Advanced Techniques and Expertise

Philip Kent first does a brief facial analysis of each individual. He then modifies our professional studio lighting equipment and techniques to compliment each person’s face, minimizing any concerns such as eyeglasses, wrinkles, blemishes, uneven features, double-chins, bad-hair day, or even a no-hair day. With 30 years of portrait experience, Philip Kent can create a pleasant and favorable image of anyone, using advanced and established portrait techniques to minimize any imperfections or concerns you may have. After a sufficient number of poses are created, the most favorable one is selected by you with our guidance, all retouching is done (very important) and is included at no additional charge. Total time needed for most appointments is only 25-30 minutes. Payment can be made by personal or business check, Visa or Mastercard. Sessions are done at your location with a portable studio brought in and setup. For set-up and photographing one person the fee is $275. Additional individual portraits photographed at the same time are discounted to $125 each.

Tips for a GREAT Business Portrait/Headshot…

1) Get an EXPERIENCED Professional Photographer. Just having a good camera isn’t enough. You need professional lighting with backgrounds AND knowledge of posing and lighting techniques to make people look good. Retouching and a host of other skills all combine to create a good result.

2) Choose a good fitting suit or blouse/jacket with a simple weave. No textures, bold stripes or bright colors that are distracting. Keep clothing timeless to avoid dating yourself.

3) Wear a solid color. Grays, navy, forest green, chocolate photograph better than black or white. Go for contrast with ties against a lighter shirt.

4) Imagine that the camera lens is your best client. Welcome that client with your eyes. Think of the relationship you have with that person. This exercise will add warmth and approachability to your portrait.

5) Listen to the photographer. He has the skill and experience to make you look good. Have confidence in his abilities and you will be extremely satisfied!
