PORTRAIT PACKAGES

The file sizes in your cell phone or your point and shoot cameras are more than sufficient to give you good quality images on your computer screen. The problem starts when you go to the drug store or any 1 hour photo Processing Service. The technologies utilized in these machines on average will give you a print of average quality with a lifespan of anywhere from 1 to 3 years. This lifespan is dictated by how you the consumer display or stores the print. What is meant by lifespan is the time from when you receive the print until it starts to deteriorate. What is meant by deterioration is the time from when it starts to discolor or turn green. This color fading is inherent due to the dyes and the chemicals used in creating the color print.

When you use the services of the professional studio, on average the costs of packages or individual prints will be substantially more than buying a print at the drug store. This is because you are now in the world of professional photo services. Studios use high end photo labs equipped with different products which have been created to address one big issue. This issue is the lifespan of the print. In today's professional environment, portraits that you purchase will have from 75 to 80 years lifespan for color portraits and for a black and white portrait it would not be unrealistic to expect their lifespan to be from 100 to150 years. Acquiring prints of this quality are affordable to very expensive, especially when you get into portraits that are done on canvas with oil enhancement.

This issue of portrait life span may not seem important today but in the future, your children, your grandchildren and their children will appreciate your choice to purchase these quality portraits that will survive for generations to come. The fact that they exist will give them an understanding of your family and who you are.

In today's world of Photography the definition of portrait applies to any photo method that depicts a person's face or form or both in an artistic manner. StarrShots Studios Photographers follow the same rules that have been applied by the classical portrait masters Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Cezanne, who worked as practitioners of painting with light.. The essence of a portrait is to capture the emotions and feelings of the person being depicted. As part of this, the emotions and the perceptions felt by the photographer towards the person will have a direct influence on how the Portrait is created using light and shadows to set the mood or enhance the person. The photographer who started originally as an artist by drawing or painting will have an insight and sensitivity that the average photographer does not possess.
