When it comes to hiring a photographer you don't just want to go with anyone. Each photographer will specialize in a niche and favor a certain style when they shoot. Fortunately at Adams Design Studios we offer a variety of shooting styles for various types of Portrait Sessions which provides our clients with breathtaking images. Here are some of the Portrait Styles that we shoot:


Traditional
Traditional portraits are classic images where the main subjects are poised and fully aware of the camera during the session. They can be formal for more professional images or informal for senior, kids, or headshot portraits.


Environmental/ Branding
These types of portraits are the most common for business professionals. Environmental portrait photography captures the person in their natural environment. Whether that is in the kitchen of a restaurant, behind the desk at the office or in a large forest. These images are planned out and often staged to allow for the surroundings to enhance a characteristic of the main subject.


Candid
Candid portraits are taken in the moment and are very similar to journalistic shooting. Typically the subject is not aware that their images are being taken with little to no interference from the photographer. Candid portraits are often common during events or weddings. These images tend to capture the more natural emotions of the subject and surroundings. 


Glamour
Glamour portraits are more stylized focusing on the physical appearance of the subject. These types of images usually have a team on hand and various lighting setups and equipment. Glamour shots tend to give off a more romantic appeal.


Lifestyle
Lifestyle is the most common type of portrait for editorials, fashion, family, engagement, and weddings. These portraits capture the sense of living style from the subjects. Lifestyle portraits can often be a combination of other styles like environment and candid.
