Evans GA Glamour Photographers: Jessica

Patrick Biestman March 28, 2014

Months ago we did a fundraiser for our friends, to help them bring their two youngest children safely home from Africa. Our friend Jessica won that fundraiser, and we finally were able to get our schedules coordinated for a photo session. 

Fresh from Italy, Jessica joined us on one of the hundreds of chilliest days here in Augusta, GA. She stood strong as we shivered around her, remaining calm as my own fingers turned blue. Thank you, Jessica, so working so hard to help us capture so many stunning images of your sweetest self. We Biestmans are delighted to call you a friend.

Craft and Connection: glamour photography in augusta ga

Patrick Biestman April 5, 2013

​I love this video. I myself have struggled to fall into the traditional expectations others had prepared for me, and perhaps that is why I identify so much with this perspective. Dove is a champion for individuality, and this video is a (forgive me) proverbial middle finger to the established thought of what beauty really means.

Secondly, this video adds validity to some extent to what Rachel and I are trying to accomplish with this little business of ours. This week I started physical therapy for a shoulder injury, and as my therapist and I were connecting with each other, I divulged my career choice. As par for the course, she has a family connection to a photographer.  As I discussed what Rachel and I do and our style, it came out that this photographer (in her words) uses photoshop to take "a 3 and make her a 10. I can't even believe it is the same girl afterwards." Now, it is not my position to cast ill upon another photographer for their choice in style; but I cannot help but believe that this perception of pretty is skewed, at best. 

And then I came upon this video today.​

Believe me, I am in no way trying to say that I am yet as influential or as talented as Bert Stern (neither am I as mentally unique). However in seeing this trailer, as well as these absolutely iconic images sans any ​photoshop manipulation; it reminds me of the power of the connection between the photographer and the subject. When thought, practice, connection, and execution are used, photoshop is not an absolute.

​So before I let myself go too long on the subject, I will leave the reader with this: it is our dedication to craft and our connection to you during that photo shoot that we desire. We intend to create lasting, emotional images not only for us or the subject; but also for her daughters, sons, and even their children.  It never has, and never will be about the photoshop action afterwards.  Guaranteed.
