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.
corporate headshot
Rikki came in for a Quick Package and was in and out within 10 minutes. Since she was only getting 1 final edited image, we were able to narrow down the best shot on the spot. That way we avoided the process of emailing her the gallery and having her choose form home, and were able to start editing the photo sooner. Being that decisive about your picture is definitely a rare skill, and Rikki was no stranger to photoshoots, knowing her best angles before even stepping foot into the studio.
location session
Rahul booked an Exclusive Package, and got a combination of photos, with some being indoors in business attire, and some outdoors in casual clothes. We had 40 mins to shoot inside the studio and 40 mins to wander around the studio on the hunt for backgrounds. It definitely involves more planning to shoot outdoors since we have to work with the sun as our primary light source. The sun was quite bright on this particular day, so in order to avoid getting harsh shadows on his face, we had to use buildings to block the light, and fill in the shadows with a silver reflector.
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.
realtor headshot
Gurinder's husband is a realtor and she wanted to try out the industry for herself. He offered to help get her set up in his company. First things first was she needed professional headshots in a tailored suit. We chose to shoot on our soft white background which compliments everyone's complexion. Gurinder also had makeup and hair services added to her headshot. However upon looking at the photos half way throughout the shoot on the big monitor, as a personal preference she thought her hair had too much volume compared to how she wears it normally. Instead of interrupting the flow of the photoshoot in order to fix her hair, we simply adjusted the shape later in photoshop.
