What
can Deborah Shelton Photography & Digital Imaging offer that the competition
cannot?
Deborah
is a creative, experienced and versatile photographer. Born with the soul of
a poet and artist, Deborah wishes to provide portraits that are portrayals
of the people she photographs.She
does not simply take pictures of people’s faces.
She
spent many years learning the art, science and psychology of photography and
is a veteran people-watcher. Fascinated by body language, the human face and
form, and the way light interacts with it, she can’t seem to stop herself
from consciously or subconsciously photographing people in her mind when she
sees them.
Deborah
takes her inspiration not so much from other photographers but from classic
painters like Renoir and John Singer Sargent.She is not satisfied with her portraits until she feels they take on
their own poetic and timeless quality. She achieves this with her attention
to detail before, during, and after the session.
Her
studio is digital from start to finish, so she is not limited by the
constraints of film and film processing and can keep session fees more
competitive than studios that have not availed themselves of this
capability.
She
is a master at digital retouching and restoration. She has transferred her
background in positive print retouching to digital technology.
Her
studio is centrally located in historical downtown Bastrop where she can
serve Bastrop County and the surrounding counties.
She
keeps her prices more competitive because she does not accept credit cards
but offers flexible payment options.
Deborah’s
versatility is expressed in her nature, art, action, architectural and event
photography. Her specialty is portraiture, but she keeps her eye fresh and
attentive by compiling an extensive database of all types of photographs.
She agrees with Susan Sontag who says, “Today everything exists to end in
a photograph.”
She
keeps her price structure as simple as possible.
Photography
is not merely a pastime or means of making a living; it is Deborah’s
passion.
