:

What is the location?

As is understood, a good portrait photographer Gloucestershire is known for his pictures. But a good

picture is a blend of the people being clicked as well as the location in which it is being clicked. Yes!

Both factors are equally important. While choosing the location, you can stay indoors (preferably the

home of the customer) or simply go outside. Each location has its own advantage. For example, home

is where your customers (those being clicked) will find a strong emotional connect and therefore give

better expressions. However, when you choose the outside, you get more open space to play around

with. My recommendation would be to ask the client for their preference and comfort level with each

location.

What is the size of the photo?

If your customers are demanding a big size photo, you need to ensure that every detail being included

in the frame is absolutely clear. This is because, the picture is magnified and when put on display, it

gives people a chance to see much more. In case of a smaller photograph, this is not always true.

Is it necessary to use Photoshop?

These days a lot of photographers take random clicks and then use the Photoshop program to fine

tune the details. But this is not the right approach. You need to click good pictures and rely on

Photoshop only to enhance the already existing features.

How long will the session be?

A good portrait photographer Gloucestershire may end up stretching the assignment for hours.

However, it is your duty to inform the customers about the time duration of the portrait photography

session. Give yourself an upper limit and ensure that you stick to it for best results.

What does the customer want?

Sometimes the customers have specific requests. Make sure that as the photographer, you

understand these requests before you take charge of the lens. Accordingly, tweak your approach to

deliver as per the expectations.

With these simple questions, you should be able to get a lot of guidance for your portrait photography

assignment.
