Prestige Portraits

Maybe I just went on a bad day, or maybe I just didn’t get a very experienced photographer, but either way I would definitely take precaution when planning portraits here.
I came here to get my senior portraits done, as they had been having a special at the time. Several friends had gotten their portraits done there, and one of them even had two rather large ones hanging on the wall (see rather dark, goth looking pictures with a blonde haired girl), so I was pretty optimistic. I had brought nice clothing to change into, as I was alotted three outfit changes, and my make up was camera ready. Though I’m not necessarily the take-​charge-​be-​in-​control type of person 100% of the time, I definitely expected to have some input. Well not here I didn’t. My final choices were picking out the 6 sets, and that’s where it ended. While I had some great, classy suggestions, the photographer ignored all of them to instead put me in several very uncomfortable, and inappropriate, positions. In one set I was wearing a nice gown to match the formal setting. The poses she coxed me into were very suggestive, or very uncomfortable. For most of the pictures she insisted that I look up and away into some distant corner, which no good photographer would recommend. If it weren’t for the fact that I was only paying $ 10 to have these done, and that the place was incredibly crowded, I would have definitely been a lot more demanding. Yet with every suggestion I tried to make, the photographer readily cut me off.
If you want good pictures, this is place isn’t all that bad. If you want a good photographer, go somewhere else. Or at least demand a new one once you realize the one you have has taken all control.
