<h1>The Location Portrait: Influences of Environment & Details of the Shoot | Molinoff Photography, LLC</h1></span><br>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(240, 255, 255);">General Information Regarding Location Portrait Shoots, Environment and Influences.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><span style="color: rgb(240, 255, 255);"><strong>Shooting Time: </strong></span></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">The average time for a portrait session is 1-2 hours. This is based on the number of people, outfits, location, and of course, mood. </span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Shoot Location: </strong></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><u>In House</u></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">You choose the setting. The age of your children along with the schedule of their nap and feeding times might make it preferable to have the photos taken in the comfort and privacy of your city residence or country home. This familiar environment helps to relax both you and your children. Not only will it be easier to get smiles from your youngsters, but it will also add the convenience of certain amenities when needed, such as changing table, toys, food and wardrobe.</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><u>Outdoors Within The City</u></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">If you prefer to have your photo session outside of your home, there are many options and areas available. There are numerous areas in many of the city’s parks, including favorite spots in Central Park. Alternatively, depending on how energetic and adventurous the family is feeling, there are countless areas around the City waiting to be incorporated as the background for that unique lifestyle image.</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><u>Outside The City: Nature</u></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">For those who prefer to travel outside the boroughs, there are numerous places offering natural settings that add flavor from the environmental surroundings of nature and wildlife. These locations, bountiful with colors defined by the seasons, bring magical backdrops and unique lighting to each photo. From shades of orange and yellow among the patches of pumpkins sprawling across farmland, to the red and green fruits of fall filling the orchards as they stretch through the hills and valleys of the Northern counties. There are subdued fields of straw and corn glowing warm in the late afternoon. The sun’s rays highlight the landscape during the slow transformation of colors among the trees swaying in the crisp air. </span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><u>Outside The City: Beach</u></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">For those who prefer the surf, nothing compares to the miles of seemingly endless vistas along the Atlantic coastline. Some favorite locations, especially towards year’s end, are the beautiful open beaches of the East end. Spanning over 30 miles from West Hampton to Montauk, lay one of the world’s top rated shorelines, making a perfect destination for a photo shoot of any caliber. Whether it is capturing the simplicity of sand and water as part of the background in a portrait, or creating an image of grand proportion incorporating details found only in the surrounding environment. The drastic transformations of beachfront properties brought on by seasonal storms, fortunately, add uniqueness to the ever-changing details bordering the ocean’s edge. </span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Committing to a photo session during these pre winter months offer benefits not found in the over-populated summer months. It takes only your first step onto the cool sand to awaken your senses. The once prominent gateway leading to the ocean, is now a thin path wind-carved between dunes and sea grass. The onshore breeze combined with the heavier sand found furthest from the tide lines, give you feelings of slow motion. Your children, on the other hand, excited and energetic, sprint up the small incline, then jump the remaining distance, landing on the vast openness of the deserted beach. Finally, you pass through the tall grass and begin the descent to the beauty of emptiness surrounding your family. Your breathing, deep and slow, brings in the salty air, resurrecting memories of purity felt from the clean air. Breathing out, you help release tension accrued from days long past. Watching your children run along the white sand, you observe their acts of curiosity and mischief as they examine shells, large and small, scattered among designs created by rogue waves. The sun hangs well above the water’s edge, with an angle of light providing both warmth and shadows praised upon by photographers and artists alike. </span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Your stress has moved on, and you begin collecting the kids, preparing them for the annual family portrait. The sunlight reflects off the pools of water and flats of sand. The magic of the hour’s light, compliments the mood and emotions emitted from the family smiling effortlessly, and seemingly becoming part of their surroundings. The group, alone on this deserted, untouched stretch of beach, is quiet as they sit listening to the repeated roars, and whispers of the waves breaking, then, washing back out to sea. Rising ever so slightly up the shore, the water covers the sand, foams then simply retreats back to the ocean. Little bubbles and tiny holes appear in the flattened sand. All traces of their presence, washed out to sea. The footprints of the subjects disappear as they are swallowed, and nature’s canvas once again is stretched along the shore. Clean and void of imperfections, it awaits the next artist to visit and create a unique moment in time.</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><u>Location Influence and Differences</u></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">All are examples of areas that help create the mood when making the photograph. Each will help add to the story that is told through the lens. No matter where the picture is taken, whether at your home, in the city, country, park or on a beach, the one constant you admire, will be the love, warmth, humor, and unique personality communicated by your child at that exact moment he or she becomes one with the canvas. That moment when the photographer times the release of the camera’s shutter to freeze the emotion, thus preserving it forever as a timeless work of art. </span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Number of Photographs:</strong></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Depending on the size of the family, the number of photographs taken will range from one hundred to four hundred. </span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><br />
</span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"><strong>Format: </strong></span></p>
<p>
<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">Photographs are taken with the most up-to-date, high-end, professional equipment. Images are captured in digital raw format, converted to either color or B&W jpegs and prepared for both print and online viewing. Once processed, the images will be burned onto a DVD, uploaded to a personalized gallery on the web, and prepared for printing. </span></p>
