Michael Carr Photography bio picture
  • In order to consolidate our services to one web address, we have decided to merge our website and Blog to one interface: a Blog site. The new Blog site address will be www.michaelcarrphotography.com. With this merge, you will now be able to read about current happenings on the studio’s home page while having the opportunity to view our entire portfolio collection.

    Many visitors and clients thought we just photographed weddings, engagement portraits and bridal portraits because of the original website name www.carrweddings.com. We have been blessed to have photographed 500 plus weddings over the past 16 years and to have been a part of so many lives. In 2000, with the help of our clients, we expanded our portrait services to include baby portraits, children’s portraits, family portraits and executive portraits. In 2008, we again expanded our portrait services to include high school senior portraits, modeling portfolios and acting portfolios. Lisa and I would like to thank you for visiting our new Blog site www.michaelcarrphotography.com which we see as an ongoing creative portfolio.

Commercial Product Photography

Here are some images from a commercial product shoot for a jewelry company that is creating an online store front. The images for this assignment were photographed in studio, on a black background set and lit with a custom tent. The tent helps reduce the reflections within the jewelry surface which reduces artwork time, and adds to the enhancement of the product.

The workflow was smooth and efficient as we shot digitally to a 22” monitor. The art director was able to view and select the final images while on set. Afterwards we saved the images to an internal hard drive and at the conclusion of the shoot we backed up the job on our server. The client received the images electronically via our FTP site and now has images to add to her online gift shop. The turnaround time for the assignment was 3 working days. Making it happen….

Senior Portrait Photography

With the recent weather consisting of rain and humid conditions, we are shooting more and more studio work. We have been busy in studio creating new sets and discussing creative ideas for some upcoming sessions. Here are a few images we photographed of Meyers using a three light setup.

Houston Business Headshots

We recently added a tethered camera to monitor setup for our studio workflow. With this system, we are able to address hair, makeup, clothing and expression concerns before starting a session. With a few test shots, we can preview the test images, correct any issues and then focus our attention on our client’s expressions. Clients absolutely love seeing themselves appear on a 22” screen and they feel more relaxed knowing they like what they are seeing. Once the session is complete, the image selection process occurs in our presentation room. The entire process can be completed in 20 minutes or less.
