What is the difference between pictures an portraits?
Basically pictures are taken and portraits are created. Pictures are the push of a button, portraits are a push of a button with purpose and intention.
Why we do Senior Portraits
1) Core belief… everyone has beauty, talent, personality and Style. Our job is to create images that highlight these qualities.
2) Senior Portraits are a milestone of life. They show what you have become with years of learning, guidance and an idea of what you want to be. The portraits created by Robert Akers Photography will not just be a yearbook pictures (which by the way will be how 90% or your high school classmates remember you) they will be a portfolio of who you are when you make the transition to adulting.
3) Many people will lump you into a convenient category to define you; a jock, an academic, privileged. However, like the famous quote from the movie “The Breakfast Club”, when ask what to write an essay on who they are, Brian said, "…what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club."
Our goal is to create senior portraits that show the many sides of who you are, the athlete, the musician, the artistic creator, the student, maybe not the criminal.
4) When I was a senior I had a typical portraits session with 24 proofs (that’s how many pictures on a roll of film),that all looked basically the same. Turn this way. Look off to your bright future. Show your class ring. I wish I could have portfolio of portraits of myself, like what I create for seniors today. It’s a new world and today’s seniors will have better portraits because of it.
