Shooters Everywhere!
What a great weekend. Perfect Spring weather – in the middle of July! Awesome.
Saturday I rode my bike down to Market Square for the Knoxville Farmers Market. Picked up a few small produce items (including some “Tennessee Redneck” garlic – strong stuff. I like the strong stuff).
Anyhoo, it seemed that the nice weather brought out a lot of photographers and snap-shooters. About every other person I saw on the Square had a camera in his or her hand. They were photographing crowds, buildings, kids playing in the fountains … name it. I usually try to keep a camera with me at all times, but I’ve somehow misplaced my little Nikon Coolpix pocket camera. I hate that. It’s usually in my bike “trunk” to keep with me always. I guess I need to get on the ball looking for that thing. Never want to miss an opportunity for that perfect shot.
Gotta match?
Off and on, for a few years here and there, I played around with meeting people on various online dating sites. While I never met the love of my life on there, I have met some really good friends. Definitely worth the experience!
But one thing I noticed is the number of really unflatteirng photos people put up on their profiles. I mean, if you really want to show what you look like, you really shouldn’t have pictures of yourself waaaaay over there where you can barely be seen, or blurry pics of you at a party, a dark and grainy pic from a webcam, or … wow, people actually do this … a scan of your driver’s license photo!
Wouldn’t you rather have a good, casual photo that really looks like, well … YOU?
What I’m offering is a small, inexpensive package to get just that. How about a good headshot, a 3/4 shot, and a full body pose for $35? That may seem really inexpensive, but this is not a full-on studio type shoot. It’s very casual. It’s you looking like you. It’s me meeting you in a place designated by you (within a 15 mile radius of downtown Knoxville) where we spend, oh, a half hour or so doing very simple, nice, high quality photos that are all yours after the shoot.
As soon as the shoot is done, we’ll view the images together and pick the best of each pose. It’s that simple.
It may be that you later decide that the images are so wonderful that you’d like to have prints. I will post them online in a personalized, password-protected web gallery so that they may be viewed and purchased.
While I can’t guarantee my photos will get you the love of your life, I can guarantee they will be of the utmost quality. You’ll certainly stand out from the rest of your “competition” with their ID scans and blurry party pics.
