Here’s an example of a shot where we styled the background with neutral fabric to add visual interest Kamryn’s portrait. She had her makeup and hair professionally done for this shoot, can you tell? This time our artist did a soft smoky shadow on her to accentuate her eyes and kept the lips natural to focus the attention even more on her eyes. Please enquire about booking an artist several weeks in advance.
Get colourful and use one of our many background varieties. Here’s an artist profile shot that was used for her online social media presence and marketing. Want to get the most out of your shoot? Book our Marketing Package and get ultimate freedom with time, outfit changes, and access to all images in high resolution. Change the background several times, or just change your outfit a lot! We always encourage people to get a few looks indoors and head out for the second half of your shoot for even more variation.
There are many ways to go about getting your modelling portfolio done, and even more photographers to go about getting it done with! How we separate ourselves from the bunch is by specializing in first time/beginner models. We’ve had plenty experience of shooting for agencies around town and understand the gist of what each one looks for. If you need any advice regarding where to turn to after your photoshoot, please let us know and we’re more than happy to help.
Of course we always have the option to serve the classic recipe for headshots in our studio setting, but feel free to challenge the norm and create more variation!
The great thing about this environment shot is although it’s more complex than a clean backdrop, you still have complete control with the lighting as we’re actually still located inside the studio!
The large heritage windows provide a soft yet strong key light all the meanwhile we set up a studio light in front of you to further flatter your face.
People often say we make magic as photographers. Not only is this because we can edit coughmanipulatecough you to your heart’s desire, but we can also magically appear at your office!
We are open from morning to night, available to come to your office whenever works for your staff the best. Have us set up in a slice of your office for an exciting staff photo day! Why not make an event out of it by marketing it to the team as something fun and beneficial for them? We find that when people are told about the shoot ahead of time, the nerves can be converted into excitement as they have time to prepare themselves beforehand. A blow out or fresh hair cut can make all the difference in feeling confident that you got a great shot.
We didn’t have to travel far to achieve this change of scenery here in Corktown. Just minutes away by foot we are fortunate enough to be situated by the Corktown Common. Sounding more like a grocery store, the Corktown Common is a recently built park (and natural eco system/flood prevention site to boot) that highlights the area of the city known as the Para Olympic Village, just south of the studio.
Don’t quote me on this but I do believe the Canary District (which lies just south west) is the newest district added to the city of Toronto. That being said, isn’t it a surprise that we could find something with a little rustic charm like this old barn door? The scenery around the area may be largely condo driven, but there are a few historical remnants that got preserved along the way.
We have our classic recipe that we serve for headshots in our studio setting, but feel free to challenge the norm and create more variation, exploring what’s possible indoors. The great thing about this environment is you have complete control in all aspects, so if you have something in mind, it’s relatively easy to recreate the lighting setup.
Whatever the case is, simply email us before hand with a couple shots of ours that you like, or even of other photographers headshots. We work with you to discuss what elements are good to include in your portrait, and what’s possible to create with our expertise.
Just because you’re using your image for Linkedin, doesn’t mean you have to dress like you’re a google image search result. We love how Mahon, who is a recent graduate of architecture by the way, wore this casual but professional cardigan and relaxed collared shirt combination. The colour palette is still very reserved, with there being no real colour except for the blue tint we added later in photoshop for some emotional flavouring!
