The Portrait Studio
Working in a portrait studio can be fun and very satisfying;
you will work with a whole variety of different clients who have
many different requirements of you as a photographer. In order
to help you in the photography studio, there are other people who
will work with you to undertake different roles. These will include:-
 Receptionist - to greet clients and make
them feel at ease - many people feel self-conscious when they
are going to have their photograph taken, and it is necessary
to make them feel at ease. A good receptionist will help to make
this a pleasurable visit. The receptionist will probably deal
with the administration of the portrait studio as well, taking
telephone calls and dealing with payment issues.
Assistant Photographer , who will work with
the photographer to make sure that the composition is correct
in all details, and to manage the lighting of the portrait.
Developer/Finisher - in some photography
studios, photographs are developed in house. The developer will
be skilled in this process, making sure that development techniques
enhance the portrait. With the advent of digital photography,
this part of the process has increased value, and the developer
is replaced by a skilled computer technician who can use digital
enhancement techniques.
The Photographer , who takes the portrait
and manages the whole procedure.
