Alan, Professional Photographer

For more than 25 years I have specialized in all facets of professional portraiture. I have contributed to hundreds of national magazines, shot for Fortune 500 companies, and have done portraits for families, students, actors and models, and just about everyone else. Every person is different and that's why it never gets old or repetitive.

I enjoy speaking with my subjects to get to know them a little, and also try to discover what type of photos they want to create. Mainly, what part of their personality they would like to communicate visually in the photos. Because of my decades of experience, I believe I impart an aura of confidence that makes my customers feel at ease. Plus, we don't rush, we take things slowly and try to find out what poses, expressions, and lighting work best.

For dating sites, I believe it's important to get a variety of locations, and even someplace indoors is necessary, if possible. I like to find quiet settings so the subjects feel more at ease and don't feel like people are watching the photo shoot. Also, simple places like cafes, libraries, and bookstores make for wonderful settings because this is where people usually feel comfortable.
