If you fancy a serious *feel good* photo session,
then this post reveals the 10 questions to help you get the best from your photo session
The power of questions
Arranging a portrait session is little like a game of charades. There’s a lot of excitement. A little bit of confusion. Not to mention an over riding imperative to get it right. When looking for a portrait photographer, ask how they ensure you’ll get the best from your session. Modern custom photography offers a bespoke experience which involves the option of completing a questionnaire ASKING WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE FROM YOUR SESSION.
Why complete a lifestyle photo questionnaire?
It saves time and avoids confusion. If you’re not familiar with booking a portrait sessions the options available are overwhelming. What is a ‘lifestyle portrait session’ anyway? But if you describe, “I want to give a family portrait to my grandfather” your photographer will know immediately what style to produce. Or if you share, “I want a portrait to give to my husband” the final piece of art will be tailored to suit the gift you had in mind. Answering these 6 simple questions guarantees a more successful portrait session.
