Valentine's Day coming soon! - tips for good photography

Valentine's Day will soon be upon us and we will all be looking for a card and present for our partners or would-be partners!

Why not enlarge, mount and frame a favourite photograph of you and your partner together. Here are some examples of couple shots I have taken recently. It might have been a romantic moment or place, a holiday you both still talk about. A great present which you can hang at home or they can have at work.

Perhaps you can organize to take a special portrait yourself of your partner, or give someone else, family or friend, a chance to practice their portrait technique. You could of course take a trip to a professional, many do vouchers that you can present as a gift on Valentine's Day and book a date together at some future time.

These pictures were of course done during an hour spent with me getting that professional image. Sometimes a location is best and I enjoy getting out with the client and seeing places with a portrait in  mind.

 Sometimes people prefer to be in the studio especially if the weather is letting us down.

All the best improving your portraiture, and whatever you do - don't forget Valentines's Day!
