Photoshop is not a substitution for preparation and has its limitations.
”Photoshop is not magic” so please don’t assume that everything can ‘fixed’ in post-production ie

• facial expressions (especially)

• changing background/wall colours, clothing colours or extending busy complicated backgrounds

• Creases removed from clothing

My aim to produce natural looking images.
Best practise is to get it right in camera so I urge you to read and follow my tips in the getting ready guide.

Certain things really help:

• removing clutter and personal effects and tidying up your space before I turn up - just think about what you want or don’t want in the shots.

• don’t wear clothes that emphasize parts of your body that you don’t like ie. not wearing sleeves when you feel self-conscious about your arms.

• wearing sufficient and well applied makeup for the camera - booking a makeup artist really helps!

• being aware of underwear lines or textures showing through clothes - try your outfits on before the shoot day and look in the mirror IN GOOD LIGHT.

• Ironing or steaming outfits.

• Preparation is key.

I see our session as a collaboration and the success of the shoot is a result of us both doing our parts.
