 AboutMeet Nigel Since 1980, Nigel has provided his clients with only the finest in portrait photography. Born in Belfast, Ireland, Nigel has lived in Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa, and has traveled extensively throughout the world. Nigel received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Brigham Young University and is a member of the Professional Photographers of America and supports his community through membership in the local Chamber of Commerce. Nigel has earned the CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER degree for his outstanding knowledge and workmanship in the field of photography. He has also won numerous awards and ribbons in local and national photography competitions. With over 30 years of photography experience, Nigel is a well-seasoned professional. His professional experience, sincerity, and true desire to create lasting portraits can be found in very few photographic artists today. Nigel's special talent of working with people, as well as his artistic eye, has made his work truly unique, giving it a distinctive style all of its own. When he's not behind the camera, Nigel can be found coaching youth soccer and basketball, riding motorcycles, playing ice hockey, or spending time with his family. If you are among those who can appreciate the difference between a fine portrait imaginatively executed and the ordinary, you will not be satisfied with anything less than a portrait by Nigel. Why a Certified Professional Photographer? When you hire a photographer, you want the best. To make it easier for you to find a truly professional photographer, Professional Photographers of America offers the PPA Certified Program. As the leading certifying agency and association for imaging professions, PPA's Certification Program is recognized throughout the industry as a sign of excellence. Those who have earned PPA Certification have passed a comprehensive written examination measuring their technical expertise, and successfully submitted their work to a panel of judges for review and approval. When you see a photographer displaying the PPA Certified seal, you can be assured that he is among the less than 3% of all imaging professionals who have successfully completed and maintained specific requirements. A Certified Professional Photographer is a photographer you can trust. PPA Certified is the mark of excellence and your assurance of professionalism and quality.

Because your portrait is so very special, you will want to look your best. Here are a few suggestions. General: Simple, plain outfits photograph the best, as they are not distracting. Our aim is to produce a timeless, beautiful portrait of you, and the best way to begin is to remember one word... simplicity. Attention should be directed to you rather than to what you are wearing. In selecting the right clothing to wear for your portrait, first decide whether you want a casual look or one a little more formal. Then, dress accordingly. Women: Dark, solid colors photograph best. A sweater, blouse, or dress with sleeves and a flattering neckline is suitable for both indoor and outdoor portraits. A pants outfit or slacks in earth tones - browns, greens, blues - or solid colors look nice for outdoors. Above all, wear something you like and feel good in. Men: Dress shirts, sweaters, slacks or suits in solid dark colors look best in both indoor and outdoor portraits. Again, earth tones and more casual styles look better outdoors. Remember the objective of your portrait - a beautiful, sensitive portrait which shows the relationship and personalities of all of you together. For this reason, keep the clothing very subtle, but be careful not to dress anyone in an outfit that is not an expression of personality. What you want to avoid is having any one person “jump” out of the portrait because he or she is dressed in a lighter or brighter outfit than everyone else. Work for balance, harmony, and color coordination. Decorating Your Home with Photographic Art With the trend today in interior design toward a more personal individualized look, photographic art is becoming more and more popular. Photography may be the most personal versatile art you can choose to decorate your home or place of business. Because photography helps to stimulate the senses, you can achieve any effect. There are so many ways you can add warmth and personality, vibrancy or quietude to a room with photographic art. A bright and cheerful portrait of a child might perk up a dull hallway. A family portrait collection can surround you with love and a sense of belonging, even when you are home alone. The possibilities are endless. Your family portrait is a priceless investment. A custom wall portrait is the only home decorating idea which will increase in value over the years. Wall portraiture is not only the latest in home decor, it's the most personal. Decorate your home with style... your style... with your very own family portrait. Where Do I Decorate With Photographic Art? Where it can be seen and appreciated! Any wall in any room is an invitation. A large floor-to-ceiling expanse is an ideal focus point for a portrait wall grouping. The living and dining rooms, den, and master and guest bedrooms can be given new life with photographic art that reflects your lifestyle, unique interests, and taste. How Do I Start? Whatever styles and colors you like, photographic art fits right in. There are no hard-and-fast decorating rules for photography. Good taste is all that matters. If you are adding a portrait to a room already decorated, you will want to tailor that portrait, its finish and frame to coordinate with the furnishings. For instance, in a very formal room, you may want a portrait that is formal in style, clothing and mood, a velvet mat and a frame that complements the decor. In a contemporary room, you might prefer to show off one of the new-style informal black-and-white portraits in a contemporary frame. There are so many ways photographic art can be used to enhance your home or place of business. But it all starts with the quality of photography itself. That's why it is so important to settle for nothing less than a professionally created piece of art. At NIGELS, we specialize in photographic art. We can plan a fine portrait of you and your family that will be more than a good likeness - it will be a work of art that captures and portrays a moment in time. At NIGELS, our portraits are created and treated as all art should be, with various custom finishes available to add to the artistic appearance and protection of each portrait. A special lacquer finish protects the portrait and eliminates the need for glass with its undesirable glare. We can even mount your portrait on a fine artist's canvas to give it an authentic oil painting look or print it on special watercolor paper to create an authentic watercolor portrait. If we know where you wish to hang the portrait, we can help you decide how large and what style to make the portrait. And we'll help select a frame that enhances - without overpowering - the image. Come see us today so we can discuss ways in which our photographic talents might enhance your environment. Together we can create something truly beautiful! R.

Avoid tank tops and sleeveless attire. (We have a black V-drape for a traditional look, as well as a cap and gown). Be sure to keep your makeup fresh and natural. Guys: Wear a solid colored shirt or sweater.(Do not wear white.)Tie and suit coat are optional. We have a black Tuxedo jacket and a bow tie, as well as a cap and gown (bring your own white shirt and tie for cap and gown poses). A fresh shave is a MUST! If you have a beard or mustache, make sure it's neatly trimmed. Indoor: Bright, solid colors are best for darker backgrounds. Solid pastel colors are best with lighter backgrounds. Avoid stripes, prints, or loud patterns. Tuxedoes, black V-drapes and cap and gown poses are taken in the studio. Outdoor: Wear casual outfits in solid colors-bright colors look great, as well as earth tones - browns, blues, greens, etc. Stay away from all-white and busy patterns (no white T-shirts). Hair: Plan to wear your hair in a style you're comfortable with. Avoid new cuts or styles. Skin Problems: Don't worry if you develop a skin problem. Our finished portraits can be fully retouched to eliminate blemishes and soften harsh lines. Glasses: Problems with glasses can lead to extra retouching charges. We can remove normal glare on glasses, but tinted lenses cannot be lightened--even with artwork. If your glasses are tinted or exceptionally thick, they can distort the way the camera photographs the eye. In this case, you should ask your optometrist for a pair of empty frames to wear for your portrait session. Braces: Can be removed with artwork incurring additional retouching charges. Props: Props are great! They help to create a truly personalized Senior Portrait. Bring hats, scarves, sunglasses, a musical instrument, sports uniform and equipment, a letter or leather jacket, a special pet, even your car (or your dad's). Whatever is YOU! WE HAVE CAPS AND GOWNS, A TRADITIONAL BLACK V-DRAPE FOR THE LADIES, AND A BLACK TUXEDO JACKET AND BOW TIE FOR THE GUYS. YOU BRING THE REST! R.
