Portrait Session or Photo Shoot?

It's probably only semantics. Or is it? I consider a portrait photo session somewhat traditional in the sense of posing and lighting. It is the best way to keep a portait session under control and make sure the essential images are captured. After achieving this though, I often feel that even though still special and customized, I haven't "created " or "invented "anything new.

That is where I make the distinction. Now it's time to play. Now it's time for a photo shoot. Change the outfits, try new formations, provoque reactions, bring out the funky props and backdrops.

I tell my clients to bring many changes of clothes and even their own music. Whatever inspires them. Why not start at the photo shoot then? Well, it always seems to take a few minutes to get in to the swing of things... So start at the portrait session until the feel is more relaxed and move on to the photo shoot. This is fast becoming my own personal style and my clients are happy with the unique images, And so am I.
