Family Pic

©Marco Mertens.

This is the result of the photo shoot 'Uw Mooiste Glimlach' (which was a huge success:1004 pics taken for 20 euro/each. You can count...)

The organization was seamless and perfect: for this little amount you got 2 drinks and a shoot. A waiting cue of 1.5 hour was due to the high success (well you don't get every day the chance to be pictured by a famous photographer), but nobody seem to bother that much.

There are many photographers to choose from, but I insisted on taking Marco Mertens. His pictures for the Standard Magazine are fabulous. He also took time to make a good portret -while others were pretty tired and just started shooting at some point-

Why we went, me as a photographer? Because I hate making portraits for my family, they are never satisfied... They look too old, too this or too that.
So, having taking that pic by someone else is my solution. Surely when it is taken by a 'recognized photographer'
The results is truly stunning, and me, I am sure they will never say 'Look, you can see my wrinkles.'

(Only big comment on the matter: wow.. Spector Online Service is BAD. Took me exactly 3 hours to get what I wanted. That programmer can be fired...)
