Portrait Photography

We shot this portrait on a lovely custom army green shade which was tweaked and desaturated later in photoshop. We helped pick out this shade since it matched his skin tone well. When colours are next to each other they exchange information, so it was imperative that the colour of the set appear friendly with his natural skin tone. 

Get in your summer skin and book a classic portrait session to show off your fit physique (don't worry, we'll take care of the tan lines!). Give us a call and ask us how you can customize your session.

Silver, mesh, and a soft pastel make for a hard and edgy yet feminine look. Chloe had such beautiful tan skin the silver really popped against it. Believe it or not, this young lady puts on sunscreen several times daily, yet can't help but tan as she is a lifeguard by day. The background for this session was painted a gentle grey with the slightest tint of green.

Sarah had just come back from a recent vacation, and was concerned about her tan lines appearing in the photos if we used the tank top. Little did she know, it is so easy to take care of discolouration in photoshop, and only takes a few minutes to get the skin tone looking even. She was happy with the final result and was surprised at how naturally we toned down the redness. 

If there's anything in particular you'd like for us to take care of, don't hesitate to specify if you require additional assistance beyond a basic editing service (background cleanup, loose hairs, clothing silhouette, skin patchiness and discolouration, blemishes). 

Portrait Photoshoot

We shot Laura the other day, a recent high school graduate who wanted a non traditional graduation portrait. We styled her in this deep navy knit dress from Ralph Lauren, which had a traditional silhouette with mesh accent to keep the whole thing from looking too conservative. We blurred the background with a low aperture to create a classic and gentle portrait feeling.

Gabe had a unique style that was anything but black and white. We prepared this deep grey colour that had the slightest hint of character to it. Laid back modern trousers and casual knit paired nicely with his vintage fitted blazer in a classic checkered pattern. He also had the perfect summer tan which added warmth to the photo. Believe it or not, but skin this colour, whether real or applied in photoshop, is a little trick photographers use to make portraits more appealing, since people appear healthier with a tan and therefore more attractive.

Portrait Session

We had the pleasure of shooting with the gentle Anna-sophie in a portrait session the other day. These days we are playing with the colour scheme of the background to match the clothing to harmonize the colours more. We do custom coloured backgrounds like the shade you see above. Choose from over 3000 colours online.

We had the lovely Natalie join us for a studio portrait session. She had a golden tan that we emphasized in post production, as well as with a creamy beige background. Pairing it with a deep blue tank made he warm and cool tones contrast in a clean and crisp way. A little gust of wind made for a subtly organic accent.

Sydney is a creative young artist who we recently had a session with in our studio. We love this creamy warm coloured background for a dewy summer feel. Sydney got her hair styled in a sleek yet organic textured way, and our make up artist Sherlyn Torres did a stunning job of keeping this look natural and very sun kissed.
