"Amber, I think you wasted way too much time at Wal-Mart when you should have been taking photos. You are a natural at this, girlfriend. You should open up your own studio...Keep up the good work."

About the Photographer
About Me
My name is Amber Flowers and I am 24 years old. I reside in Glasgow, Ky (USA) with my Husband, two children and several pets. I do photography and more for people of all ages, backgrounds and lifestyles. I am one of the only photographers in my area that does infrared photography and digital manipulations for my clients. I am a location based photographer and not currently working from a studio. I am planning to open a studio from my home sometime in the next year-two years. Contact me for infomation regarding travel and locations. I'd love to meet other photographers and people willing to model on a paid or TFP (trade for prints) basis. I also am interested in modeling for other photographers or doing freelance work. Contact me I look forward to meeting you!
Photography Experience
Since my early childhood I have had a camera in my hand. I started with a Kodak 110 which I still have today. Just like then, I carry my camera with me everywhere. I have 5 years customer service experience from my time at Wal-Mart. I worked in pets, jewelry, service desk and as the store's Risk Control Team Leader. I strived to make customers happy and made many loyal customers while working my way towards entry into the management program. I learned a lot during my five years there, but always knew that regardless of my goals in the company, art and photography have always been my passion and a part of who I am. I am no longer working for Walmart as of 2009 and am focusing on my photography. I have self-taught myself various photography methods and Photoshop techniques that enable me to be a creative photographer. If you are wanting something done that I don't currently do, please contact me and I'll try my best to learn about it ASAP!

Questions & Answers
Running a business I come into contact with people daily that have questions about what I do. I've tried to organize them the best that I can. If you have a question about Soul Gaze Photography, infrared, photoshop or just want to learn more about me, feel free to email me at: soulgazephotography_yahoo.com
Photoshoots
(Q.) Will you travel? How much does it cost?
(A.) Currently I prefer inside Barren County only, but I will travel farther depending on commission. Contact me with your questions!
(Q.) Are there refunds?
(A.) No. I give you the option to review your pictures and make your choices before they are processed to prevent the need for returns. If there are any problems after that time, we can discuss it if needed. If there are problems with the print and/or product's quality, contact me so I can correct the problem but ordering you a replacement.
(Q.) Will you make a custom background or photography set?
(A.) Yes! I love to do art of any kind and will be happy to work with you to suit your needs! If there's something I can't do I will find you someone that can!
(Q. ) Can I bring my own props or my pets? Is there extra cost?
(A.) These are your pictures, feel free to bring anything you want at no extra cost. As for pets, I love animals and encourage you to bring them too if you wish. The only requirement is that they be in a cage/on leash except during photo shoots and that they are clean and up to date on shots and flea killer for the safety of my other clients and their pets.
What to wear
(Q.) What should I wear?
(A.) I encourage you to BE YOURSELF. Wear whatever you want to! I have many locations to suit many outfit choices. Keep in mind though that these are your pictures and you will want to be able to look at them for a long time! Your family and friends will see your photos too.
TIPS:
1. Some shirts are transparent in bright lights so you may want to wear a matching undershirt.
2. Family photos look best if matching themes...such as all demin pants and white t-shirts for a shoot at a pond or woods. Use your imagination and wear what makes you and your family comfortable. You want to feel comfortable and be yourself!
3. Early morning or late afternoon is best, unless you want the heat and glare of midday sun. Shade is fine, but will be hot.
4. Bring your make-up with you. We may need to add more to make it more visable or due to sweating outdoors.
5. Keep in mind that skirts are shorter in shots of you sitting...this can be a bad thing for some of us women.
6.
Contact me if you have additional questions about what to wear.
(Q.) What is infrared photography? What do i need to take my own?
(A.) Infrared photography is basically taking a photograph of light that is already out there everyday, but we just cant see it with out human eyes. By using a filter or converting your camera you can capture beautiful and unique images. Problem is not all cameras do well with infrared photography, so do some research online about your model before you do. Chances are others have tried it. I use a Hoya RM72 Filter and a Nikon D40. My older infrared cameras are: Canon A70 and Canon S5IS. Also, other than the filter and camera you need sunlight, patience (for long exposures) and preferably photoshop to convert the color channels. There's plenty more information about Infrared online or If you have questions or need help ask me. Good luck!
Other
(Q.) Will my photos be featured on your website?
(A.) Only if you want me to! I'd love to feature your photos as an example of my work, but only with your permission. When I photograph you are required to sign a model release form (free of charge) that will outline where I can and can't use your photos. You then get to choose where I can and where I can't. Some photographers use your photos anyway, but not me. You will get a copy of this form and have the peace of mind that you wont see your photographs anywhere you dont want them to be.
It is your privacy that matters the most.
(Q.) Do you do nude/underwear photo shoots?
(A.) I'd love to do ARTISTIC nudes, BUT currently I am researching the legalities for Kentucky before I can. I do know that you must be at least 18 with proof of age. You will also have to sign a model release stating that you posed for me in this manner by your own free will. You can also choose whether or not a censored version of your photos can be featured on my website. Keep in touch with me so I can let you know when I've gotten everything ready. Photos like these are GREAT gifts for spouses on wedding nights, Christmas, Birthdays and more.
