Portraits should have several qualities to become Memorable. Awarded images must capture unique qualities for a judge to merit the image as above standard and into the realm of advanced placement. Photographers work for decades improving the technique and putting together the skill needed to produce this quality of work.

Awarded Portrait Capture from Pimentel Portfolio LLC

But, what exactly makes a awarded image?

Yes, there are standards of criteria that Judges use for awards competition. Things like composition, focus, lighting are a few.

We at Pimentel Portfolio LLC shoot for you, our client. So, what is it that we capture in our Portraits that make them award winning is YOU!

What draws you into a Portrait? The eyes. The gateway to appreciating a good protrait is the ability to see the sitters story, through the eyes.

Photographers call this, connection. The ability to capture this connection and take it to the next level of art appreciation can take decades to learn and master.

When we create A Portrait of you, we want you to be able to see this image as a Story, a legacy a timepiece. We want your portraits to be your museum, so to speak. When we create your portrait in one of our studio sessions. Long after you have left for the day. We are reviewing our work of you. And finding that one Portrait that we know speaks that language of your ancestors stories.

Their story is in your eyes, we capture the story.

Yes, there are many things that make a award winning Image. For us, the most important thing is You!
