About Antonio Cesar

Antonio Cesar, an award winning photographer has become one of the South’s most sought after master photographic artist, achieving excellence while setting the highest quality standards for beach portraiture.

It’s not the technology that creates beautiful portraits, it’s the artist. The quality of our large wall Portraits captured on our large format cameras would require a digital Photographer to use a 50 – 60 MEGA-Pixel camera to achieve the equivalent results. We have digital cameras for commercial use only, NOT portraits. Most digital cameras today are equivalent to yesterdays 35mm. We produce superior wall portraits the traditional way.

Portraits on the Beach

We suggest that you wear white-on-white, white with khaki, ivory, light pastel solids, or white with light denim. These color combinations are best for the beach for both men and women. Identical outfits are recommended. Keep it simple.

Please do not wear patterns, stripes or dark solids. Women who choose to wear a dress should select a long, solid, flowing skirt. Dresses should always cover the knee when in a seated position. Please note that beach portraits are always photographed with bare feet.

As a seasoned and skilled photographer, Antonio does not take photographs, as an artist, he creates portraits. They are unique to his style and composition. No other cameras are allowed including video, during the session, only Antonio’s - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Shine and Glare

Glare caused by eyeglasses is also detrimental to fine portraiture. Things like clouds, grass, trees, etc. will reflect in the lens and obscure the eyes. We recommend removing the lenses or not wearing your glasses at all. Facial shine is also extremely detrimental to fine portraiture. Any person with oily, shiny, or perspiring skin should bring a towel. Keep jewelry to a minimum and do not use lotion before the portrait. Extra charges will apply for artwork required to remove glare and shine.

Wind and Sun

Due to unpredictable outdoor breezes, it is very important to fully spray your family’s hair with strong hold hairspray after styling. For those with long hair please bring hair clips. Prepare for a windy day. Please avoid getting sunburned before having portraits taken.

Special Note

Everything will be great! Just tell your kids how excited you are about the portrait and how much fun it will be. Nothing else. They will get excited with you. Remember our objective – a beautiful natural portrait showing the personalities of each and every member of your family – together, happy and having fun.

“Antonio was professional yet personable. He was patient with four small children and six stressed adults. Thank you for capturing our family with memories we will always cherish.”
