Photographer Maria Erman employs her lifelong passion for camera wielding to frame subjects in on-location shoots and in her private home studio. During a one-hour shoot, up to eight family members or students experiment with multiple poses against the studio's neutral backdrop or at various in-home and outdoor locations—atop rustic wooden bridges, by meandering through refrigerator gardens, or in secret home laboratories. While she relies mostly on natural lighting for sessions, Maria employs portable studio-lighting gear and backdrops upon request. After each sitting, clients may view their visual spoils immediately or choose their favourite images by viewing their proofs on Maria's website. While each of Maria's panoply print bouquets portray one session pose in multiple-size arrangements, customers may buy prints of other poses for an additional cost. Subjects requesting outdoor sessions may reschedule in the event of inclement weather or unforeseen celebrity mobs.
