What is a Dumbo Feather? It is the thing that somebody believes in that allows them to achieve their dreams, or maybe overcome their fears. Dumbo (think the elephant with big ears) believed that it was a very special feather that gave him the ability to fly, and when he lost the feather he became a flightless elephant. With extensive counselling and a few kind words he realised that it was in fact his large ears that were responsible for his 'winged' prowess. We are often the Dumbo Feather to our clients. They believe that we are responsible for making them photogenic ... sure we have our friend, The Beautify Filter from Adobe, but in reality if we can get them to believe in themselves we are much of the way towards creating photogenicity for them. Being the Dumbo Feather has its benefits ... it nurtures loyalty beyond reason ... but there are other ways to do that. Speaking of Dumbo Feather there is a fabulous magazine called 'Dumbo feather, pass it on', which is a very honest look at real people.  Read it and become richer for it. All the best, Johannes

Yes, we are often called upon for heroic feats of Photoshopping magic, but the article speaks to the crucial point - getting clients to feel beautiful. This only comes through a relaxed and natural relationship. Nice article. Thanks for posting!
