Educating clients with a gallery

Toshido

I just created a gallery in an attempt to educate potential clients about the differences in SOOC pictures and finished products.

I would like some feedback if you guys think this is a good idea. Also if I made any blaringly obvious technical foul ups or typos.

My end goal is to have a a couple sample galleries created. Basically to show a potential client what they can expect their gallery to look like, as well a possible idea of numbers of photos (without ever saying numbers).

Quick Proof
I did a quick proof read and didn't see any errors. I was thinking about doing this myself. I like the idea. People can see the difference and that will help you upsell to your clients.

I noticed a couple of typos:
"Digital SLR cameras also have that ability, but when the camera records a RAW file non (should be "none") of that is done to the file. A RAW file records substantially more information then (should be "than") a JPG file, in fact more information then (again "than") can really be shown on most monitors. It is then up to the photgrapher to decide what to do with that information.

"Proof Edited:
Very simple and automated exposure corrections are added here. Settings (add the "s") are left up to the program to correct what the computer thinks are mistakes in the exposure.

Otherwise, I think this is a good idea. But, I thing you could probably find a stronger image to prove your point...

Thank you. not always the easiest to do this with a 1 year old crawling on me

And yes, the photos are likely to be changed in the future. Especially to show a bigger difference between SOOC and proof images.

I love this idea. I would also recommend using a different image. Maybe a portrait where you can soften some skin tones, maybe whiten the teeth, etc.
Here is an example I use. Probably a little over the top but it strikes a cord with poeple I meet with. I used a picture from a cruise, when I had my cheap sony cybershot with me.

Looking at alternate pictures now.

Likely go with a portrait of my mother. hard to work with kids crawling on me though...
