Oakville Portrait Photography
Friday, July 28, 2006
I've been talking to kids, moms and dads and grandparents I've run into in Oakville over the past couple of weeks, and I'm hearing that most of them do not have good family pictures.

I've decided to make a special summer offer, at the right, focused on Oakville. The discount lets me build a portfolio of portraits of Oakville residents while providing a benefit to clients able to make a prompt decision to have a picture taken.

Controlled informality. We're not talking about snapshots, and you need to chose your outfits carefully and select the props that matter most to you. But no-one needs to get starched and somber and boring and too formal, either.

Is this a bargain? I think so. On September 5, right after Labour Day, the fee increases to $400, and On October 1, it becomes $500.

Happy clients on the weekend -- I delivered a set of portraits to one of my portrait clients, and it looks as if her parents will get a great picture for their mantelpiece. And another client looked at his pictures on Friday night, and will pick them up today. I continue to be very enthusiastic about the high quality of digital pictures. I've decided to extend the Young People Portrait Packages( info is here )until the end of September.

PERSONAL PHOTOGRAPHY LESSONS
Oakville & Toronto
This is the year to buy a digital camera. The three things to remember are 1/ digital is sort of complicated, so you'll need to pay some attention to learning. 2/ Digital is semi-expensive to get the camera -- think twice to triple the price of a comparable film camera -- but costs less to operate. 3/ You'll take more photographs, get fewer prints (no bad ones get printed, so all the prints are good ones) and generally be happier. If you want to go out this summer or fall and buy a camera, you can commission me to discuss your needs, halp you choose for competing models, select the lens of lenses that are best for you, and provide custom lessons on how to get the most from the camera is the shortest time.
Reasonable hourly or package fees.

BAK's background in photography
Brian Kilgore became seriously interested in photography in grade seven, shot his first magazine cover, for the Toronto Board of Trade Journal, in grade 10, and turned professional at 15, shooting weddings and newspaper photographs. Weddings and portraiture helped put him through university -- and then he joined Thomson Newspapers and then Maclean-Hunter Publishing as a journalist, before entering the public relations business. Since establishing his own communications consultancy in 1986, he has photographed men, women, children, cows and calves, scenery, machines, buildings, a lot of cheese, and more, for clients in Europe, South Africa, Canada and the United States.
