Professional Portrait
Angelique chose our off white background and wore a bright white top to come off as friendly as possible. We love how much high energy white adds to the photo, but you definitely need to consider the brightness of your clothes on camera. Shirts you thought were white may even appear as cream! Not to worry, every image gets colour adjusted to match what you see in reality, only more polished.
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.
On Location Portrait
Emma is looking to expand her horizons and was itching to try her hand at acting and modelling. Fresh faced in her junior year of high school, she has the whole world ahead of her no matter what direction she takes. We shot her in this lovely form fitting dress that showed off her curves while still being conservative enough for her to book more sophisticated roles. We wish you luck Emma!
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!
Hair Extension Photoshoot
Aisha started a hair extension company and wanted promotional photos to use for her website and marketing. She brought in her best friends to model for her, which created a comfortable atmosphere while also helping her save on the budget for the shoot. Since she would be marketing her product through instagram, she also requested that we do a short promotional video for her to create more variation in content. Here's a group photo that we did showing all the different coloured options with Aisha looking proud in the middle!
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.
