Aerial Photo Session
20-minute pro photo shoot with Upside Photographer, Hal Schnee
DESCRIPTION:
Book your professional photo shoot with Upside Photographer, Hal Schnee here! Six 20-minute time slots are available Saturday January 3rd between 3:15pm and 5:15pm. WHAT IS THE COST? WHAT WILL I RECEIVE? Aerial photo sessions typically cost $200-350, and only provide you with 5-6 images. For $150, Hal will provide you at least 10 edited photos, in both small versions for sharing on social media and full-resolution for printing. Use them as you wish: to promote yourself as an aerialist, display on the wall, or make gifts for friends and family. You can get photos in multiple costumes and on multiple apparatuses. An Upside instructor will be present to rotate you in the air for the best angles. WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE? Plan to arrive 20 MINUTES before your scheduled time slot in costume with your makeup done for a full warm up. Photo shoots required long pose holds, and this can be surprisingly physically challenging - so for safety reasons, your photo shoot can only begin after you are fully warmed up. HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY PHOTO SHOOT? 1. Start brainstorming ideas for poses, perspective, and mood - whatever you hope to get from the pictures - and we will do our best to make it happen! You'll enter this information on the booking form to help you and Hal prepare for your photo shoot. 2. Start planning your costumes, props, hair, and makeup: We suggest no more than 3 different combinations of costumes and apparatuses to maximize the time we spend taking pictures. If you wear black or grey, your costume may blend into the background. This is not inherently a problem, but be aware of it as you choose your costume(s). If you have long hair and wear it down, it may obscure your face when you're inverted. It may also make it difficult to darken the background and make it look natural. Again, this is not inherently a problem, but just another thing to be aware of when choosing how to style your hair. 3. Schedule at least one Open Studio photo shoot prep session. Practicing holding all your poses for at least 20 seconds. You'll be surprised at the stamina this takes! We can still get great photos of a hard skill that you can't hold for that long, but holding for longer gives us more opportunities to capture the perfect angle and expression. 4. Remember to have fun! We are here to play and be creative. You are giving yourself a gift, and deserve to enjoy it!
