TATTOO PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
about me
My name is Paul, a photographer of 10+ years, and after shooting 120+ weddings, working countless creative projects for country artists, social media influencers, and Emmy-award winning actors, I am focusing on tattoo portrait photography.
What to Expect:
30–45 min casual outdoor session, free of charge.
5–10 edited detail tattoo + portrait shots
I use a small 360 camera + mic on myself for behind-the-scenes content
Afterward, all photos are sent directly to the artist and client.
Below are some FAQs and my portrait portfolio.
Artist/Studio faqs
-
My hope is this:
Detail/Medium shots are for your portfolio, perfect for highlighting your work.
Portrait photos are for advertising the lifestyle and personality of who your clientele is.
Perfect for social media, websites, paid ads, press kits, etc.
-
No. These sessions are completely free. This is part of a creative project I’m building to showcase tattoos. You’ll receive 5-10 edited photos (portraits & detail shots) at no cost, and you can use them however you’d like (social media, personal use, or for your portfolio)
-
Yes absolutely. Any and all content posted from each session will always have proper tagging of relevant parties. Prior to the first shoot, I will send a short form to fill out that will have a place to input all relevant social media info.
-
5-10 photos. These include portraits and detail shots of the specific tattoo.
These will be landscape/vertical, delivered in 8K resolution. Further cropping for social media available upon request.
-
Maintaining accurate white balance and color rendition is incredibly important.
Detail shots of tattoos, I use small external lighting to ensure accurate color.
Portrait shots are lifestyle focused and I use natural light for those.
