Snapshots vs. Portraits 1
One of the most fulfilling parts of my career in photography is to create an outstanding portrait for someone who has always felt
they were not 'photogenic.' Who hasn't winced when they saw a snapshot or typical photo taken of themselves. Who
among us has an engaging or flattering driver's license photo? (I do.) So what is the problem? Are we all doomed to have photos
that we dread seeing?
Are all of the photos of you hidden? How will you be remembered? Will it be by snapshots that you
never liked. Will it be by 'look alike' typical studio portraits? How will your future generations see you?
It is only natural that
most people in society are concerned about how we look to others. But the image we have in our own minds may be caused by poor
lighting, poor angles, poor exposures, and poor photographs taken by unskilled photographers whether they call themselves 'amateurs'
or 'professionals.'
On the following pages you will see what I call "Snapshots vs. Portraits." This is dramatic proof thatyou can have a portrait that can 'change your life.' That is what my clients so often tell me. It changes
how they see themselves!
The amazing 'transformations' are actually done without adding any makeup. There is no typical
'makeover.' No hair stylist or makeup artist was used. These are not paid or unpaid models. These are not 'professional
models' either. They are all clients. The photos you see (for each person) were usually taken mere minutes from each other in time. In
most cases only 5 - 15 minutes can make a big difference. In one extraordinary case, only one (1) minute made a dramatic
difference. Both photos (both the snapshot and the portrait) were taken with the same camera, same lens, same person,
same makeup (if any was worn), and yes, the same photographer too!
The difference is not due to computer gimmicks, added
makeup or makeovers. It is a result of my way of working with people to come up with a portrait that they can be proud to have, show,
and share with others. Many claim it is the 'portrait of a lifetime.'
Summary:
This is the introduction to a section of the website that shows the dramatic difference Steadman can make for his clients.
This next section is one of the most popular with visitors because it causes them to see the "WOW" through examples.
