How Can We Guarantee That We’ll Look Great in Photos?

 

How can we be sure we don’t end up with red eye in our photos? And how can I prevent that shiny look under the lights?

”You wouldn’t believe how many of my brides worry about this stuff. But trust me, you don’t have to! For the shiny face, that’s easy: I always carry face powder for my brides. Your photographer may not, so throw some in your purse for quick touch-ups during the portraits.

”If you’re getting down on the dance floor, don’t stress that the photographer is taking candids as you sweat. In the film, you’ll probably look like you’re glowing with joy! As for red eye, every professional photographer knows how to avoid it with lighting and special film that’s why they carry around all that expensive stuff. But if you end up with red eyes in your proofs tell your photographer to make sure he corrects them in any prints you select.”
