Dennis Zirnite Portrait Photographer And Retouching Expert in Chicago, Illinois

Looking to put together a killer portfolio? I specialize in creating Strong/Eye-Catching images with meticulous lighting, and produce my best images working with Models and Actors who have high standards/expectations.

I am also an Expert Retoucher - whatever is not created through the camera, I can create through highly sophisticated Digital Imaging techniques (repairing/enhancing skin, changing hair, skin or eye color, adding/removing people and backgrounds, and REDUCING WEIGHT).

I will photograph you in studio, at your home or at a neutral location we agree upon. I consult with you to get the most accurate idea of what you're looking for, at no extra charge. I use Canon and Sekonic professional equipment, and employ the completely unprocessed Raw file format when I shoot, which affords me enormous control over the final image.

All my images go through a rigorous refinement process, beginning with Raw, then to Photoshop's .PSD format, and finally to the format of your choice, such as .JPEG or .TIFF. My studio is home-based, but fully equipped with a formidable array of state-of-the-art lighting equipment - including Fresnel lenses and versatile lighting configurations - significant factors in determining the outcome of your portrait . . . in the right hands.

When I purchase goods or services from a business, and do so knowing that I have a choice, I tend to expect a certain degree of gratitude in the form of accommodation, at least in terms of attitude; a willingness to help, to go the extra mile if need be.

It is only fitting, then, that I exercise the standards I expect from a business when I conduct business. And so I urge all potential customers to raise their expectations, and contact me as the first step in creating outstanding images that will immortalize your memories. Sometimes those fleeting moments in life are too precious for just a snapshot; sometimes, often times, you deserve to Capture Your Best!
