If you want a professional quality formal posed portrait of your daughter who has just graduated from high school, you don`t have to spend a lot of time or money going to a professional photographer. You can do it yourself, with the help of a Paint Your Life artist.
If you have a good quality digital camera (and who doesn`t these days?), simply take as many shots as your graduate is willing to sit still for so you`ll have a good selection. For best results, take photos outside in the morning or late afternoon indirect light against a simple background such as a hedge or wall.
Try for a natural pose and a pleasant smile. Gone are the days when graduation picture portraits have to resemble mug shots. She doesn`t have to be wearing the formal cap and gown either. A straightforward shot from the waist up holding her cap and diploma in her hand can become a beautiful portrait that she will enjoy owning and looking at many years from now.
To make your portrait unique among graduation picture portraits, choose to have it created as an oil painting, a pastel drawing, or a watercolor. Paint Your Life has real artists experienced in many media ready to paint or draw a professional portrait from your best photo.
