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!
Business Headshot
Ciara needed a headshot to submit to her company's staff page. Since we were shooting on a white background, we advised her that if she wanted to wear something white to the session the best option would be a white or off white blouse underneath a firm black jacket. The goal is to balance the viewer's gaze so that there are no distracting visuals, and that the first thing people see when they look at the photo is the person's face. Wearing a white jacket would have made our eyes compete with her looking at her face.
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.
Company Profile Picture
Lokesh is a recent hire at an investors group and they sent him to us to get his headshot taken. It was shot loosely so that it could be cropped later by their in house graphic design staff. His suit was a bit oversized since he didn't get the chance to buy a new one since starting the new job, but we luckily we were able to take care of the bumps and wrinkles that his jacket made in post production. All the best with your new job Lokesh!
LinkedIn Portrait
Ross needed a couple variations of a simple portrait for work. He expected to be using his portrait online on LinkedIn, as well as on his personal website and marketing materials. He brought in several suit options and with his 40 minutes of shooting time, we were able to try them all out. He ended up picking photos in each different outfit. All the best with your business endeavours Ross!
Corporate headshot
Ken suited our soft white background perfectly with his warm toned shirt and matching tie, all that is left for the cherry on top is a glowing smile. His photo radiates positivity and friendliness, however I distinctively remember him laughing at himself at this point (with us egging him on)! Turns out natural smiles are the best and this definitely shows it.
Acting headshot
Ricardo is an actor who got signed with a new agent and wanted to get some updated headshots. To cover a variety of looks, he prepared a few pieces to change it up such as a leather jacket, simple shirts, and a sporty jacket. We love how we golden the light was in this portrait, it warms up an otherwise bland white brick wall. Since Ricardo wanted to shoot in the evening, we timed the shoot to be around sunset time in order to achieve this effect.
