Tips on what to Wear for your Pro Portrait Session

What to Wear for a Photo Session?

Your photo session is right around the corner and you are not sure what color to wear or what color looks good on you, so you choose Black. Now, if everyone is wearing Black and you post your photo on LinkedIn or a social media site, guess what? Your image will blend right in with everyone else’s and you will be looked over. Their will be no WOW that’s different! A common mistake most people when going into a photo shoot. Picking out the right outfit is important and Andrews Photography can help.

First, figure out what kind of background you most desire, white is in right now and lit by the sun is the way to go. If you are wearing black and the background is white your body will look heavy. Easy fix, wear a solid color so the viewer focuses on your face.
Background choice number two, pick a color or light grey. If your hair is thinning this is a great go too solution. This will help to create mass hair and the center of focus again is the eyes and face.
Background option number three, if you have a company color try to incorporate that color in the photo with the use of a secondary color or object. Out of focus backgrounds digitally dropped in are pretty hot right now see our website for examples of this technique. http://www.Andrews-Photography.com

Both Great photos pictured above but the one on the right will get noticed in a sea of other people wearing black. Photos from IAAP event we did last night.

The outfit is easier than you think, please don’t ask your mom, unless she happens to be Dawn Stebbing.

• Ask a friend to give you some idea’s of what they thought were your best colors you wore in last couple of months.
2. Ask a co-worker the same thing
3. Try a professional like Dawn Stebbing or a personal shopper at “Nordstrom’s”.
4. Look at your hair if its dark you may want to try ranges of cool reds, warm purples, medium blues
5. Medium blondes go with blues, greens, corals, or even a gray top on a white or light grey background.
6. Everyone, solid colors are best, layer with a scarf or wear pearl earrings for a classy touch, less is more.
7. Don’t forget your tans and browns if you choose one of these, layer it with something colorful under or over it.
8. Guys bring extra sets of everything and don’t forget dark socks, (leave the white ones at home).

Colors are a extension of your personality, keep in mind your main focus of a personal image used for business is. The image should say I am fun to be with and I know what I am doing in my chosen profession.

Ask yourself this while looking at your old photo,  Would I be willing to work alongside or with this person in a small room.

Event Photography, Hmong College Prep Academy

Andrews Photography, Event Photography for Hmong Prep Academy,

We documented The Hmong Prep Academies Ribbon Cutting Ceremony – outside on the stairs of the main entrance to the school. The ribbon cutting had plenty of sunshine but the temperature was a bit chilly. The Formal Program was documented in the new Auditorium, We also took photos of their new Gym & H.S. Cafeteria while people celebrated.

What Hmong College Prep Academy is about, free tuition for students, all day everyday Kindergarten a freshly cooked breakfast and lunch for ALL students, busing for all with door-to-door pick-up/drop off for students in grades K-8 (Twin Cities & select suburbs), Uniforms provide consistency among students, Convenient St. Paul location, just off Snelling by the State Fairgrounds, 8 AM to 3 PM school day, 30% of staff members fluent in Hmong for non-English speakers. Low 15:1 student to teacher ratio and a a focus on college as a end result for each student.

They also offer After school academic support, Sports, clubs, and the arts…there seems to be  something for everyone.

Tips on great Food Photography from Rod Andrew Wilson, Owner and Photographer of  Andrews Photography,

1. Have the set ready to go before hand and try using a stand in for the Hero food

2. Food does not stand very long so have it fixed and then shoot it, never eat the food you shoot

3. To get the shine bring a small brush to coat lettuce or food with oil, if you have the budget hire a food stylist

4. Light from the back and reflect the light back into an on the plate

5. Use a tripod and focusing rail if you can

Chiropractor the Wonderful…. Woodbury Spine

Andrews Photography talks about chiro guy and photo shoot for Woodbury Spine,

creative room photos, commercial shoot,andrews photography chiro center

I think the chiropractic profession gets a bad wrap sometimes. When you hear the stories it’s always about someone that went one time to get an adjustment after a car accident and said i feel worse off than I did before going in and never goes back. Think long term care not a quick fix. Your body was not created in one day it took nearly nine months to build. I just found out that the first system you grow as a fetus is the nervous system. Keep your nervous system healthy, you have a great chance of being healthy. The car accident messed you up in a second so give your chiro guy a few months to get you back in fit shape.

My experience I bought a new house and spent a summer fixing up the grounds lots of dirt digging my right knee popped out of joint from all the jarring. I could barely walk, the pain was pretty bad too. I called Justin Nye the chiro guy of Woodbury Spine he said, come on in and we will get you fixed up. It has been three weeks now and my knee is back in shape. He did not just do the knee, when I go in I get my back, toes and neck re adjusted too. He does wonderful work, thanks to all the staff at Woodbury Spine.

I believe in him so much I have sent my friends and family to see him. My kids just 7months old and gets adjusted too! If you have a colicky baby then get your kid in he or she is crying because something is out of wack. It worked for us and it will work for you too.

Woodbury Spine, Justin Nye. We did a photo campaign that involved taking portraits of each individual that worked at the clinic, room shots, exterior and details. The next phase will be to highlight the massage therapy aspect of the business. The clinic is really cool fun wall colors and interesting angles. We wanted to utilize those aspects in the photos. We found a nice overlap of tones and did the portraits near that corner. For the ladies we had a small soft box and used a model fan to get their hair moving. Who would not want to look like a model. Some minor face retouching and burning the corners of the images finalized the images. When you are planning a project like this try to schedule in about two to three hours for shoot time.

Andrews Photography captures Creative Head shots for the firm of Halleland Habicht PA

Andrews Photography captures Creative Head shots for the firm of Halleland Habicht PA. a quick summary of what Halleland Habicht does, They believe in a new approach to the firm/client relationship. When conditions can shift in a nanosecond, businesses and organizations need heightened responsiveness that goes beyond reactivity and comes from second-nature familiarity with your core goals. That’s where they come in. Literally.
They say they will come in to your office, your boardroom, your meetings and your phone conferences until your vision becomes their vision. their goal, plain and simple, is to be a member of your team. That’s why they offer a full spectrum of law, consulting and policy services, all under one roof, so you can count on a unified strategy and real results for your business. Lastly, they offer a flexible fee structure that reflects these goals, so that in everything they do — from business acquisitions to health care compliance — you come first. If you’re looking to go beyond just hiring a lawyer or consultant and want to find your firm, they invite you to get in touch with them. Here is the link to some of the portraits Andrews-Photography created for them.

Andrews Photography did the shoot from 8:00am to 3:00pm, we accomplished three different poses for each individual and several different pods or group photos. Some interaction or staged client interaction photos. Most of the details of the firms meeting rooms and entry way.

The staff was fantastic and worked hard on bringing in a few items that reflected their personality or that clients connected with them. Andrews Photography came up with the idea of using creative words to place in each of the staffs portraits. These words were printed out and placed on a name plate somewhere in the portrait.
