Portrait photography isn’t something women are typically looking for. On the other hand, there are always lots of occasions where women will search for great engagement, wedding, newborn, and family photographers (usually in that order). Some women know that they want to celebrate themselves and a special occasion for a session is never necessary. Want to know the benefits these women see in having their photo taken by a professional photographer? You’ll be able to decide whether artistic portrait photography is something you may have been missing out on! You may even surprise yourself!
If you’re like most people, you’ve contemplated how you’re looked at. This thought quickly snowballs into thinking about your imperfections; all of the negative thoughts that would go through their mind. You probably don’t think of the negative things. I’d like to share why you shouldn’t worry about what people think because the ones that matter in your life aren’t seeing what you see (or think you see).
Here at Made by Ten we like to do a little bit of everything. It keeps us on our heels and although we have a distinct style, we aren’t afraid to veer from it to make great images. If you take a look at our inspiration examples in “Women in Art” dropdown you’ll see we have “Modern Portrait”, “Modern Glamour”, and “Modern Boudoir”. While we consider all of our work “modern”, these stand out the most as a departure from “traditional” or what we like to call…”old”. Are these “modern” versions right for you? P.S. It makes a special Valentine’s Day gift!

You see those beautiful models and celebrities on TV and in magazines and think you could never look good in front of a camera. You may not have been born with the same symmetry or physical features, but I would humbly have to disagree. I believe anyone can look gorgeous. Sometimes you just need someone else’s eyes (and camera) to help show you.
Can you guess which of these photos is of a new model, experienced model, or non-model (client)? I bet you won’t get it! [Read on to check if you were right.]
It may sound crazy, but I have the same insecurities as most of the women that get in front of my camera. I recently spoke to a client who asked, “Have you ever been in front of the camera.” I’ve always believed that empathy is the key to photographing people. So what are you afraid of when you’re in front of a camera?
