I had the pleasure to photograph my cousin's daughter Sarah. She is a beautiful athletic young woman who is starting college this fall. She wanted some casual shots for her sorority rush application.

Corporate portrait shoot - Behind the scene

2010-04-20T17:40:00.001-05:00

Time is Money!
What's behind a photo shoot? Business men have very busy schedules and are very selective of how they spend their "off-time". As a professional photographer, you must be able to set a shoot and create images for your client at a moment's notice and at any location. Here are the before and after photos created for a corporate portrait of John M., a good friend, and a financial investor and business man in the DFW area. Six months ago, John informed me that he needed some updated photos for various online profiles and publications. He showed up on a Sunday, many months later and had about 30mins to have his picture taken. This is the result of that shoot.

Before.

...after.

Last Saturday, I was fortunate to create images for the Love Portrait of one of my best friends, William and his beautiful fiancee Linda.

Creating your perfect Love Portrait!

2010-02-19T17:05:00.001-06:00

At Edmond Bollo Photography, we understand that your Love Portrait (engagement) will mark the beginning of a new phase in your life. We will create a memorable image of this moment and begin capturing memories that will last a lifetime.

Here are some suggested guidelines to follow to ensure your portrait is at beautiful as it can be.

1. 1. The sooner the better! Schedule your portrait a minimum of 5 to 7 weeks prior to your wedding day. This will ensure adequate time for design and lab processing of your prints.

2. 2. Dress “your” style! Choose outfits that fit your personality and will make you feel attractive. Coordinate your style of outfits and make sure that colors are harmonized. Based on our experience, long, flowing dresses and jeans or khaki pants are better choices than short skirts or shorts for posing.

3. 3. Be unique! Think about including props, large (cars, motorcycles, boats, etc..) or small (musical instruments, pets, etc..) to create a unique portrait.

4. 4. Don’t worry about the location! Once your appointment is set and clothing is selected, we will discussion location options with you. Just tell us what you envision and we will do the rest.

5. 5. Research interesting photo opportunities or ideas! Note your favorite images found by browsing romantic postcards, magazines advertisements, or internet sites. We will try our best to re-create those images with you as the subjects!

6. 6. Consider displaying your Love Portrait at the reception via a signature frame to allow guests to add a personalized message. The Love Portrait can also be included in your wedding invitations or framed as party favors or bridal party gifts.

7. 7. Blog it! We will provide you with a copy of your Love Portrait formatted for use in your favorite social networking sites.

8. 8. Make it a party! Wanting to include a friend or family member to your portrait, bring them to your Love Portrait session. We can turn a single sitting into a multiple-client one all we ask is that you inform us when you schedule your appointment.

9. 9. Relax and have fun!

Profoto Event: Dancers

2010-01-26T14:46:00.001-06:00

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late update.
Last Thursday, I attended a ProfotoAssistant.com event, which is an opportunity for photographers assistants and photographers to test a generator made by the Profoto company. The new Pro-8a Air allows photographers to use the Profoto studio lights with fast cameras without having to wait for the studio lights to recycle. The event was hosted at the Seth Smith Studio, near downtown Dallas.

What better way to test the ability of that generator than having a studio shooting session? Four nearly three hours we were delighted to have three gracious dancers perform while we were clicking away.
Here are some of my favorite shots.
