POC Photo Company Open For Business in Austin

 After moving to Austin in August of this year, my main goal was to set up shop and start doing photo studio work. Well that time is here. I have a lovely studio space in South Austin and I'm ready to take your picture. 

 I’ve been taking photos for the past 10 years in Seattle as POC Photo, mostly in the burlesque world. Live burlesque photography is a major passion of mine. Through this wonderful art I got involved in studio photography about 8 years ago, mostly in the pin-up style, both vintage and modern. Now in Austin with a new name POC Photo Company, I'm specializing in pin-ups & portraits, head-shots and group photo sessions, Check out POC Photo Company to find out more info, to book a session and check out some of my work in the photo gallery section.

How to feel comfortable and prepare for a good photo-shoot

                    People who want to do a photo-shoot with me sometimes tell me they’re terrible in front of the camera; like a deer in the headlights. They say they’re stiff, nervous and feel non-photogenic. That’s understandable. Photo-shoots can be intimidating. You’re fine posing with you friends on Saturday night out side the bar but in the studio it’s different. You’re in this foreign place, standing on a seamless roll of paper, maybe wearing some type of revealing costume you don’t normally wear with a bunch of bright lights pointing at you. But I say fear not! Here are some tips on how to a have a fun, comfortable and memorable photo-shoot.
