Portrait Session
Definition: a photograph of a person or group of people that captures the personality of the subject by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses of many creative endeavors and disciplines.
What is the goal in each Portrait Session?
Stephan’s aim is to create imagery that is evocative, impactful and tells a story about that person whose portrait is being taken. In order to achieve this, Hudson places an emphasis on personalizing each photoshoot to the client/ model.
Hudson’s approach is to learn a least “one thing” that represents the model/client, and to incorporate that item(s) or prop(s) within the shot, thus capturing an essential essence of identity within the portrait.
1. “Mini Portrait” Session: A 15-30 minute session where a photograph of a person or group of people that captures the personality of the subject by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses of many creative endeavors and disciplines.
