THE PERFECT GIFT

MATT CURTIS explains how a professional photo shoot can make for the perfect gift this Christmastime...

Matt Curtis Photography studio, in Chinns Court in Warminster, offers classic and fun family photography, heritage and fine art portraiture, pets and animals and much more - and they make great Christmas gifts.

It might seem early to be thinking about Christmas, but actually for the perfect gift there are lead times for delivery. A photo shoot is quick and easy but then the real process begins of producing your perfect images, the edits that turn your photo shoot into wall hangable pieces of art that you and your family are going to treasure daily. Once that is done you get to choose your favourite shots and how you want them finished, which frame you would like, which style of coffee table book or folio. The prints are sent to production, the materials for finishing are ordered and your artwork is painstakingly put together to produce the most fantastic and thoughtful gift.The process can take a few weeks so if

photos are your thing then give me a call quickly to get booked in.

You might think “but who wants photos these days anyway?” Well, a quick answer is grandparents. What do you buy people who already have everything they need? The one thing they treasure more than anything else in the world: memories and family; a perfect photograph they can enjoy every day.

Not only that but once the photo shoot is done, prints can be given to anyone. Extended family, distant friends, dad for his office…beautiful photos really are the perfect gift.

So why come to a professional to get these amazing photos when you could potentially get someone to run some off for you for next to

nothing? Unfortunately it is true that photography has become disposable: we see “snaps” every day, on our phones, through social media. But a qualified professional photographer offers so much more: a carefully constructed photograph with every aspect considered; perfectly edited images; beautifully printed photographs on a paper that suits; handmade and finished frames. In short you get a gift you can be proud to give or receive.

Alternatively, if you'd rather have photos of your family you could give them a voucher for their own photo shoot instead. To find out more call 01985 988698 or 07809 363800 or head to the website.
