Opinions Wanted"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>9 years ago I helped change the look of the school portrait throughout the UK. I left the blue mottled background behind and introduced a contemporary white replacement which at the time was a welcomed change. Since then I&#8217;ve seen most other school photographers follow suit. I know the blue background lasted decades. I for one had that same background in my own school photos right from 1975 when I started school (maybe I shouldn&#8217;t be sharing that). I don&#8217;t feel that society accepts or expects a lack of change anymore. We all want everything to move with the times and the times move much faster these days. So is 9 years enough for school photos to remain the same. Do we want to see an updated look?<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-h4m_gYlFLrI\/Vcz5jvtw53I\/AAAAAAAADhc\/f9FvS9wQaHA\/s1600\/1508-0727%2BFB.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-h4m_gYlFLrI\/Vcz5jvtw53I\/AAAAAAAADhc\/f9FvS9wQaHA\/s640\/1508-0727%2BFB.jpg\" width=\"448\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-E-6p5lesl88\/Vcz5qmeUnrI\/AAAAAAAADhk\/W3jMlT8oXUg\/s1600\/1508-0688%2BFB.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-E-6p5lesl88\/Vcz5qmeUnrI\/AAAAAAAADhk\/W3jMlT8oXUg\/s640\/1508-0688%2BFB.jpg\" width=\"448\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>So I created a few new portraits for a style I&#8217;d like to introduce this coming September and I&#8217;d love to hear what you think.
