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.
Business Corporate Professional Headshot
Is it grey? Is it charcoal? No! It's our pure black! You'd be amazed if you knew how flexible each backdrop is in terms of range of lightness depending on how the set is lit. Upon confirming your session, we send you a list of all background options available, and encourage you to be open minded and try out something other than the typical white or grey. Even with those backdrops, depending on how much we lighten or darken the midtones and highlights, we can create different shades of grey to suit or stand out against whatever outfit you happen to be wearing. Need a little help with what looks best for your purpose? Just ask and we would be happy to guide you in the right direction.
Corporate Business Linkedin Headshots
Sometimes it works for your business portrait to be on the low key end. Depending on the purpose and intention of your shoot, different expressions might suit. In this case, we give the example of the most low key pose you can do, straight on.
Don't get us wrong, as abrupt as it may be, it also makes for an instinctively approachable first impression, albeit in a completely different way than an angled pose. With face on shots, there's nothing to hide and you have all your cards on the table. This psychologically evokes trust, and straight forwardness, which is ultimately an attractive quality in humans!
Professional Fitness Portrait
Laura Jeanne is a Ashtanga Yoga instructor and wanted some photos to use on her website both of her portrait and her practice. In order to get an organic feeling and make the photos more artistic rather than instructional, we took the shoot outdoors for half the session. Since Laura got our Complete package, we had enough time to do so comfortably. When shooting outdoors, the flow tends to be disrupted more often, so we provide comfort in the ability to add on extra shooting time if things end up going well on the day of your session.
Fashion Portfolio Headshots
Though we often shoot business and professional portraits, we also dabble in fashion when we get the opportunity, which means more room to play with colours, shapes, and textures. In this instance, we shot this lovely lady against our vivid lavender, which our brightest pastel that looks stunning against tan skin. Don't have a tan? — that's not a problem!

Let us know what your heart desires and we'll do our best to create that in the most natural way for you.
