Looking through pictures of parents and grandparents shows how photography today can record your personality and story like never before. Two reasons account for this.
The first is that the science of photography allows much more variety in where images can be taken, how much light is needed, and how light can be delivered. This is possible because of more sensitive cameras, and more versatile lighting solutions.
The second reason is that fashion and cinematography taught us more interesting styles of posing and settings. We no longer have the deer-in-the-headlights look, but magically showcase individual personalities, attitudes, and styles. Sometimes, these are genuine. Other times, they're created for a unique and meaningful way of expressing ourselves. A good example is a tasteful boudoir session following surgery that has changed physical appearance. It's wonderful for self esteem to see yourself like Hollywood celebrities can. One doesn't have to be a perfect model to obtain the same allure and beauty with a masterful photographer.
The importance of a skilled and trained photographer makes all the difference. Just as the best brushes and paint will never produce good results in the hands of an unskilled painter, the best cameras and equipment can't create beautiful images until the photographer is trained and seasoned with sufficient experience. Closely compare imagery when selecting a professional. Proof of training, such as certification, is also helpful.
Just be sure to do yourself the favor of having beautiful images created of yourself. Hang them to beautify your home today. More importantly, they're how you will be remembered by soon-to-come generations. Leave a photographic legacy capturing your beauty. Don't wait. We're all as young and attractive as we'll ever be. When is the best time for your portraits? Today. Not tomorrow. Today!
