"Like an inspirational piece of music or the expression of an elegant poem a fine photographic portrait can compel us to feel with or for its subjects. On its deepest level this portraiture strives to celebrate the personal feelings . . and moments . . which are often not given voice. The artistry of my craft is in evoking and interpreting these elements so that they play brilliantly in a compelling image for all to experience." -P.Tarolli ---

"Pictures are said to be worth a thousand words and for homeowners looking to create warmth within their homes, portraiture from Tarolli Studio of Clay speaks volumes. . .Tarolli's photography warms homes with artistic portraiture that celebrates personal feelings and moments, offering a story to the person looking at his creations. Tarolli compares his work to capturing the fleeting seasons of a family's life." -Natalie Hurst,Syracuse Post Standard

FORMALITY: Because of the many themes and graphic options offered by Peter Tarolli to clients of his Signature Series, a pre-photography design session in the studio is included with his services. He will first plan the portrait around a formal or informal motif. This will dictate both the arrangement of elements within the frame, and usually the clothing styles that are chosen. You will learn how to prepare for each and how color works to strengthen features or unify the totality.

Depending on the theme and intent of your portrait,Tarolli will offer options regarding the use of studio or historically authentic and personal locations. Possessions and symbols that are integral to the theme & lives his clients are also reviewed for appropriateness. These and other considerations work together, beyond simply recording faces, to commemorating a lifestyle.

COLOR SCHEMES: In the pre-photography consultation the selection of a portrait color scheme is supported by your choice of clothing colors. Classic: Medium-dark cool & earthen hues. Mellow: Medium-light cool & earthen hues. Open Sky: Light white and cool pastels. Real Life: Considers the color themes of authentic locations.

ACTIONS: Before your sitting you should review the choices of portrait actions we offer. Traditional: Frontally directed flattering expressions from several symmetrical compositions. Commemorative: Interactive, reflective or intimate story telling moments that may also commemorate a particular season of life, personal accomplishment or a relationship. These are also done in-studio or at authentic locations. Dream Maker: We help you create an alternative image of yourself -- as unconventional as you wish. Glamour/Boudoir: Personal intimate feminine images for the special one in your life.
