No, it's okay, let's stick with the original hook as it is this phrase
I thought about all day and have my answer for. If I was a model for a "new age portrait" I would wish it to represent not how I look but who I am spiritually.
Now, let's make it more general. How do I think creating this type of portraiture can be approached?
Garrick, let's say your partner, Pamela, is the portrait photographer. She could employ her intuitive healing modalities (e.g. therapeutic touch and/or chakra scanning) to "see" the shape, colour and texture of her model on the "inside" and this information could be translated into a visual context combined with (or overlaying) a portrait of the person. Or, insight into a model's interior could be gained by talking to the person and finding out what astrological sign they are and then overlaying their portrait with fire, sky/clouds, water, or something earthy like flowers or trees. Etc.
Now, Stu, let's say your partner, Patricia, is the portrait photographer. I understand from you she has both an interest in, and an aptitude for, photographing youngsters. She could team up with a local astrologer and a package could be created consisting of a birth chart reading (nicely presented on one page) and a portrait. If Patricia becomes interested in "software enhancement" of her portraits she could pull information from this one page reading to layer into the portrait itself.
As you can see, I am thinking of ways to make "new age portraiture" truly "new age".
Keeping in mind there is an established portrait photographer right up the street from The Fiddleguy's Place in the person of Mr. Bob House, this would create a real difference from his work and I believe it would be very exciting for the photographers themselves. I also think there is a market for something along this line among a certain, and by no means insignificant, group of people.

Lots of thought and work would need to go into creating a new age portrait but what rewarding thought and work this would be. In my opinion.
Hook One - Finished
