By Coleen Torres


Since portraits are intended to last for a lifetime, being passed down to future generations it is important to first select a skilled photographer to properly capture these images. It is a good idea to know what criteria one should use to search for one, so when looking for portrait photographers Boston clients should be mindful of the following points.

Viewing the previous work the photographer has done is the first step, and it will not only reveal the degree of professionalism his or her work embodies, but it will also help the clients determine if the photography style is what they had in mind. If customers have any questions about the photographer's choice of angles, lighting etc., he or she should be willing to discuss it with them.

If a prospective client likes the work the photographer has done, he or she can ask the person a few more questions pertaining to how they go about preparing for a shoot in terms of background selection, arranging and posing subjects and other related details that go into creating an impressive portrait. The responses they provide will indicate just how serious they take their work and how professional the studio's service is.

It is also helpful to get some references from past or present customers, if this isn't possible for privacy reasons, there should at least be some testimonials on the studio's website. Online customer reviews may also be available on unbiased sites and forums if one searches for them. Either way, it's reassuring to know that others have been pleased with their experience with this photography studio.

Creating a beautiful portrait involves a process much like that used to produce any other exceptional work of art. A photographer who is dedicated to his or her craft will be fully skilled in the use of all the tricks of the trade, namely angles, lighting, and background, and will also be able to advise subjects as to which clothes and makeup will look best, and can pose them in a natural and attractive manner.

Passionate photographers should strive to capture each subject's unique personality in the portraits they take. Additionally he or she should be willing to accept any requests the customer may have and answer their questions too. Work should be guaranteed, with price determined by the job itself as opposed to the time it takes. At all times the emphasis needs to be on quality.

When it comes to pricing, a reliable photography studio will be very clear as to the costs for all of the various packages they offer. A flexible choice of print styles and sizes must be available to the customer, which are fairly priced and can be picked in a reasonable time. An itemized invoice should be presented to the customer upon billing.

One of the most important things that should be present when hiring a photographer is a good rapport with him or her. Customers must be able to ask questions, express concerns, and convey their wishes openly, as this is crucial to a positive portrait photography experience for everyone.
