Professional Portrait
Ganna popped in for a quick and clean headshot that she needed to get done for her new job. We used our signature soft lighting set up which shaded the left side of her face enough to provide definition, and and gently enough to be flattering against the skin. We loved how she wore this sleeveless dress, which showed a modest amount of skin while still remaining formal.
Professional Business Headshot
Andrea needed a quick headshot for work, and didn't have time to get her hair professionally styled before the session. She asked us if we were able to do some retouching in photoshop to clean up ththe shape of her curls. We edited the outline naturally so that the distracting fly aways were removed. We gladly accept editing requests, please don't haesitate to ask-you'd be surprised at what's possible!
Elias visited our studio to get his photo taken for his company profile picture. From the get-go he brought on set a perfectly natural smile with a gentle, soft expression. The most surprising thing was that he didn't need any time to warm up, from the very first photo he beamed confidence. We were shocked to hear him say he was so nervous! It's amazing how his outside did not reflect his inside, a very useful skill to withstand pressure which I am sure has helped him in his profession.
Professional Portrait
Rafal was looking to have clean studio shots that he was required to submit for an article that he was being featured in. He was sent several reference photos which he showed us, all depicting smiley and friendly photos on a bright white background, similar to a stock photo style. Although he was somewhat critical of his smile saying it was hard for him to act naturally in front of the camera, we pulled out our bag of tricks to make him grin and capture that genuine laughter.
Professional Portrait
We are enjoying these last few days of good weather and shooting outside while we still can. This is our favourite shot of Nija, a psychologist who recently expanded her practice and wanted some personable and friendly photos she could use for her website and marketing. We shot the entire session outdoors, using the local cafe to do quick outfit changes.
Product Promotional Photo
Ron is a CEO launching his international company here in Toronto. He needed some photos of him holding their tablet to use as promotional material for their release. Since the tablet's display was not bright enough to translate well onto the camera, we had to add the graphics on manually in photoshop! All the best with your new business endeavours Ron!
LinkedIn Portrait
Ross needed a couple variations of a simple portrait for work. He expected to be using his portrait online on LinkedIn, as well as on his personal website and marketing materials. He brought in several suit options and with his 40 minutes of shooting time, we were able to try them all out. He ended up picking photos in each different outfit. All the best with your business endeavours Ross!
Corporate headshot
Ken suited our soft white background perfectly with his warm toned shirt and matching tie, all that is left for the cherry on top is a glowing smile. His photo radiates positivity and friendliness, however I distinctively remember him laughing at himself at this point (with us egging him on)! Turns out natural smiles are the best and this definitely shows it.
