Portraiture : Capturing people in those completely natural moments..... To me, that is the most creative and enjoyable form of portraiture. Unposed, having fun, playing around, in the places you're most comfortable. Those are the natural and most genuine smiles in the world; or they capture the times when your soul is bared, your heart exposed and on your sleeve, the tears, the thoughtfulness, the love. If you're interested in an on-location portait session of your own, whatever the reason, please contact me at 704-451-3405 for rates and to set a time for us to meet, talk, and plan your unique photo session. (More information will be here soon.)

Digital Photography for Dentists : Digital photography has become one of the most powerful and useful tools available to dentists and their teams today. Incredibly crisp pictures can be created, tracked, shared, printed, shown on screen, be put in a presentation for education or many forms of media for marketing: they're really only a click away. While the DSLRs (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) cameras that are most popular and commonly-used may LOOK intimidating, here's the simple fact: Once you have the correct settings put in, those big cameras become big, fancy-LOOKING point-and-shoot cameras! Read on for how CDPayet Photography can help you incorporate digital photography into your practice, and take a look at Smiles by Payet Dentistry to see how we've integrated our photography into our website: In-Office Photography Training Contact me today: (C) 704.451.3405 or (W) 704-364-7069 if you would like to set up a 1-2 day, in-office, personalized photography course, such that you'll be able to create these same images faster than you probably imagine possible. The fees are determined by what and how much you want to learn, as well as how many people will be taught; travel expenses are separately charged. (A "Contact Us" form will online soon, as well as a downloadable questionnaire to help evaluate your needs) Patient Education and Office Art CDPayet Photography is currently in the process of developing new Patient Education modules that can be used on Reception Area TVs, on your operatory computers, or in your Consultation Room. They will be available as stand-alone modules or as a complete set, and they will be available in multiple formats, including DVD, CD, or even as executable files that you install on your PC. Stay tuned for release later this year, as well as introductory pricing. If you're looking for poster-sized Wall Art, either of Portraits, Before/After, or simply of beautiful smiles, please contact me directly to order at this time. In the near future you will be able to order these directly online.

About CDPayet Photography : My Dad, whom I admire for many reasons, was my initial inspiration for picking up a camera in the early 1990's, although the bug didn't truly bite until I finally went digital with a Canon Digital Rebel in early 2004. Beginning with photographic documentation of my dentistry, inspired especially by Dr. Ross Nash, then moving into portraiture with inspiration from Dr. Tony Soileau and Dr. Michael Barr, and finally realizing the freedom that digital provided, I have slowly evolved from a rank amateur to the dental and photographic professional of today. I've been blessed to be part of TWO professions that are making leaps and bounds forward with technology, and the power of digital photography is only growing. The simple power of the picture, instantly captured and displayed, to improve and enhance the doctor-patient trust relationship, is far greater than most realize. The power of portraiture to give patients with a new smile that look they've always wished they had......talk about rewarding! And to capture the amazing beauty of this world on which we live, to show it to others in ways they have never before seen or imagined, is a true pleasure. Since early 2007, I have been inspired by many amazing photographers, both within dentistry and within the professional photographic world, and have therefore stretched my wings into creative macro, landscape, and portrait arenas. Photography, like dentistry, is truly an art of communication, and while it might not seem apparent at first glance, they really share a common goal: uplifting the human spirit through personal care. In dentistry, my team and I care for the dental health of our patients; in photography, the artistic muse in me hopes to touch the soul of the viewer and let them see the amazing beauty in the world around us.

Dental Photograpy, Marketing Dentistry, Dental Office Posters : Photo-Editing and Internal Marketing Materials Creation for Dentists If you already have a set of pictures that you want to use for a movie-loop in your reception area, operatories, perhaps for patient education purposes, perhaps a Flash gallery for your webstite, you can send me a set of pictures you want included, a copy of your logo, and pertinent details, and I will create a personalized program just for your office. Below you will see some examples of the types of wall posters that can be created - each one highlights an individual story to give a personal connection. I do highly recommend that these be autographed by the patient - it's a truly powerful testimonial! The examples you see here are sized at 24" x 36", so they are imposing and really grab the eye of even a casual observer. The actual image size is 20" x 30", and the white border allows for custom matting and framing, or it can be trimmed away. Please feel free to contact me at SmilesbyPayet@gmail.com if you are interested in having similar wall art created for your office. Rates: $65/hour, with estimates provided prior to starting. 1/2 is due to begin the project, with the remainder due upon completion.

Cosmetic Dentistry Gallery #1 : All the patients in these pictures chose cosmetic dentistry procedures with Charlotte dentist Dr. Charles Payet. Most of these Smile Makeovers were completed with Porcelain Veneers, although some were done with Porcelain Bridges, Dental Implants, or Porcelain Crowns. Thin, ceramic shells, dental veneers can be used to dramatically change the shape, length, alignment, and especially color of your teeth. With good home care and regular check-ups, porcelain veneers can last for many years. If you're interested in learning if Porcelain Veneers are the right choice for your Smile Makeover, please call 704-364-7069 to request a Complimentary Consultation, or Request an Appointment Online Today!
