Direct comparison of unedited selfie pictures. On the left, how you will see a snapshot with a smartphone. On the right, a portrait done professionnally.
Why you want to book the right ProFessional
You're standing in front of that killer view. Jet d’Eau in the background. The lake shimmering. The city skyline playing nice. So you grab your phone and think:
“This will look great for the company’s LinkedIn.”
Spoiler: it doesn’t.
Look left. That’s what you see.
Look right. That’s what I see.
Impressive views, low-quality results?
This side-by-side comparison is more than just a humble (okay, not-so-humble) self-portrait experiment that I took at my valued client Vontobel Bank’s Geneva office. It’s the daily reality of countless businesses who think their splendid office view can carry a portrait. It can’t. At least not without someone who knows what they’re doing.
Smartphones distort, auto-correct, and blow out the background. Faces end up shadowy, squashed, and weirdly stretched.
Great location, sure. But suddenly your subject looks like they haven’t slept since 2005.
knowing how to read light, how to position A Person
Sure, gear matters. But above all, lighting matters much more.
It’s all about knowing how to read light, how to position someone.
How to recreate the exact angle of natural sun while keeping both subject and view beautifully exposed. that’s what elevates the shot.
