FRANK R MAY

I started photography at an early age when I had a camera available. My interest was then, taking pictures of quality but did not venture very often into the dark room world to learn how to develop and print pictures worthy of note. Once the 21st century arrived digital photography again awakened my serious interest. At last here was the chance to see an instant preview of photos immediately afterwards in camera. A new ability to completely process or change the resulting photo with no need of chemicals was now possible using new software that became available at that time which for me was a big bonus. After using a number of quality point and shoot cameras I took the plunge and bought myself my first dslr. This with the willingness to learn, plus adding new lenses and equipment for the camera enabled me to get established as a professional photographer. Samples of a few pleasing results created since that time are posted below.

A guide for suitable clothing to wear (at a photo session or anytime) that matches your warm, cool or nuetral skin tones is the watch test. If you hold a silver or gold watch (or bracelet) against your skin (lower forearm under wrist) it will provide you with the right information as to what colours of clothing suit you best. Men I suggest you check out the you tube link below for that information. Clues on what colour clothing to wear depending on your skin tone is also provided in this video clip.

Women just sit back and smile while your man does the research you would probably already know all about. Men here is the link below.
