Rob Oresteen Photography introduces The Portrait Party Plan. This is a relaxed, fun way to get excellent, natural photography of your children and teenagers.

Here is a sampling of the fun and sometimes striking images that can be created in a relaxed, non-studio setting.

A Portrait Party will usually be hosted at a home with refreshments and some food. Sometimes, hosts will have a cook out as well, but that’s not necessary.

The host will get a free 8×10 and 4 wallets for 1 pose. He/she will also receive print credits based on total sales at the party. This can add up to hundreds of dollars towards FREE re-prints, wall portraits and other gifts.

A Portrait Party will have 3 or more qualifying families. You can choose from 3 value packed collections - please see the Portrait Party Plan page at my website for specific details.

There will be at least 10 images per family suitable for wall portraits or an 8×10. These poses are available at additional cost and the a la carte pricing can be found here.

Images will be available on line to view within 48 hrs. All images are professionally enhanced and re-touched. Images requiring extensive re-touching and can be quoted separately.

Please contact me today to set up your Portrait Party. You will get images that you will treasure for a life!

There is a picture on the Olympus web site depicting a dog laying next to a building. Olympus says the dog is in shadows and that the new Shadow Technology helps to expose the picture “properly”. On the NoBS Photography Forum there has been some debate as to whether this result can be obtained with any camera, given the skill of the photographer.

Andy Armstrong of design|house, who is also a moderator at NoBS has an opinion of whats going on with the light in this picture. It’s a compelling and a good tutorial. Here is his take and a modified picture to go along with it:

“Let’s play “photo CSI” for a second on this one, because it’s deceptive. Now, if you placed a dog in the middle of a field with the sun almost at his back, and exposed for the background, then yes, you’d have a dark dog. However, there are a lot of factors in this image that give the dog extra light (much the way a reflector would). I would suggest that any camera would have similar results in this exact scenario.

See my notes in the image below. ”
