"Photography takes an instant out of time,
altering life by holding it still."
Dorthea Lange
Put simply, I have a true love for people, and so believe that a great portrait happens from the inside out.
To [Kelly
J. Petersen Photography], the most beneficial element
in obtaining the very best portraits iswithout
a doubt being able
to establish a sincere connection to you as
an individual. Even before the active photographic process begins, I
take may extra steps toward finding out your hidden artistic desires and
acknowledging the comfort zone that will best represent your characteristics
and personal style.
To me
portraiture is a Fine Art Service, one that requires strong technical
skill as well as creativity. I maintain a work flow that is not contrived or
unnatural clicking away in moments where true feeling and emotions shine
through for that magical energy is the essence of portraiture.
[Kelly
J. Petersen Photography] was founded on the belief
that a
portrait should, above all, capture the spirit, evoke emotion, and stir the
heart. You will find yourself engaged in conversation,
as we remain well-aware
of your best expressions, capturing them as one would read a story.
My preferences include the use of mostly natural
and available light. I like a mixture of urban and classic,
contemporary and simplistic, ethereal and rustic.
