Here are a few thoughts on helping your client select the right size family
portrait
after you've done the photography.
I'm John Harrington.
Now, when you sit down with a client and talk to them about what size do want,
you really shouldn't be talking in sizes, 8x10,
11x14, 16x20 because in most people's mind 8x10
is as large as they need. So I would encourage you to use sizes like
desk size, small wall size,
medium wall size, large wall size. That really helps the
client understand where the picture's going to go, helps you understand what
they're looking for and gets everybody away from this 8x10
figure that nobody seems to want to go above. Sometimes you can bring a
portrait that you've done for somebody else into a home and show it up
on a wall for the client to see how that size would look in their home
and help them decide based upon
size commensurate with the wall
and not just based upon the numbers.
