Professional Dancing Studio Portrait

Dancer Portrait and Headshots

/ / / / / Capturing the grace of ballet on camera

We love when the opportunity to shoot a different style of “headshot” comes about. For this session we created a lighting set up that felt both soft and sharp, to best capture the silhouette and gentle fall off on her skin.

When it comes to your dancing portrait, feel free to send custom requests for lighting or background style. Whether you’re looking for a classic black & white image, or something more artistic and backlit, e-mail us your references beforehand and we will do our best to recreate that style !

“Window” Studio Background

/ / / / / background clipping for your headshots

To add a little bit of character to your portrait, try adding our background clipping service ! For only $35 extra per photo, you can get the original and the digital background version of your image. Choose from 10 different options and customize your background to suit your style.

There’s no right answer when it comes to which one is better ultimately, as it always depends on the context/usage. If you intend to only use the photo for Linkedin, simpler is better as the avatar is quite small in the first place.

As well if you are looking to get hired at a new company, simpler is better since you want to be able to have a compatible headshot ready in case they require it. Most companies tend to have team headshots on either a grey or white background, so keep that in mind if you plan on having your options open !

/ / / / / glasses for your professional headshots?

Even if you are a daily glasses wearer, it’s not always a good enough reason to include them in your headshot! Read through our tips below when it comes to shooting with glasses in your professional portrait.

1 longevity
The first thing to consider is for how much longer you will be wearing your particular pair of frames. If you plan on updating them within the next year, it will make your headshot feel more outdated than it actually is by the time you change into a new style.

2 characteristic frames
Another thing to consider is how balanced the glasses appear with your outfit. In real life we see more of someone’s body as opposed to a headshot. Therefore thicker frames glasses (or even busy/colourful glasses) have the tendency to appear too heavy in the context of a headshot.

3 tinted glasses
Although convenient for you day to day activities, it can take up to 15 minutes or more for the effect of tinted glasses to wear off, and all that waiting doesn’t prove helpful when you may be already nervous for your headshot!

Corporate and Business Portrait for Professionals

Environmental Portrait and Headshots

/ / / / / personable portraits on a natural background

Are you interested in something different than the typical clean studio background that others usually have? You may want to give our indoor window variation a try then! Lit predominantly by the sun, this warm toned environmental background is suitable for those needing a headshot that is both personable and interpersonal, ideal for communication based jobs such as consultants, psychologists, marketing, and public relations.

We wanted this shot to be as personable as possible, so by framing a little loosely we incorporated more of the body in the shot which in turn created more body language for the viewer to read. Imagine the reverse, a headshot without arms or even the torso fully showing—there are simply less visuals to work with to create the particular emotion you are aiming for.

/ / / / / hand painted canvas background

We are starting the new year with some new backdrops to offer our clients! Here is our first portrait taken against our blue-green hand painted canvas. If you are looking for a bit of character in your photo, this background choice may be worth considering.

It adds an editorial touch, and with various props and chairs to choose from you can personalize the shoot to your liking. Feel free to bring your own props too like your favourite mug, books—or even your pet ! We love how this bright flower bouquet pops against the grey background.

/ / / / / How to wear your hair for your photoshoot

Most of our packages come with multiple looks, which either means you could either change your wardrobe, background, or even your hair style !

In this particular photoshoot the client’s favourite angle and background choice was kept the same, with the variation being only in her hair style. This is a great example of how one subtle change can effect the energy of the whole image. Which one do you guys think is best for a friendly and professional headshot?
