Unique as You

Unique as You Questionnaire

This questionnaire is PRIVATE and OPTIONAL. It is to be filled out ONLY by the Senior being photographed (not by parents, siblings, friends, or significant others. This is about how you see you, not how others see you). All fields (except your name) are optional, feel free to leave any of them blank if you prefer not to answer. All answers are 100% confidential and will never be seen by anyone but me. My goal as your senior portraitist is to get to know YOU for who you really are, and capture your true essence through portraiture. This goes far beyond outward appearances. The more I know about you, the more customized experience I can provide for you. Subtle differences in posing and lighting can make drastic differences in the mood portrayed in an image, and I want to strive for all the subtle details that will appeal to your unique tastes!
Full Given Name: *
What you prefer to be called:
My personality type as determined by the Jung/Briggs/Myers' personality type theory.
Not sure? Please read below!
If you are not familiar with this theory or your personality type, you can take the FREE evaluation at http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp . This is actually a fairly common evaluation that you may see on future employment or college applications; it should be helpful to know your personality type beyond just this questionairre.

Side Note: I personally studied personality typing in college for an entire year and in my seven years of college study this has probably been the most helpful information I have attained in my adult life. I sincerely reccomend looking into it if you feel so inclined!

Please choose the best answer for each question.

I think all of my seniors are perfect as they are, but we are all unique and have certain aspects of ourselves that we prefer to showcase and sometimes we have traits we may not want in the spotlight and that is okay! I do not over-edit my seniors or make them look like someone they are not. However, I can customize the poses to emphasize the characteristics you love the most about yourself while minimizing any aspects of yourself that you are not so crazy about.
Please list any physical traits or characteristics that you may be self conscious about:
Please list your favorite physical characteristics about yourself (ie: eyes, smile, hair, posture):
Please list your top five favorite NON PHYSICAL characteristics about yourself (ie: sense of humor, integrity, loyalty, independence, intelligence, work ethic, abilities):
Please list the top five things that others tend to compliment you for. (This can be physical or non physical).
Locations! Please note any location thoughts or ideas/preferences you have for your session.
What is something I should know about you that I forgot to ask?
List any hobbies or activities that are important to you AND you want to incorporate aspects of in your portraits.
That is it! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to complete this. It is such an honor to be chosen as your portraitist! I look forward to applying what I have learned about you into your senior portrait experience! (don't forget to click submit!)
