Example of an On-Site Photo Shoot

Catrina and I were in Lexington, KY last weekend and made an impromptu video in downtown's Triangle Park next to Rupp Arena to show how we quickly and easily work with someone to create on-site portraits. This video had no planning and was done in a single take in less than 20 minutes but does a nice job of showing what we do. Had we planned on making the video beforehand, I'm sure Catrina wouldn't be wearing a T-shirt from the Poison concert we attended in July!

One question we frequently hear is, "How good are you at posing?" Posing someone properly depends on several things: angles that flatter the subject, the surroundings, the mood of the photograph, number of subjects, etc. We take a casual approach with lots of verbal prompts while trying a variety of poses. Posing is part experience, part trial and error. We like being creative and take lots of pictures using several poses. In the end, we always find images our clients love.

We'll be posting more videos in the near future so you can learn more about Royal Aperture Photography and our shooting style.
