the tebo difference
A portrait by definition should portray. It should go beyond showing just a view of the face, it is to reveal the soul of the person. Anyone with a camera can take a picture, but it takes a special degree of sensitivity to create an image that stirs the emotion of the viewer. This is the goal we have for everyone who sits before our camera - to bring out the inner beauty and personality each of us share. It might mean showing closeness of a family, the bonding between a mother and child, the love shared by a couple celebrating an engagement or an anniversary . If the final portrait is to be a gift, it becomes our responsibility to ensure that the feelings of the subject has for the recipient are brought out in the portrait. The difference between creating a great portrait and a mediocre one goes beyond using the "right" camera, or knowing all the "tricks" to make people smile. Rather, it requires a supreme command of the craft and tools plus a strong commitment to excellence in every detail. When we started our business in 1980, we aspired to produce the finest photography we were capable of, without compromise. We have never regretted the decision. Quality does not go out of style. It costs less in the long run, and is always appreciated by those who know the difference.
