- Dear Herb,
Thank you for allowing me to experience the unique art of Body Forms. Never did I imagine that the pictures that I previewed were of my own figure! After having two children, I have often second-guessed my physical appearance, and those portraits helped restore some of that confidence! From the very start, I felt completely comfortable and relaxed in your studio and thought, ‘wow if I can see myself in such flattering light and form, that is priceless!’ You know what’s priceless is the smile that comes to my husband’s face as well as mine when we even think about the portraits.
Thank you so much Herb!!!
- Rose - Setting up my appointment for my Body Forms Portrait was very easy. Herb explained on the phone, what I can expect, how much the portraits cost, and encouraged me to go to his website to see examples. When I got to his studio, I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and organized it was, and all the equipment was set up, just like he promised.I was introduced to his assistant, and was shown many examples of the poses I would be doing. Herb has an entire wall of creative Body Forms portraits and seeing them was very encouraging. There was a table set up with a black drape in front of a black screen background, lighting, and a computer to preview the pictures. The studio is private and secure,and well-staffed, so I felt safe and comfortable.Herb started me out with a moderate pose, not showing much, and that helped me relax. When I saw how beautiful the preview photo was, I was excited about the rest of the shoot. Herb spent an hour with me, photographing different positions, and he was very patient and let me take breaks here and there. It was actually really easy to follow his directions, and he has a very light sense of humor which made the whole experience nice.
I previewed my pictures with Herb’s computer artist Billy, a couple days after the shoot. Billy grouped the pictures by pose, and helped me pick the best ones out of the groups. Billy can pick up on the little things like how your toes are pointing, or which pose makes your legs look longer, and he also tells you how each pose can be used when you order your prints. Billy also showed me how he can remove the blemishes and scars on my skin, as well as place shadows on parts of my body that I didn’t want to see. Selecting my photos took about 40 minutes, and I chose 16 pictures total. Billy sent me home with a disc that I shared with my husband, and we picked out a couple shots to become prints. Billy then spent about 20 minutes on each picture making it just right.
The final prints can be any size, in color or black and white. They’re beautifully mounted and framed if you want.The hardest part was picking out which ones I wanted, because I wanted them all!
