As I Am: Raw Portrait Session with Sue Bryce and Mitzi Starkweather

What if you offered a photoshoot that assumed there is nothing you have to change about your ordinary self to be worthy for it? And what if those photos were so powerful and incredible that your clients loved them, printed them, and hung them on the wall?

Mitzi Starkweather’s ‘As I Am: Raw Portrait Sessions” make just this assumption. These photos require no professional hair and makeup, no new clothes, are black and white, and require no retouching. Mitzi uses just one light in three different setups – Movement, Emotion, and Body. She does an instant reveal right after, and the whole session from photos through to the end of the reveal takes as long as it typically takes to do hair and makeup.

Sue Bryce was so impressed with Mitzi’ ‘Raw Portrait Sessions,’ that she called her up and requested to be photographed in her own ‘As I Am’ session to be filmed and showed to all of you live exclusively on The Portrait System. Mitzi provides commentary for the whole session from shoot through reveal, and Sue asks her questions to fill in any blanks on the prep, the business, and the why. Q&A follows.
