I can't tell you how many times I've heard that question from potential clients. People of color, especially the women are very concerned about this. I remember one of my first darker skin clients, she said I love your work, but I don't see any black people in your portfolio how come? Can you photograph black people? I told her sure I'm a professional photographer I can photograph any subject, I don't care what color they are. I told her if you're not happy you don't have to pay me. Since then I've developed quite a collection of darker skin clients. See a gallery of African American Skin Tones here. It's difficult to photograph people with dark skin complexion for several reasons. Another major factor is makeup, if your makeup artist doesn't know how to apply make up on multi color african american skin it can be a total disaster. At Wayne Wallace Photography you're in good hands! I know how to light dark skin and my fabulous makeup artist Mei Li Makeup knows how to apply makeup on dark skin. Tell all your friends that Wayne Wallace Photography is the best portrait photographer in Las Vegas for dark brown skin and african american skin color.
