Different clients and purposes require different depictions of the same subject. Even if you have a generic goal of "make them look attractive," I would steer clear of advice on how to make a person look "thinner" in favor of the more difficult but more rewarding goal of making their natural shape more aesthetically appealing. | |

"examples" isn't a descriptive tag.

| Jan 7, 2011 at 6:33 | comment | added | Jay Lance Photography | I think it'll really help people. Personally I tend to be a bit of a PITA when I'm forced in front of the camera (according to my wife, anyway), but I know enough about how to make myself look- passable anyway- that I tend to art direct the shots that other people take of me. "Move left. Close the damn pop-up flash! Move that camera a bit higher. Now I'll just lean forward over my belt a bit aaaand... OK, grandma, take that picture!" Gotta give myself a fighting chance at a decent picture, anyway... Lord knows my wife isn't going to let me completely off without a few pics getting taken. :-) | |
| Jan 7, 2011 at 6:15 | comment | added | rfusca | @Jay Lance Photography - Truth be told I was a bit nervous about posting them, especially the before picture. BUT, I truly, truly hope it helps some of the larger guys like me out there realize that you can have a decent picture made. | |
| Jan 7, 2011 at 6:04 | comment | added | Jay Lance Photography | Solid self-portraits! I think the picture taken by the other photographer vs. the pictures you took yourself are an excellent example of how a bit of technique can really help people look their best. Nice job! As a fellow 'big guy,' I commend you for your decision to post self-portraits on photo.se.com. You're a far braver man than I... :-) | |

| Jan 6, 2011 at 6:10 | comment | added | rfusca | @Jay Lance Photography - Thanks - I really like doing portrait work I think. I'll have to give the rotating the light a try tomorrow. Its off to bed tonight! | |
| Jan 6, 2011 at 5:59 | comment | added | Jay Lance Photography | Good start there on that self portrait! One common thing I see with many of my students is that they don't have the light rotated around their subjects enough and so they end up throwing a little light on the ear nearest to the camera... If you shift your light to your right a bit more you'll prevent that... | |
