Category III – Glamour Portraits

Required Before and After Views

  • Full Face Frontal –  Vertical shot to include top of head and chin
  • Portrait View after – This view is at your discretion.  The goal in this category is to show creativity in portraiture and also to show that the subject exudes emotion and happiness through their smile.

All shots are to be taken by treating dentist only.   Be creative and show your subject like they can never stop smiling!  Shoot both indoors and outdoors. Try not to pose the subject and let them be natural.  Don’t let them hold a smile until you are about to shoot the picture.  This will avoid muscle fatigue and thus creating an unnatural  appearance or a “forced smile”.  Have them suddenly smile and capture the picture at the top of the smile. This is a chance to show off your work and your creativity. Make it fun!
