About Women's Portrait Photography
Women's portraits are by far the most requested style of photography that our studio has. Many people think of portraits as the typical "head and shoulder" shots you get when you go to one of these "walk in and grin" discount photo studios. We are all familiar with our school portraits, our wedding portraits and portraits offered by a variety of different photo businesses. Most of us have had passport portraits. Maybe we have sat in a "portrait booth". So what is so special about portraits anyway?
Well, real portrait photographers know that portraits are not simply head and shoulder shots but are in fact a mirror into the character and personality of the subject. Portraits can be full length, location or studio, involve the use of costumes (or lack of), and can be shot is a variety of different styles and techniques.
The great Canadian portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh understood this so well. His portraits of famous people like Humphrey Bogart and Winston Churchill portrayed the very depth of their souls and brought to life their personality in a photo frame so that those who gazed upon this portrait felt that they had actually met the person themselves.
Because portraits are intended as a reflection of the character of the subject, there is no rule that says that a portrait need be a head and shoulder shot. Indeed, many fine images have been produced showing the full figure of the subject, often not even the largest element in the frame, but because it portrays the soul behind the eyes, these images are considered to be portraits.
Most people know us for our boudoir photography, our glamour photography and our fine art images. Yet any of these categories, indeed, every category on this web site, could in many cases have portraits included in them. However, for the purposes of this portfolio section, we will stick to what most people would consider to be portraits simply because it would confuse them on a web search if we strayed too far from the expected.
Glamour and boudoir portraits are far more than a simple picture. We try to bring out the inner beauty that lives inside every woman.
