About Buschauer Portraits

Great portrait photography is not about the lighting, the megapixels of my camera or the props, even though those things come into play. It’s about those you love, and those that love you… pure and simple. It’s about knowing how and what to say, and how to act in order to get my subjects to open up to me, to enjoy their experience with me, to capture just the right expressions… and make it all look incredibly easy!
