Getting to know your photographer or capturing your inner beauty

Getting to know your photographer, or capturing your inner beauty

Creating a positive relationship

We passionately believe that there should be a positive relationship between the photographer and the subject.  With us, you will be dealing with the photographer from the moment you get into our studio and to the final selection of your photos.  This approach is what makes us different from other competitors when, quite often, you may not meet the photographer until the day booked for your photoshoot. 

For us, the art of getting to know you is just as important.  Our objective is not only to give you some lovely photographs but to make sure those images reflect the very best of your personality.  We can’t do this without getting to know your likes and dislikes and talking to you first, of course. 

Feeling good about yourself

The most successful photographers in the world make a point of establishing a relationship with their subjects.  We search for the best angle, the most appropriate light, the ideal environment for you, and so on. We also want to make sure you are feeling comfortable.  You need to look natural as there is nothing worse than a forced, stiff, pose.  We are around to direct you and make you feel natural, not to tell you what to do.

For example, one of the most important things is keeping you moving, making you feel relaxed to connect with you.  A successful photo shoot is almost like making a movie together; we direct and offer props. At the same time, you play up your role, and by so doing, you express your real personality, for long-lasting and natural images you’d always be proud of.

The alchemy between photographer and subject

The alchemy between the photographer and the subject must come out in the finished images.  At Robi’s Studio, we are with you all the way, capturing your interests and helping you select the best dress, accessories and hairstyle so that you will be delighted with the final results as well as the overall experience.

Quinceanera photos in Covid19 times

A list of Covid19 precautions we have in place for your safety.

Covid19 has inevitably created challenges and paradoxically has put restrictions on what should be one of the most relaxing experiences for a girl on the occasion of her big day, the opportunity to be free and express herself without many obstacles.  Sadly these are the times we live in, so we at Robi’s Studio have had to rise to the challenge, to make sure we continued to offer you an outstanding experience, but with all the precautions you would have expected us to have during the Covid19 pandemic. 

We thought you’d like to know what these precautions are and we have listed them here for you:

  1. We can only see you by making an appointment.  Unfortunately for your safety, we need to make sure we only have a set number of people in our studio.  We can’t afford the risk of having too many people at once, so we are obliged to ask you to come in at a set time – at least you can also be assured of our undivided attention!
  2. The use of masks is obligatory – for your own sake and that of our staff we ask you to be considerate and come to our studio wearing a face mask
  3. Hand sanitize as you walk in (we provide the hand sanitizer)
  4. We limit the number of people to 4 in total and during the photo session only 2 can accompany the girl
  5. We send you all the photos by email for you to pick a selection at leisure, rather than having to come to our studio, to avoid the risk of additional contact
  6. We thoroughly disinfect every area after each session, every time a client leaves the photo studio
  7. Whenever a dress is tried out these are steam disinfected to avoid the possibility of cross-contamination

We know this is a more formal approach than before and we hope these restrictions will not be for us for too long, but your welfare and that of our staff is our concern and I am sure you will help us, while we will continue to offer you the best service for your special day even during the Covid19 pandemic.

Talking of quinceanera makeup

Talking of quinceanera makeup!

A critical success factor

Today we are talking about Quinceanera makeup. Along with the wardrobe and accessories, makeup is a critical factor in a photoshoot.

A poorly executed makeup can ruin your look; for this, we give so much importance. Quinceanera makeup is an elegant makeup that should highlight all the unique beauty of a young woman in her 15 years. Ideally, the teenager should look natural, beautiful, and never overburdened, highlighting her innate beauty.

Using the right color palette

Keep in mind that for photo sessions, the Quinceanera makeup is not the same as you would use for a party since we are using lighting equipment. For this reason, we must be cautious, for example, not to apply excessive shine or eye shadows or loud colors.

Our experts use high-quality products that guarantee the results and durability of the makeup during the photoshoot, starting with an application of the correct base, an illuminator, and then the most suitable tones for your skin. The outline of your eyes is fundamental, and we only use all the latest techniques to give more amplitude to your eyes and your gaze. Finally, your lips as they are the protagonists of all makeup so that it accentuated perfectly with the style of the dress.

Match your accessories too

If you are going to use very bright accessories, it is also essential to ensure that there are no exaggerated highlights, so we will have to adjust the makeup with more matte effects, for example.

Remember that you want to be proud of your looks when you will see your photos again, and our experts will work with you to ensure the success and timelessness of your photos.

For our sessions, we use different wardrobe changes, so the idea is to use neutral colors and only the lipstick match the color of the clothes.

What’s included in our Quinceanera makeup package:

  • Basic makeup and hairstyle
  • Option to hire the makeup artist throughout for color changes, touch-ups, and different hairstyles matching the wardrobe in use

To close, always remember that you do not have to be “in disguise” but tremendously beautiful!

Quinceanera photos with animals?

Posted on by Robi

Quinceanera photos with animals?

Our lovely quinceaneras often ask us to provide photos with animals as this is something which has become very fashionable.

Your personal security is paramount

The first point a quinceanera needs to consider when working with animals is personal security.  Whatever animal you may have in mind for your photoshoot you need to feel safe and confident with it around. And this doesn’t just mean not being afraid of it, but really feeling good about it.  So if you like horses for instance don’t go for tigers or camels only because they may look more glamorous, but go for the animal you really like having around as it will enhance the experience and this will come out in the end of the results of your quinceanera photo shoot.

Animal perception

Remember that animals can be very perceptive of feelings.  If you are comfortable with them they respond positively. If you are afraid or uncomfortable or hyped up they are more likely to have unpredictable reactions and they could get nervous.  You need to be calm and – if appropriate – you need to let the animal come to you without paying them too much attention or getting over-excited.

Working in harmony

We only work with licensed specialists in the sector who follow all safety regulations and are trained to handle animals but a tiger, even if tamed and trained, remains a wild animal so you have to work calmly with us and trust our team not only for beautiful pictures but also your welfare.  All the animals we hire come very well-groomed of course but working with them may also take longer, as we need to capture those unique moments of perfect harmony between you and the chosen animal.

For your quinceanera photoshoot, we can provide horses, camels, tigers, lions, snakes, wolves, eagles, parrots, alligators, owls, and virtually anything which is available through fully registered handlers. 

Pick the right quinceanera dress

Finally, specific dresses are very important in this type of photo session. You need to select clothes of appropriate colors so you are prominent, photos with animals just becoming a prop and not the other way around!  The focus of attention needs to be you – as it is your day and we are not shooting a wildlife documentary. 

If you are interested in having an animal in your photo session you need to speak to us and will help you out with the selection of the right animal and the appropriate quinceanera dress, to ensure spectacular end results.
