WHAT TO WEAR/ Fashion Editorial Portrait in the Studio

WINTER IN PHOTOLAND

/ / / / / how to dress seasonly appropiate for your portrait

It’s officially a new season and hey, I am not going to deny anyone if they want to get photos of themselves in summer dresses at this time of the year, but it’s much more fun to play with incorporating winter pieces in some of your looks. I mean who doesn’t want a photo of themselves looking like a GAP ad they can print and gift to the family?

Our tip of the day? Go all out and try heavily accessorizing your look with materials that match with the current season. Since it’s winter at the time of writing, knits, scarves, jackets, coats, and hats, all make for interesting layers that add character.

In this particular shot, the monotone colour palette and long silhouette of the coat create a stylish winter aesthetic. To accentuate the vibe, we added a bit of dark blue in the shadows for an extra touch of cool.

WHAT TO WEAR/ Corporate & Business Headshots for Professionals

HOW TO STAND OUT WHILE FITTING IN

/ / / / / how to layer for your professional headshots

It’s that time again to answer one of our most popular questions: What should I wear to my headshot?
In today’s blog we are honing in on the topic of how to distinguish yourself from everyone else, when it comes to your wardrobe specifically.

* * *
People either want to look different than others (competitive) or want to look like themselves (authentic). The simple answer to both of these quandaries is to add more character to your outfit by adding layers. Whether it’s via subtle jewelry, nails, or accessories like a watch, pocket square, tie or cuffs, personalizing goes a long way.

In this example, instead of a basic shirt and jacket look, our client added on a knit sweater that’s soft nature and colour downplay the seriousness of the fit.

Outdoor Portrait for Dating

Summer is almost over, but we still have a few months to go before all the greenery fades. Here’s a commemorative post to inspire people to shoot outdoors while we still can!

Since the studio is conveniently located just next to Canary Park, there are several spots we use for shoots during the fall season. Although we can technically shoot outside from around 2pm, the ideal time of the day to shoot portraiture at sunset when the light is somewhat golden and soft. The above shot was also taken around that time, making for a sun kissed and irresistible glow!

Friendly Business Headshots and Portrait

Friendly Business Headshots

/ / / / / how to appear approachable:

In this post, we discuss two tips on the ever-so-popular topic of how to “look friendly” for your photo!

Tip number one: Experiment with micro head head tilts. This little trick does more than you think! By doing this you are essentially imitating the body’s natural movements that occur when we connect with something interesting.

Tip number two: Add a unique element of style that falls in line with your brand (ie: classic, contemporary, conservative, creative…). For example this client’s detail of choice would be the gently monochromatic bow. Neither boring nor distracting, it perfectly blends together the look while adding a bit of character.

Add Personality with Textured Backgrounds

Since a headshot is ultimately a static image, a great way to bring your photo to life is by adding some personality through a textured background. This works best if your clothing is rather simple as in the example above.

For this shoot, our client just happened to be wearing a classic black & white suit, which ended up being the perfect match to our characteristic background. Because the canvas is hand-painted, it adds an element of organicness that contrasts well with the clean, corporate wardrobe.

Business Portrait with Nature Background

Environmental Background for your Headshots

/ / / / / using a window in the office

Today we will be discussing the potential of using a window on a bright day for your business portrait.

One of the benefits of office spaces photography wise is the floor to ceiling windows. Not only does all the natural light make us feel more positive, but it serves as a unique option for your background as well!

In the above example this particular office had a stunning view of Queen’s Park, although even a city skyline without a single tree can look nice too—it all depends on the lighting condition outside. We recommend aiming for a sunny day as opposed to overcast.

Please note the option of shooting at the office is only available for group bookings of 5 or more staff.

/ / / / / how to dress for your headshot:

In this post, we introduce you to a couple of tips that will help you decide what to wear for your portrait headshots.

Tip number one: Don’t ever be afraid to go colour. When debating what to bring along with you, we always recommend throwing in a few flavourful pieces. It’s a no-brainer that colour evokes emotion, which is especially convenient if you have something particular in mind.

Tip number two: Jewellery/accessories go a very long way. In this portrait, the necklace keeps the photo feeling casual while adding a personable and polished layer. There is is slight magic that happens when the light hits reflective material. Whether that shimmer is achieved through an accessory like a watch or by your clothes such as a leather jacket, a little shine definitely will make a big difference!
