Angel wanted to experience her first photoshoot to see how she liked modelling. The style she requested for her clothing was casual, comfortable, yet sophisticated. We found these really cool baggy white sequinned shorts for her with a contrasting form fitting black bralette. Hoop earrings may be a statement in real life, but in photos they are a slim, and rather subtle accent that helps tie the look together. For this session, hair and make up were kept very natural since it's easier for casting to imagine what would suit her based on a bare face.
Engagement Portrait
Tannika and Devesh were wrapping up the finishing touches on their pre wedding plans, which included a trip to the photo studio for an engagement portrait session. With their Exclusive Group Package, they received 5 final edited photos, however they ended up picking 16 extra images.
In cases like these, the typical 2 week wait time would be extended by 1 week to compensate for the extra time needed in the retouching process. Since their wedding was just around the corner, they asked if they could get 2 images earlier than the determined wait time—it was definitely doable!
Business Portrait
Darren just started his new job and wasn't able to use the headshot he had used at his previous job. He was sent to us by his company to get an updated headshot for marketing and online media. We know that getting your photo is not the easiest experience, so we offer a choice of standing or sitting portrait depending on your comfort level. Darren tried a couple of rounds sitting down, but felt standing was more natural for him. The main focus of the photoshoot is for you to feel comfortable, which gives you an end result that looks like you and feels like you!
Fashion Photography
Palvisha wanted to get into modelling, and came to us to get some professional studio shots so that she could submit when looking for an agency to be represented by. She asked us for tips on which agencies to apply to, and we were happy to suggest reliable point of references. We provided her with 1 outfit according to reference photos that she sent in, and she brought along with her an outfit she prepared.
Good luck with everything Palvisha and thank you for coming in!
Corporate Photography
Tania was starting her job in a week and needed to have her portrait taken to be listed on the staff page on her company's website. Like most people, she didn't like having her photo taken and wanted it to be over as soon as possible. She got our Quick Package and we ended up only shooting for 10 minutes. Nonetheless, there were still many photos for her to choose from, and she ended up letting us pick her final image as even the selection process was uncomfortable! It's times like these we joke that coming to our studio is as nerve-wracking for some people as going to the dentist :-)
Fashion Photoshoot
Ryley is a model who has lots of experience doing commercial and campaign work. His agent wanted him to have a more expensive and mature look in order to appeal to a different target market this summer. We chose a deep neutral background colour with lots of contrasting shadows to emphasize his strong bone structure. Since the background was dark, we stayed away from black clothing and found some nice brown toned pieces and combined smooth and rough elements for an earthy, yet polished look.
Corporate Business Headshots
Patrick was being honoured for an award and needed a photo to be included in the ceremony.
We tried on several outfits, but in the end, the red and blue combo complemented his eye colour and was undeniably the best look. So much to the point that he selected his final 3 images all from this particular outfit!
If you need help with styling for your headshot, we will gladly answer any questions you may have. Bring your whole wardrobe, have exactly 3 outfits, or simply bring a couple of tie options, the choice is up to you.
Corporate Portrait
Doug was sent to us by his company that asked him to submit a headshot for their website.
More and more companies are realizing just how important it is to focus on their brand identity. One way of doing that is by displaying staff profiles and/or portraits online, which makes it easier for clients to connect with them even prior to deciding anything else about the company. These days photos make the first impression, and we do our best to make sure yours is a great one.
