I get asked quite regularly what does your proofing mean.  In my packages people get whats called 1st edition edits & then after they pick a few of their favorites we go to the art edition edit stage.  I thought I’d give everyone a pictorial representation of what this means.  I was at a bridal show this weekend and found that having a printed page with these levels of editing made it really easy for clients to see what I was talking about.

So here are a few samples:
Camera Raw - is well what comes off the camera
1st Edition Edits - have been colour corrected and adjusted to make the photo look the way I see it in my head
Art Edition Edits - have that fashion retouching edge to them.  Skin smoothing, eye brightening, basically a more detailed edit of your image
Master Art Edition Edits - are what I like to do to make the photo more than just a portrait, it really does turn things into a work of art.  This edit is usually done based on what I see the photo to be in its finished stage  The master edits tend to be what most will print on canvas or aluminum for final art piece.

OK, enough talking here are what they would look like:

So this weekend we started cleaning out the storage room and come to realize that I have been doing this wonderful job for a very, very, very long time.
In the spirit of starting a fresh new year, and more so a fresh new decade I have a call out there to anyone and everyone who’s has been a client of mine in the past.

For 2010 I am starting the storage area a new and am going to clean out all the old negatives and cds that I have been holding on to for some as much as 13 years.
AS nbphotos I guarantee to  hold on to negatives whether digital or film for two years, most of them are sitting in a wall of bankers boxes in my storage room.

If you are interested in purchasing your negatives/files i’m going to sell them for 
$210 weddings or $50 for any other shoots
Please email me if you are interested.  I will be honoring this offer until March 31, 2010.

After March 2010, unless your wedding has been in the last two years… I cannot guarantee your negatives will be here.
Spread the word to those who you know were past nbphotos clients. nancy@nbphotos.ca or 519.496.2625

Also should anyone be looking… I have an OVERSTOCK, of albums, specialty scrap paper, mattes, frames, photography cases and equipment.  Let me know what you are looking for???
Thank you everybody…. I really do want to start with a super fresh slate and if I can help you out there while doing it… then bonus!

OK enough talk here are today’s Fashion inspired photos…

Well finally…it’s here!!!!!!!!
The new nbphotos website is up and live for all to experience. I have been working hard on getting the new website up and running for the last 4 weeks.  Picking my favourite photos, editing down to a good number for you all to see…. and trust me that was hard for me. So let me thank my wonderful hubby TONY for all his input and support. Every one of my photos are like my babies.  It just hard to pick a small selection from so many that I like.

No more waiting!! I would like to invite you all to see and experience the new nbphotos!!!!

2010 is going to be a fabulous year of growth and learning.  Keep your eyes peeled… I’ve got a few surprises coming too!!!
