Aris Affairs Photography offers tips on professional portraits for your Prescott business

Not all portrait poses should be the same. Aris Affairs Photography shares some tips on professional portraits for your Prescott business.

There are some essentials that need to be considered when it comes to portraits for your business. Let’s start with the basics:

Good posture. 
It is important to keep an eye on your posture. Those being photographed need to check their back and shoulders for posture. Slouching affects the portrait, even if it is only a head and shoulders shot. Good posture will help keep the subject looking sharp and professional. After all, these portraits will be for professional use.

Watch the chin.
In considering posture, it’s important to focus on the chin. In many cases the chin will be up too high. This causes the subject to look down at the camera. The resulting portrait shows too much of the neck, and the facial features look small in comparison. The chin should move down just a bit. However, take care to avoid a double chin from forming by the chin being held too low.

Be comfortable.
Nothing loosens up a photo subject more than getting involved in some kind of action that is compatible with the subject’s profession. It should correspond to their branding, be it welding, office work or dance instruction.

Chat.
Talk about your business, your children, your vacations, or any topic that is fun and light. This will help facial expressions to be natural and relaxed.

Aris Affairs Photography hopes our tips on professional portraits for your Prescott business are inspiring to you. The best way to get a great portrait is with a creative professional photographer.

Aris Affairs Photography discusses professional photographic images for your Prescott business website

No matter who your customer is or what type of business you have, high quality graphics for your website are a must. Aris Affairs Photography has some recommendations that will enhance your Prescott small business website.

All images are not free. 
Images on the internet are usually owned by the websites that posted them. If you’re looking for an image on Google Images, you need to be sure that the images are public domain. You can do an advanced search on Google and filter the search by usage rights. Even still, Google notes that image licenses can’t be guaranteed, which is a good reason to look for alternative sources.

Purchasing images.
If you decide to purchase stock images, make sure you focus on your business branding and your customers so that your images have the greatest impact on your targeted audience.

Once you've found the best images for your targeted audience, remember that the larger the picture the more expensive the price. For print media, such as brochures, business cards or flyers, at least 300 dpi is recommended. For web use, a smaller and more affordable image will work. The size of the photo should correlate to your purpose. If you're using the same image for both web and print, choose the higher resolution images since they can be easily reduced for your needs.

Here are some things to consider when taking photos:

• Headshots should include appropriate clothing and accessories   
• Use sufficient lighting and have the lighting source above the subject or to the side but never behind   
• Don't use a camera flash if the object might reflect it
• Don't use a camera flash on a person   
• Use a solid-colored background that contrasts the subject of your photo
• Consider using a professional light box kit that will show off your products with the optimum background and lighting   
• Try to use a consistent orientation - either landscape or portrait
• Finish your photos using a quality photo editor to make the best of your pics

For professional images for your Prescott business website, trust Aris Affairs Photography to produce the high quality photographs that will set your business apart. Call for an appointment today at 928-642-4049. Learn more at http://www.arisaffairs.com.

Aris Affairs Photography talks about why you need a professional headshot for your Prescott business

Headshots are in and Aris Affairs Photography can help your Prescott business establish that all important first impression. While Hollywood stars and glamorous models can pose all day long, most of the rest of us dread it. It's the thing nightmares are made of unless you're in the hands of a qualified professional like Aris Affairs Photography.

People want to put a face with a name. Professionals such as real estate agents and financial brokers have known this truth for a long time. Media today is far more than just lines of text. Businesses need a digital identity, a calling card. Have you seen profiles with no picture? People skim right past them. But today’s social media rich environment means that almost everyone you know is part of one social media site or another, sites like Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook among the forerunners.

Is your favorite pic the selfie from your summer vacation at the beach or your last birthday bash? Those pics are great fun and may be perfect for Facebook, but the wrong photos can undermine your efforts to market yourself and your business. Most of us need a professional coach to set the right lighting, recommend appropriate attire, the right hairstyle, frame the right pose, angles and expression. We can help you convey what you want that first impression photo to say to your potential customers.

Swap those casual or dated pics for quality, current headshots from your professional photographer in Prescott, Aris Affairs Photography. Schedule an appointment for your headshot today by calling 928-642-4049 or learn more at http://www.arisaffairs.com.

Aris Affairs Photography Explains Why Prescott Businesses Need Professional Photographer for Product Photos

Your product IS your business. When showing it to your public via print or on the web, you want it to look it’s best. It could make the difference between clinching the sale and losing out to the competition. Aris Affairs Photography would like to remind Prescott businesses of some things to keep in mind when hiring a professional photographer to take your product photos.

Involve your web designer - In most cases, the type of photographs you use for your website can affect the quality of your pictures as well as the speed of your website. Your web designer will know which file types you should get. The web designer also knows how and where the pictures will be used and is able to help you determine the type of photos you will need to make your website the best it can be.

The Right “Feel” - Think about how you will be using your images. Should they be just catalog style pictures, or do you want them to show the function of your product. Knowing how you want to use your product photos will help you choose the photographer for the job. As you look through portfolios for potential photographers, make sure their work feels right for your product.

Post Processing - When choosing a professional photographer, you will want to find out if your photographer can also do any post processing that may be required. This can be something as simple as adjusting the contract to enhance your product, or even changing the background if needed. This “finishing touch” can make big difference in your finished photo.

Do A Test Run - Once you have chosen a professional photographer, it may be a good idea to do a small test run of a few products to make sure that you are satisfied with the results and so the photographer gets a feel for what you actually want. Most photographers are willing to work with you because they also want you to be satisfied with the finished product.

Get It In Writing - Finally, making sure the parameters for the shoot and the desired end product should be in writing to avoid any misunderstandings. This agreement should cover costs, copyright of photos (if any), timing and details of finished product to be delivered and costs for additional finished photos after the initial contract.

Professional product photographs can add value to your website and make your product stand out. For professional product photography in Prescott, look no further than Aris Affairs Photography.
