Austin Texas based portrait photography, Definitive Images, bring something unique and exciting to the world of portraiture. Whether its photos of seniors and graduates, babies or children, headshots or modeling portfolios, couples or entire families; the approach, execution and presentation of our work(your portraits and prints) is a cut above.
Here’s why:
PHOTOGRAPHY
Our award winning lead Photographer, Christopher Ferguson, is a master of photographic lighting which lends the work a quality and appeal usually reserved for high end fashion, editorial and commercial work. His portrait style is heavily influenced by mainstream celebrity photography, showcasing character and individuality in a stylized and eye catching fashion, but layered by Christopher’s flair for dramatics and penchant for creative lighting.
“I want every session to be different. It can be tough because people often ask for the same things, so I take it as a challenge to discover those distinctions in each person’s character and try to come up with an original idea as to how to represent that in a photo. Luckily, my clients tend to be pretty keen on my ideas and as a result we get some awesome images.”
