"Glamour photography by Dare To Be Different is creative and excitingly different. Unlike traditional glamour photography studios, you can be photographed in full and half length poses according to the type of photography you want." Have you ever looked at the photographs of models and celebrities in magazines and wondered why you don't look like that too? Well there is probably one good reason .
. . you have never been professionally photographed! Let's face it, about the best photograph the average person gets is when they are dressed up going out to dinner or a special function. You're usually running late and whoever is nearby grabs the 'ol instamatic, tells you to stand by a wall and then fumbles with the camera trying to make the thing work. When they finally take the picture, you weren't ready and were probably in mid sentence anyway . . . And you wonder why you don't look like the models that have had professional styling and been photographed with proper equipment in idyllic surroundings! Until now, the only alternative you had was to take yourself off to one of the glamour makeover studios in your local shopping centre. After they use all their photographic skill to make you look as bad as possible for their "before" shot, you're then transformed into someone even you wouldn't recognize! With big hair and packed-on makeup, they photograph you with a variety of dizzily bright backgrounds with outfits designed to hide as much of your natural features as possible. All this happens in about two hours, where you are then whisked away to view your 15 pictures and select which photos you would like which are then heavily Photoshopped to make them look even more unrecognisable. While Photoshopping and editing is a fantastic tool, we prefer to use it sparingly and only to correct minor flaws, not to re-create or transform you into someone else. Maybe you have a scratch on your hand or a bump on your knee. We can take that out no problems but we don't go giving you artificially looking porcelain skin that would do a wax dummy proud. While many people find this type of portrait satisfactory, Dare to be Different offer a far more realistic style of photography that makes the most of who you are, not turn you into someone else.
