We shot this young beauty the other day and gave her a soft and glowy look perfect for summer. It was really easy to make subtle soft texture with her hair, and we kept things a little on the rough side to balance out the clean cut dress.
If you are having trouble deciding what hair, fashion, or makeup look works with your complexion, our stylists have the upper hand on what's trending (such as the "No Makeup Makeup" look!)
portrait
Katelyn was a lovely 16 year old who we had the pleasure of shooting her first photoshoot with us. She got our hair and makeup services but let our artists do the creative work with how to style her. We always believe less is more, so our team had her all dolled up in a very natural way which emphasized her youthful skin and full lips. After seeing her makeover, she made a funny remark that her 1/4 Japanese background shone through at full power! :)
portrait
Mary is a young talent with a bright future ahead of her. Interested in modelling and acting, we shot in a few outfits with a wide variety of poses, standing, sitting, front, side, back, indoors, outdoors—you name it! Out of all the final images she selected, we liked this one the best. Her elegant posing skills came from her background in dance, though not essential to become a good model, it is still a very good skill to have.
Location portrait
Noelle is an aspiring talent who wanted some stylish, bright and cheerful photos. Now that its finally summer, it's much easier to book your shoot in advance without the risk of having to reschedule to due weather conditions. We shot on location just outside the studio grounds, so we didn't have to waste any shooting time travelling to various locations.
studio session
Throwback to the self styled session we had where Paluvisha a few months ago. She planned out the outfits she would be wearing but just in case, brought lots of options if her vision didn't pan out as expected. We were really impressed with how well thought out her looks were. One of our personal tricks to make an outfit instantly fashionable is to use mesh, since it displays the skin in a graphically subtle way. Believe us when we say high fashion is all about showing different parts of the skin !!
male model portrait
We shot this portrait on a lovely custom army green shade which was tweaked and desaturated later in photoshop. We helped pick out this shade since it matched his skin tone well. When colours are next to each other they exchange information, so it was imperative that the colour of the set appear friendly with his natural skin tone.

Fashion portrait
Silver, mesh, and a soft pastel make for a hard and edgy yet feminine look. Chloe had such beautiful tan skin the silver really popped against it. Believe it or not, this young lady puts on sunscreen several times daily, yet can't help but tan as she is a lifeguard by day. The background for this session was painted a gentle grey with the slightest tint of green.
fashion portrait
George needed a few photos to update his profile picture on various work related sites, as well as a professionally lit portrait for his personal usage. He planned three outfits changes which he was able to get through in the 40 mins of shooting time in the Standard Package. We set up our fashion lighting for his session which is a bit edgier and more contrasty than our soft portrait lighting. We loved his sharp and unique style, and how the beige suit popped perfectly against the monotone background.
