Dr.Chiasson's Dental Clinic. Staff Portraits Update.


Since I photographed Dr.Chiasson's staff last year (see HERE), they added couple new employees and their portraits on website needed an update.  It was important to use same lighting, background and editing to match new portraits with the old ones.
 
Whenever I photograph I try to get everything right in camera to reduce my postproduction time.  It's a very good practice which requires a lot of patience.  However there are other times (like in case of this shoot) when heavy retouching is simply unavoidable.   

For example, little girl in pink dress ran across the frame to her mother (wearing blue shirt). Everyone had a great laugh and it released some of natural tension which everyone gets when put in front of a camera. It resulted in friendly and inviting portrait.

I decided to post couple of before/after images from this shoot just to show what kinds of distractions needed to be taken care of. 

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. As always, my apologies for spelling mistakes. English is not my first language.

Dr. Christian J. Chiasson Dental Clinic

I was contacted by Dr. Christian Chiasson with request to update portraits on his dental clinic's website.

Christian had very clear idea about the images he wanted. During our conversations he was passionately telling me about importance of treating their clients as if they were family, creating welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, and how crucial it was to create portraits which will convey those feelings.
For me, as a photographer, it was VERY refreshing to hear that!

My goal was to create friendly and inviting expressions, showing some personality of each one of Christian's team.  

After visiting their website I chose the clinic as a location for our shoots (we had 2 shoots in total). Orange wall of the clinic's reception seemed interesting and very un-traditional background colour to me, which only added to the uniqueness of the portraits. Later in postproduction I added more warmth to the images for better blending with the website's colour theme.

 Got to say - I was charmed by Christian's female team, the ladies seemed to enjoy this experience and totally rocked the photo shoots.

Visit Dr. Chiasson's website for final results.

Invest in your image.

It's always a great time to update your website, business card, Facebook and LinkedIn profiles. 
Time to delete that old photo taken with point'n'shoot camera and hire a professional photographer to do it for you.

Ok, you may be saving $100-200 by asking a friend to do it for you, or even worse - by doing it yourself. But poor quality image of you or your employee will cause much more damage than what you save. 
How do you expect people to pick up the phone and call your business if you didn't even bother to look good for them and at the meantime expecting them to pay top dollar for your product and service?  Seriously. 

Your image is such a small, yet such an important detail, which simply states that you care!   

Show your clients how much they mean to your business! 
Show them you value true quality! 
Single portrait can tell everything people need to know about you and your business. Invest in it!  


Give me a call and I'll arrange the rest. The studio is right in Downtown Moncton!

Traditional portrait, traditional look.

I'll be honest, every time I get prepared for any type of portrait, whether it's executive headshot or editorial, or maternity and newborn,  I think: "How would Annie Leibovitz light it?".
I try to copy her style, which she perfected over the course of a very long and successful career.  I don't really expect to ever achieve this goal, but I'll keep trying, cause in this pursuit I keep discovering little things which eventually will become the foundation of my own style.

Executive Portraiture. Shore Road Pictures.

Here are a few portraits I did for Tony Whalen and Gia Milani, vice-president and president of independent film and television production company - Shore Road Pictures. 
 I photographed behind-the-scenes of "The Art of Decay" directed by Jillian Acreman, which they were producing.  
 For their portraits they wanted to go beyond traditional head shots and get highly personalized images for publicity and editorial use, which I offer to my most demanding clients who want to make a statement. 

 Make-up artist Debby Clements and Hair stylist Melanie Richard completed this impeccable look.

Maestro Tony Delgado.

I finally convinced my best friend Tony Delgado to come in for a portrait session.
Tony is a conductor of international level right now directing the NB Youth Orchestra and El Sistema.

Quote from the NBYO website:
"...the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra has a secret Venezuelan weapon, the conductor Antonio Delgado, himself a product of El Sistema, who left his position as musical director of the Teresa Carreno Theatre in his homeland to settle in New Brunswick in 2010 and direct both the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra and its Sistema project."


His talent and passion for music can not be described in wards. You must hear him and you must see him conducting!

Few more images will be added to this post later.

Portrait of a musician. Gregory Parra. Clarinete & Saxofon.

 Gregory is a clarinet and saxofon player who recently moved to Moncton to teach kids play at el Sistema (if you don't know what Sistema is, then look it up, it's an amazing after school music program for kids here in our town).

 Gregory came in for a photo shoot the other day. He is a very interesting character.  There is this very positive energy just purring out of him,  and I was thrilled to photograph him. The session was very relaxed and we got some very good shots.
