One thing I’ve noticed after being in this industry for quite some time, is how much the weather and photoshoots have in common. We’ve seen a trend of calls/shoots increasing when the weather is better, or when storms have calmed down and people become “hopeful” again. With the weather comes the change of seasons too, and these days we’ve noticed our black background flying off the wall being customer’s most popular choice this past October! Here’s a solid example from a recent shoot for a PI (private investigator)… I can’t say much else… can I?

This time of the year, the sun creeps out behind a condo and hits this modern and ever so rustic brick wall. The areas we can use change seasonally, and we’re happen to get great light and a bit of dimension with this wall. Crop it tight for a geometric and clean all brick background, or let the composition hang loose and get a trio of textures!

Here’s a great snapshot from a corporate business headshot the other week. Although you can’t even tell, Ami actually had a different shade of lipstick on originally, that we retouched to be slightly more pink at her request. Most editing requests we are able to accommodate, so it’s better to ask than swallow your feelings—perfection can’t be reached in real life, but photography isn’t always real life is it!

Jennifer has a fine eye for unique fabric and cuts, and we loved the outfit she coordinated! We always recommend our clients to bring a variety of options to play with and see how things turn out on set.
For example, you may have two black jackets that look very similar in real life, but once photographed, the result could look totally different. Since our camera is high resolution, it’s able to pick up on textural differences. Believe it or not, even the thickness of the fabric can read through!

Nathalie came in for our quickie Minimal Package, and we made sure to get as much variation as we could within the timeframe. In the end, she only received one edited photo, as well as access to all the unedited images we shot in case she is in need of a refresher portrait in the future. Although you do always have the option of adding on extra edited photos, since Nathalie had very smooth skin and a squeaky clean outfit, she could get away with out any editing!
Professional Acting Headshots
With his hair having had fingers freshly run through it, Dimitrije threw us this wicked confident squint. With all things going on in a photo, we as humans are nonetheless automatically drawn to the gaze first. It’s why above all else, you have to get the eyes right! Once he got the eye intensity figured out, we played around wit the various ways we could play with his hair positioning. Eventually we landed in a good place, but it wasn’t long before his hair moved again and we lost the sweet spot!

Here’s a lovely artist portrait taken on our dark, more characteristic charcoal backdrop. Our camera’s special ability is to deepen natural colour. You can tell from this shot how rich the blue in her denim jacket looks, without any alteration or pumping up of saturation in post.
There’s definitely a science to it, so don’t hesitate or ask our advice on what looks good on camera. For the ultimate freedom in changing, book our Complete Package and get unlimited wardrobe changes.
