Bollinger Images's Blog – November 2012 Archive (7)

We have already discussed several issues on how to be more photogenic.  There are so many tips and tricks out there on what to wear, what to do, etc that it is almost impossible to cover them all.  So for my final chapter I wanted to give you the highlights of miscellaneous great advice.  I also invite you to add your own comments because the final chapter on this will never truly be written.  We give advice from the point of view of a photographer and make-up artist (and in my…

Its happened to all of us - well a lot of us.  Okay...maybe it just happened to me and a few friends but regardless it is good advice!  It was my junior prom.  I had this beautiful sequined blue and gold dress (don't ask it was in the early 90's) and I wanted my makeup to just be stunning along with my hair.  I took myself to a well-known make-up distributor (of which I will not name) and had their "free makeover" done with the purchase of a lipstick.  I was sooo excited.  She asked the…

Let's face it - not all of us are truly, naturally photogenic.  And many of us who may actually be photogenic, don't think we are - therefore we aren't!  Having pictures done whether it be family photos, business photos, or boudoir can be very stressful.  You know what you want to see when it's all said and done yet actually being confident enough so that the camera can actually capture that is the source of great worry and even fear!  So in this series we are going to…

When we "Slayed the Pricing Monster" we thought we were done.  We got it.  Just how to price our wedding packages so that we can help anyone anywhere.  We did research, read other blogs, compared other pricing models, talked about it and then Bam!  The Ghost of the Pricing Monster started haunting us!  We heard its voice in the background, felt its presence while speaking with clients!  We shivered at the thought of once again rehashing all that we had already - well hashed!  Yet, it would…

We know that a more revealing photography session may be a little intimidating – so why not invite your girl friends! That way you can get those sexy pictures you’ve always wanted and have a lot of fun in the process.  We don’t limit the session to Boudoir – whatever makes You feel Sexy is what we want you to wear…we know that lingerie isn’t for everyone!  I personally feel sexier in a black leather jacket (see below) than I will EVER feel in lingerie!  What about…

I have two purposes for this post...one was to be sure that everyone has the song in their head.  If you are singing it right now or pulling it up on You Tube...I have succeeded!!  The second was for you to see what the Samurai Photographer see's when he is taking "that picture."  You see a Samurai Photographer isn't afraid to move, get dirty, climb, take risks because he knows that the final prize will be a wonderful moment captured!  He has the eye of the tiger - swift, exact, calm yet…

The Samurai Photographer is very elusive.  Just like a chameleon he blends in anywhere he goes - with or without a camera.  You never really know when, how, or even why he may take that picture.  To you he may look like any other guy with a camera...but he is so much more!

You see, the Samurai is very different from someone with a camera - or even someone who is good with a camera.   Half of what he does is never seen!  Not until you get that final proof! (pun so intended).…
