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!
Profession Headshot
Jason had wanted to get his picture taken for several reasons such as for his company web directory, his online profile picture, and for personal usage. In this vertical variation, we added black foam core to the side to make for a slightly more chiselled shadow effect. We also coached him on getting that perfect engaged eye contact when looking into the camera.
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.
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!
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!
On Location Portrait
Meganne is interested in acting and as well as alternative modelling (she has lots of tattoos believe it or not!) so she wanted a portrait that was styled with a bit of a punky feminine edge. This romper suited her perfectly with a relaxed fit on the top and tighter fitting lower half. A little bit of soft light crept through the side of the building and was able to cast a golden hue on her skin.
