Have an Edge. How to be unique in photographs.

I get a lot of calls and emails from 2009 seniors or their parents.

Tam, we’re looking for something different.”

I hear that a lot and I LOVE that they think I might fit their photography needs.  That makes me feel great.

The truth of the matter is that “different” and “unique” — have as much to do with YOU as it does your chosen photographer.

What you bring with you for props (remember that article I wrote?), what you wear, your PERSONALITY — all contribute to how “different” your pictures turn out.

You have to work at it as much as I do.  But together…it’s magic.  I know I use that word a lot — but I really feel that is what happens — when it all clicks together and the photographs become amazing.

Take Bronson.  Now.  Bronson is one of my 2009 Senior Models this year (and rightly so, don’t you think?) — so I had the pleasure of photographing him for a second time this week — and what was really cool was the difference between the first and second shoot.  There was a LOT more things about Bronson this time — who he is…what he likes…all defined in photographs.

Plus — he knows how dorky I am so he was prepared this time.  ::laughing::

Here’s your sneak peek B — I LOVE how edgy this is.  Can’t wait to show you the rest!

Shari — Forgot to say a TOTAL ditto on everything you said too... the subject is always half the equation! They definitely have to do their part as well. You worded it perfect... when we work together... pure magic happens!   ( August 26, 2008 @ 2:29 pm )
