In our blog series about how to have the best headshot for your portfolio, your social media presence and even your business cards, we’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about hydration. Most people don’t believe that hydration is an important step, but it’s actually one of the most important ones to take for […]
As always, here at Images by Studio MAP we always post our annual do’s and don’ts for posting Halloween pictures online. This holiday comes around once a year, it’s the only time when you can dress up as your favorite villain or hero, or even that provocative costume that you always wanted to wear, but it’s […]
I remember sitting at my computer and we (Camille and I) were talking about doing an editorial photoshoot about arranged marriages that are still going on around the world. How or why we got on this topic is beyond me, but it got our creative juices flowing. This is when we called upon one of […]
