In this photoshoot with Clara, we started off nice and easy by shooting her business headshot against a grey background. Since she booked the Professional Package, she had enough time to switch the background and her wardrobe and go casual for her second look.

We encouraged the use of a black background, which is our go to option when it comes to creating a moody and artistic portrait. Since the images were going to be used on social media, we threw the rules out the window and even suggested having a seat on the floor with out shoes to make her look and feel comfortable.

Portrait Photos and Headshots for Artists

Bryn is a multi talented musician and artist who wanted some ongoing content to post on his social media and marketing. We did a low key shoot using only natural light, where we followed him though a morning in the life of Bryn. The shoot was playful, candid, and a great change of pace from the typical studio headshots.

I’ll be sharing more photos from the session in a future post, but for now enjoy these action shots taken while he was actually playing the harmonica (and beatboxing) at the same time—if you can believe it!

Marie is a local artist who wanted something unique and visually interesting for her profile picture. She had such killer style we thought it was a great choice to show her in a 3/4 format so we could get her unique rings in the shot as an accent, all the while capturing her graphic silhouette.

What we love about this pose is it shows the hands clearly (which believe it or not—psychologically comes off as trustworthy). Moreover it subtly focuses the attention on her face while still feeling natural. In a portrait, you want to make sure the attention is on the subjects face first (whether the client likes it or not). It is a fact that humans love looking at other peoples faces, and we always keep this in mind during our portrait sessions.

Spice up your photoshoot with the use of props! We have no limitations on what you can bring to add some liveliness to your portrait. Even for business portraits, we often have had people bringing in something related to their profession to add a personable touch such as their notebook, favourite mug, or pair of sunglasses. Here’s a casual portrait that was from a company who conceptually depicted what their staff do on their days off from work.

Here’s a lovely artist portrait taken on our dark, more characteristic charcoal backdrop. Our camera’s special ability is to deepen natural colour. You can tell from this shot how rich the blue in her denim jacket looks, without any alteration or pumping up of saturation in post.

There’s definitely a science to it, so don’t hesitate or ask our advice on what looks good on camera. For the ultimate freedom in changing, book our Complete Package and get unlimited wardrobe changes.

Artist Album Cover

Musician Portrait

Michael is a local DJ who is working on putting his first EP together. He needed a photo in a square format to be used for his album cover. We happened to have our set painted a moody deep blue which was leftover from a previous session. His music incorporates electronic and jazz together, so we were lucky it happened to be the perfect shade of blue to represent his music style. Looking forward to hearing your tracks once everything is all finished!
