DORSET AND HAMPSHIRE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Portrait photography sessions start from Ł40. This includes a 12" x 8" unframed print of your favourite picture!

	Be assured that getting the pictures is the priority not time limits, so the sessions are unhurried, relaxed, and fun! This shoot was in the grounds of Beaulieu House. The little girl was really relaxed and the crocuses were heaven sent!
	It's great to take portraits outside. Portraits taken in your favourite surroundings such as on a beach, in a wood or park, or even in your garden, can create natural, relaxed portraits capturing more of your personality and character. This shoot was on Swanage beach - but name your favourite location and Jon will get some great portraits.
	Jon can also bring your portrait shoot to your home, which can often be a good way to put people at their ease, particularly younger children. Jon has a fully portable studio set-up which he can bring to the shoot location for a combination of natural-light and studio-lit portraits. This shoot was in the little boy's family home in Romsey and you can see how relaxed he feels about it!
	It takes about an hour to photograph one person or a couple; it may take up to two hours for groups and families. For this shoot Jon took about fifteen minutes to set up his mobile studio in the sitter's home. Jon can shoot your session against a black background for a classic "low key" look like this, or against white for a fashionable "high key" effect. What's more we can change the background during the shoot to get the best of both worlds!
	Some of our most treasured memories are of pets and animals we work alongside. Jon can also bring his portraiture skills to capture the personalities of dogs, cats, horses, and the rest of the animal kingdom. Of course, cats tend to be happier in familiar surroundings, but dogs and horses love the beach and the countryside!
	Jon can also take professional passport photos for use in a UK Passport, ID Card, Bus Pass, and for foreign passports / visas, such as an American Passport. Click the link above for more information. Passport photo prices start at Ł15 with additional people in the same shoot from Ł5 each.
	All your photographs will be presented in colour and black and white for you on-line in your own private, password-protected, portfolio. You can browse at your leisure and take your time to choose your favourites. Maternity is something to celebrate - so why not do so with a professional and permanent record of the changes in your body? The best results come when you are at about 34-36 weeks because the difference from your pre-pregnancy shape is so accentuated. This shoot was in the family home - for more details and pictures see Jon's FourT4 blog.
	As well as the inclusive 12" x 8" print Jon offers a number of alternative display options described below. Rest assured there will be no hard sell to ruin a fun portrait experience but please enquire if you are interested in any of these options:
	Disk of all hi-res printable images from Ł150
	Fine Art Wraps from Ł98. Our range of Fine Art Wraps offers absolute perfection using the latest premium fine art printing techniques and a UV laminate provides durability. They are available in two options - white cotton Canvas or Photo finish and come in 35mm or 50mm depths. All wraps are mounted on board and wrapped round a wooden framework to eliminate bowing and damage due to mishandling - unlike traditional stretched images. The Fine Art Wraps are beautifully finished with the corners folded, ensuring that the wooden framework cannot be seen from the sides. Jon can provide your Wrap with a full image wraparound or with a coloured border as shown. Each Fine Art Wrap comes with a fixing attached and is delivered in a presentation box.
	Glacier Acrylic Blocks from Ł75 Designed for exclusive desktop presentation, the Glacier Block gives a unique depth and style to your portrait. Mounting the print to the back of the 30mm block gives a prism effect, allowing you to view the image in different ways from many angles. The Glacier Block is available in many sizes and is beautifully presented in a material lined black display box.
	Acrylic Panels from Ł199 Designed to suit a modern living environment, the acrylic panel compliments many different locations. It comes in a variety of sizes and is available in a gloss, satin or metallic finish. The Premier (top) is made from 5mm frosted acrylic back and front plates separated by raised fixing pins at each corner. They are offered as single image products or as triple sets in two different sizes. All the acrylics come with a protective laminate on the gloss and satin options. You can also order replacement images for all sizes so you can refresh your frame on a regular basis without having to order a whole new system. The Artistry panel (bottom) is a clean and sharp way to present your images. Your portrait is mounted in the centre of a clear 5mm acrylic panel and then finished with an identical top layer. The Glacier Artistry is suspended using a simple keyhole fitting and comes with an attractive aluminium stand off in each corner.
	The Reflections Multi from Ł199 If you can't choose a single favourite image from your Dorset or Hampshire portrait shoot, why not choose several? The Multi offers an overall size of around 24x24 inches with 9 equally spaced 6x6 apertures. Your images are carefully placed behind highly polished 15mm thick acrylic blocks and then fixed into each aperture in the order of your choice. The Reflections Multi is made from high quality 30mm deep MDF and is fixed to the wall using the 2 recessed eyelets on the back. The product is finished with a high gloss lacquer in three popular colours - red, black and off-white.
	Hardback Coffee Table Books from Ł75 These digitally press printed Hardback Coffee Table Books are ideal for presenting your portraits in a thoroughly contemporary style, creating a timeless memory in traditional book form. The pages are printed on a satin coated 170gsm paper on both sides and are stitched together providing a sturdy and durable finish. The hardback cover is photographically printed and laminated with either gloss or matt finish and you can print text on the spine. The Coffee Table Books are available in 8" x 6" and 12" x 9" sizes. You can order from 10 pages (20 sides) up to 80 pages (160 sides).
