Back to black—er, I mean white! You can’t go wrong with our most popular background choice. Professional and crisp, suitable for resumes, job application, Linkedin, press releases, company branding, realtor, or for any portrait where you want a fresh and clean first impression. One big tip we have when shooting against white is to consider having the other tones not be as bright, and reflect different shades. For example, Sanja’s blazer here is not black, but a soft navy, and her shirt—not white, but a subtle pink. These little details are not crucial, but essential if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd.
Professional Business Portrait
corporate staff group linkedin headshots business professional photographer downtown portrait family
Laura Jeanne is an Asthanga yoga teacher who needed some branding photos for her website. She booked the Complete Package, where she went all out with variation starting from formal and ending up in athletic wear. With less time pressure and unlimited changes, she was free to experiment with different outfits and props at her own pace. Definitely this softly distressed warm toned shirt was amongst the best looks of the day, as it was harmonious yet contrasting to the vivid green tones we were working with on location.
Business and Corporate LinkedIn Headshots
We shot this lovely portrait the other day of Shayne the other day for her professional usage. She brought an outfit change with her, but ended up going with her first instinct which was this monochromatic yet unique asymmetrical neckline. The great thing about this shirt is its not distracting yet adds intrigue and frames her face perfectly.
Corporate and Business Staff Headshots
Here’s a classic look that has been taken down a notch into casual territory, simply by abandoning the tie! When in doubt, a well fitted black jacket and crisp white shirt can never do you wrong, especially when you’re trying to make a fresh first impression. We brightened the background here ever so slightly than in our other soft white horizontal orientation, to create more of an impact in this tightly cropped portrait.
Corporate and Business Headshots
Bernard needed a photo for LinkedIn and corporate usage. Though it looks like a typical round of the mill session, the interesting thing that happened during this shoot was during our feedback moments in between rounds. We had all collectively agreed, along with Bernard himself, that he preferred his body facing out towards the right. In the end, it turns out the money shot (his final selection) was that facing the other direction!
Overtime, we’ve learned that no matter what our emotions are saying in the moment, in times of reflection, we often dabble in considering other options. That’s why it’s always good to try as much variation in the moment as possible, and be open minded coming into the session.
Professional Acting Headshot
Marlee was looking to get her headshot updated for an audition in musical theatre. She required the photo to be delivered with a frame and in 8x10 format to get printed.

In Marlee's case, she had her own means of printing her headshot, but did you know we also offer high ends prints of a variety of sizes, with our most common being 8x10. We recommend our printing services for modelling portfolios, acting headshots, and professional portraits for your self or as a gift.
Corporate / Business Headshots for Company and LinkedIn
Here's a quick headshot we took in our studio against our soft white background. Adi did come equipped with anti flare glasses already, though despite that, there still ended up being the slightest bit of flare, Due to the nature of glasses, they also often make a shadow on the face due to the frame, of which we completely softened in this portrait (can you tell—probably not!)
Whether it be strong or subtle, in most cases we can clean up whatever distractions there may be in your image. Feel free to specify or let us take care of those little details for you!
Professional Fashion Portrait
The other day we shot a male fashion portrait, which is essentially a portrait with advanced lighting, and fashion inspired poses. Besides knowing what clothes read best on camera, we also have a couple technical tricks up our sleeve. Essentially the basics of portrait photography is that women should have less information on their skin, and men should have enhanced definition. When we were lighting and editing this photo, we kept in mind that principle and pumped up the contrast which emphasized the shadows.
