Cuantas veces le has comentado a tus amigas e inclusive a tu esposo

-"No tengo nada que ponerme para la sesión de fotos"

y de pronto sale la idea de o una amiga muy hábil te dice 

-"Ve a Marshalls, Ross o JC Penny compras algo y mañana lo regresas…"

y ese mañana no llega por que tienes muchas coasas por hacer antes del nacimiento del bebe. 

  Es muy normal ponerte nerviosa cuando se acerca la fecha de la sesión por que la mayoría no estan acostumbradas a estar frente a una cámara y no tienen claro como elegir la ropa lo que si esta bien claro es que deseas las mejores imágenes de maternindad: radiante. 

    5 consejos para elegir tu ropa de maternidad para una sesión de fotos. 

 1.- Elige ropa con tonos solidos o estampados suaves, no lineas muy agresivas que distorsionen en exceso en la foto.  Quieres armonia y atracción ? Elige y combina bien los colores

  Si la sesión va a ser en estudio,  los colores pastel vienen genial para conseguir armonia en la foto..

2.- Llevar 2 o 3 cambios de ropa siempre es una buena idea, estas un paso adelante de las amergencias que llegasen a ocurrir

3.- Acompaña los distintos modelos para la sesión con complementos que uses en tu dia a dia. 

 4.- No compres ropa de un dia para el otro o el mismo día de la session por mas bueno que sea el fotógrafo, resulta imposible que muestres confianza frente a la cámara con prendas nuevas que no representan tu personalidad intentando parecer alguien que no eres. Viste ropa cómoda en la que te mires reflejada tu. 

5.- Ropa sexy o conservadora ? Cualquiera que sea el caso conserva tu estilo de esa forma proyectas la persona que eres y con el paso de los años continues admirando esas imágenes que demostraron mucho amor por la llegada de tu nuevo angelito.

Una buena foto tiene menos que ver con la realidad, y más que ver con cómo te posicionas frente a la cámara te voy a proporcionar un secreto bien guardado que los fotógrafos usa  para posar pero ahora úsalos y la próxima fotografía aparezca espectacular. 

 1.-  USAR LA  LENGUA  

   Esta raro verdad ? Si, así como lo estas leyendo presionas tu lengua contra tu paladar mientras sonríe, provocaras un alargamiento de tu cuello, esto es excelente para evitar la doble papada y/o cuellos cortos. 

0001.- 2.- CARA EN ANGULO.

    Si le pides de favor a tu amigo(a), familiar o algún desconocido en la calle evita posar de frente por que la ausencia de sombras se mirara mas ancho largo o falta de color intenta pararte de lado e inclinar tu mentón o barbilla  ligeramente hacia abajo o hacia arriba.

0004.-

3.- GIRA UN POCO TU CUERPO Y POSICIONA TUS BRAZOS.

 El tradicional truco de la alfombra roja: gira tu cuerpo en 45 grados y usa tu mano sobre tu cadera dirigiendo este lado hacia la cámara, ubica todo tu peso sobre una solo pierna, extendiendo un pie hacia al frente.

0005.-

4.- EL CRUZE DE TOBILLOS

 Esta es una pose muy casual pero a la vez elegante. Cruza tus piernas a la altura de la pantorrillas simulando caderas más delgadas y piernas mas largas Este movimiento lo puedes usar aun cuando estes sentada.

0007.- 0006.-

5.- NO COPIAR LA POSE DEL GRUPO.

   Imitar las pose de quienes están a tu lado no es una buena por que  la vista fichara a la persona que maniobra mejor esa pose, así que posicionate con la naturalidad que te caracteriza. 

0010.-

6.- SONRISA O SERIA ?

  Las expresiones dicen mucho y se considera la cereza en el pastel. Reir mucho externaras la imagen de rara y si estas seria demasiado fria. La solucion ? Relaja tu cara y separa tus labios para que el labio inferior se alinea con la curvatura dental. Sonreir con los ojos. 

0011.- 0012.-

7.- PRACTICA UNA BUENA POSTURA. 

  Utiliza el espejo de casa y practica varias poses que consideres es tu personalidad. En caso de copiar poses modificalas para tu persona pero la pose basica es caminar derecho, no solo proyectaras seguridad sino también lo determinante que puedes ser. 

0009.-

There is nothing more precious than a the look a child's face during the holidays the innocent excitement and wonder They will grow and change but the portrait never will. 

While today is still here, capture the memories and timeless spirit of childhood with a professional portrait. The image taken today will be priceless tomorrow... because nothing is harder to replace than yesterday.

Atlanta-headshots-Marco-Castillo_0002

At the end of March, I met up with Ricardo Ortiz in midtown Atlanta to put together some business headshots that he could use to market his portfolio.

Ricardo is a real estate agent with a bachelor’s in psychology—and a very good friend of mine. That made this session especially meaningful for me, because knowing that a friend trusts you to help them market themselves out in the world makes a big impact. In the world today, a business headshot is important for all professionals. A good business headshot gives potential clients a first impression of your business and of you as a professional. I was so pleased to be able to help Ricardo get the right professional business headshots.

I wanted to showcase Ricardo’s personality in this session, so I decided to start out with a white background to create a soft environment. I wanted to capture a harmonious feeling of his desire to help people, one that he is carrying over from his degree in psychology to his new business in real estate. 

We also made use of the city environment to create some more grounded images to showcase Ricardo’s determination and solid decision-making. The gray concrete and pavement felt like the perfect contrasting background. In fact, one of my favorite images was in the parking lot, where the white lines stood out behind him but his relaxed posture said that he builds no borders, only bridges. 

It’s a pleasure to be able to photograph Ricardo and to showcase a Hispanic entrepreneur as well. Ricardo has so much to offer the world, and I hope that the images we captured during this session will help him to market himself, connect with new clients, and strengthen his new business.

Love and sesitivity

 Anyone with a camera and some film can "take a picture", but it takes a creative craftsman and a sensitive human being to create a portrait which helps you look your very best, and also expresses the "You" which those who love you will instantly recognize!

There are three concepts involved in creating truly fine portraiture which will be treasured for years and years.

1.- The use of light and shadow to paint and image which brings out all the good features and quietly subdues the less desirable characteristics of the subject.

2.- The use of photographic and artistic techniques to create a striking, sensitive portrait, while also designing a piece of art which you will be proud to own.

3.- It takes a warm, compassionate human being to help you feel comfortable in front of his camera. For even with items 1 and 2 above, without this important attribute, a portrait photographer can never hope to create a truly meaningful image. For most people do not feel comfortable in front of a camera, and if they are to look their best, they must feel comfortable with the portrait artist.
