Your experience will get underway when you are welcomed with light refreshments and then the experts will get to work on your hair, make-up and styling to ensure that you look your very best for the camera. They will also talk you through the process so that you can recreate the look yourself whenever you want to.

Gone are the days when a family photo meant an awkwardly posed group in matching tops staring fixedly at the camera. Modern technology and a more naturalistic approach to group shots have made family photos a pleasure both to pose for and to hang on your wall. Most people find that the family shots they take themselves are always missing someone as they have to actually take it, so the chance to include everyone in a picture is particularly special.

You can choose the style of photo to suit your preferences, so you can have a traditional backdrop with classic composition or something a little more spontaneous and casual. The end result is a picture that sums up your family life perfectly. Your session will comprise of a photoshoot which can include up to fifteen family members from two or more generations. Your photographer will take plenty of shots which you will be invited to view before choosing an 8” x 6” portrait of your choice. You will receive £20 off any additional portraits purchased. There are more than 70 studios nationwide so you’re sure to find one which is conveniently located for you.

In many ways, babies are both the best and worst subjects for photographs. All the things that might seem frustrating and unmanageable can also combine to create the perfect picture. Their unpredictability, their lack of self-consciousness and their ability to focus so completely on the moment can all make for a magical memento. A baby photoshoot is also the perfect opportunity to capture one of those moments of babyhood which seem so fleeting as your child grows up. Your 8” x 6” colour photograph will be a snapshot of a special moment from your child’s early days.

Today, the simplicity of taking a photograph is due to a series of technological breakthroughs which have created the advanced and user-friendly cameras that are available today. When Sony launched the first digital camera for the commercial market in 1981, it was the first step on the road towards the modern ubiquity of cameras which are now so widely used that we expect to be photographed more frequently than any generation before. The rise in the number of photos which are taken has been truly astronomical.

In 1900, Kodak’s launch of their ‘Brownie’ camera was the catalyst to a sudden upsurge in the number of pictures taken and by 1930 around one billion photographs were taken per year. Just 30 years later, in 1960, around three billion photos were taken every year, and this number has increased up to 1980 when humanity was snapping around 25 billion pictures every year. Today, it is thought that we take more photos in a two minute period than the whole population of the earth took throughout the 1800’s.

Photography ...a quick snap shot in to its history

19

For many people, taking photos on a modern digital camera is the perfect way to capture the important milestones of your life, alongside some of the inconsequential moments which can spark some of the most treasured memories you have stashed away. However, having a camera and being able to take a striking photo which you may wish to display in your home are two completely different things. Professional photographers today are able to use modern technology to alter and adjust photos beyond all recognition if they choose to, and can enhance any image to bring out the best in their subjects.

While photographers of the past may have had to understand how to process film and manage a dark room, today they need to be intimately familiar with the computer programmes which allow them to manipulate the images they take. That can be as simple as removing a stray hair or hiding a small blemish or it could mean completely changing an image to give a different finish or removing a whole person should they need to do so.
