Can we do close-ups and full body?
When you're thinking about a portrait session, it’s natural to wonder about the variety of shots you'll get. Will it be just close-ups, or will there be full-body shots too? This is something many of my clients ask, especially if it's their first time in front of a professional camera.
The Full Range of Shots
I always aim to provide a diverse collection of images from every photoshoot. My goal is to capture you from every angle and show you at your best. This means we'll definitely explore different framing options. I don’t want you to feel limited. We'll work together to create a set of photos that truly represent you.
Close-Ups: Capturing Details and Emotion
Close-up shots are fantastic for highlighting your expressions and personality. They allow us to focus on your eyes, smile, and the unique details that make you, you. These types of shots are very intimate and personal. I often use them to create a sense of connection and draw the viewer in. During the session, I'll guide you on how to subtly shift your gaze and adjust your expression to achieve the most compelling results.

Full-Body Shots: Showcasing Your Style and Presence
Full-body shots, on the other hand, provide context and showcase your entire look. They're great for highlighting your personal style, the way you carry yourself, and the environment around you. These shots can tell a story about who you are and where you are in your life. We can use the location to our advantage, incorporating interesting backgrounds and elements to create visually striking images. Whether it's a stylish urban setting or a natural landscape, full-body shots allow us to capture the essence of the moment.

Everything In Between
Of course, it's not just about extremes. We'll also explore medium shots that strike a balance between close-ups and full-body views. These shots allow us to capture your body language and interaction with the environment. They're perfect for showing movement, gestures, and the overall mood of the session. I love using medium shots to create a sense of naturalness and authenticity in the photos.
Super Close-Ups: Details Matter
Don't be surprised if I suggest some super close-up shots too! These can be incredibly powerful for highlighting specific features or details that are unique to you. It could be your hands, your jewelry, or even a particular expression that you often make. These shots add an artistic touch and can be used to create a more abstract and intriguing collection of images.
My Goal: To Capture You Completely
Ultimately, my goal is to provide you with a versatile set of images that you'll cherish for years to come. I want to capture every facet of your personality and create photos that truly reflect who you are. So, rest assured that we'll explore all the options and create a collection of images that includes everything from close-ups to full-body shots and everything in between. Let's work together to bring your vision to life!
