Picture the face of your loved one as they stare off at the sunset: relaxed facial muscles, the soft glow of the sun reflecting against their skin, a gentle glint in the eye from the dimming light. The sunset image describes the tone of a Luminescence portrait.
Luminescence is a new portraiture technique that, when applied, gently softens the look of the subject's skin and adds a hint of sparkle to the eyes. The portraits are taken in the studio and are then sent off to a processing lab where experts touch-up the photos by hand to ensure a life-like, glowing end result.
Because the look of a Luminescence portrait focuses heavily on the eyes, the technique is best applied to individual or couple portraiture. Individuals or smaller groups allow the photographer to capture closeup shots, emphasizing the facial features and expressions of the subjects.
Luminescence portraits capture a gentler, yet alive, image of the subject. It is a classic image that will last for years to come.
